I'd rather spend less and get an older but better Elise.

I didn't even pay £27k either!
Just had some stone chip protection fitted to the front clam. Looks good, but on close inspection it's a little loose around some edges and dirt+water got in. Taken care of the worst of it though. Guess they should have mentioned it needed more than 30 mins to set properly...not that pleased with the job. Darn miserable weather today.

Brand new car, take it back and ask for it to be redone. Leaving dirt and crap under it will just ruin your paintwork.
Can't really compare old v new. I would have saved up a bit more and got a 355, what's the worst that could happen?

First car 
2002 1.6 16v Vauxhall astra MK4 CD. Picked the alloys up from south-end on sea (i live in Bury St Edmunds) on Saturday along with an irmscher boot hatch spoiler (not fitted yet) got the car for £400. Fairly tidy with a little bit of bumper scrapings and a little dent on the O/s passenger wing. Needs a exhaust flexi bit and a rear window wiper motor but other than that its fine. That and needing a good clean.

Shiny again!

In need of a new camera though
Awesome purchase Alex - handling is king nowadays imo, there's only so much power you can use on the public roads in everyday conditions.
My brother has an older 111R. Been out in it only once and it was fun.
Only pic I have of it:

Hmm so basically they put a worse engine in it because of Ozone layer. Great.
Ozone layer ?

£400 for that Astra? Is that all they're worth?! That's a rather good find and a proper way to do a first car!
Think you need to clean the lens on your (phone?) camera EyeDot

O and the standard stereo is brilliant!

Meaning they replaced the engine to be more eco friendly (Yes I do know Co2 has nothing to do with Ozone if thats what you were hinting at.).

Thing is, the engine does better fuel economy, which is better for your wallet. It has a better CO2 rating, so is better for your car tax, and thus better for your wallet.
It still does 0-60 in 6 seconds and 127mph and has the same 134bhp
Whats not to like ?
