Go to autotrader and see what similar models are asking, undercut them if you can afford to and it should sell quick....

Also if the car is modified and you have the standard parts id put it back to stock (Standard cars appeal to a wider spectrum of buyer)

Is insurance a factor? OR are you so old that insurance companies charge you a fiver for anything you like>? lol

Hmm that might be a problem if you went for a Clio Sport, it might shoot it skywards!

What do you have in mind??

Any suggestions on wot 2 av next, 1.8/2.0L ish engine

ID just bite the bullet and go for the Clio sport mate, you wont regret it.

Astras are piss slow!

Don't get the 1.8 SRI - the 2.2 SRI is a much, much nicer drive and if you get some quotes you'll find hardly any difference in the insurance. Consumption isn't really much worse either. Very smooth, torquey drive and works well in the Mk4 chassis. They're not exactly fast (although they claim 60 in under 8 seconds, 7.something iirc) with 144bhp, but they feel more powerful than that. And chain driven as well so no expensive belt services. Try find one of the late ones wearing the SRi Turbo bodykit from the factory (they do exist) and it'll be a solid motor.

Like this - http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/454195.htm - but they look almost decent in black (aside from been a Mk4 Astra of course heh), lowered on the GSi Turbo wheels
