2k to spend, below grp 15

Getting a 1.8 Bravo for my 21st, not sure whether to keep it or to go for something else? So far I've though of a 1.6 sport but not sure

Any idea's?

Preferably something that can tow the corsa on a trailer

Parents don't approve, bit upset that i want to sell the car they are giving me straight away, could keep the bravo for a while while i get the corsa sorted.

And they think the running costs of the Frontera are going to be loads higher than the Bravo

I heard that Frontera's have poor re-sell value. Maybe something to consider?

get a TD of some sort. and it will need to be big as well. your trailer weight should be no more than 85% of the car towing it

Adam dude

sell that bravo on your drive.. then buy this one and you could strip the ICE and kit (if you wanted to) and probably make back most of the money

so really your looking at a free car
