What car do you think I could source for about £2.5k that has a turbo, looks good, and won't fall apart after 5 minutes use?

I feel that it would be pointless getting a C20LET for my Astra due to the expense involved and future resale value, so I may as well sell it, and buy a car that already has a turbo for about £2.5k?

I just looked on AutoTrader, looks like there is a few Calibra 4x4 Turbo's I can pick up for between £2.5k-£3k. No Cavalier Turbo's though.

Not too keen on Punto GT, a bit too square in shape for my liking.

Jury's out on Escort/Fiesta RST, they are getting on a bit now?

you can get a ST185 Celica Turbo for around 2-2.5k, it'll be an import, but still a very good car for the money
