Right here are the options....

Spend 2k on kitting the corsa up, Full bodykit / Lowered / Alarm etc...

Or get a Mk4 2002 Astra GSi costing me an extra £7500 ish

Opinions and give your reasons

Well it's either kitted up slow car, or factory kitted up relatively quick car...

Although if I you can get insured on an Astra GSi then surely you could buy lots of other cars for the money you're talking...

ifyou do get 1 my advice would be dont buy a brand new 1, try and get it 6-12 months old then will be alot cheaper than brand new.

eah your right I have got my heart set on it

The only thing is if I get the astra I will only have £150 a month to live on - I have taken into consideration Rent/Petrol/Other loans etc...

Do you think £150 is enough to live on for a month??
