You will, but it will be a high mileage example, plenty around that are cheap now.
If you want similar, look into the Zetec-S.

Zetec-S Mondeos are gorgeous IMO. 18" alloys as standard, and basically a very slightly watered down ST (bodykit wise).
ST

the accords are well known for being reliable but when things do go wrong they can be very costly, whereas if something goes wrong on the vauxhall its "likely" to be cheaper to fix. so swings and roundabouts 
accords also have a fault on their gearboxes, something about problems getting into 5th, it was discussed on here not long ago but can't remember what was said exactly may be worth looking into if you're seriously considering it

Good call - rare and cheap as they're overshadowed by the VXR.

well i want something quicker than a 1.6 corsa as i dont want to be hammering it everywhere as i have more responsibilities now a days, and i have got a lot of expensis now so need something that is not to bad to run arround town and motorway
now i found these both are fairly cheep on insurance honda is just over 600 fully comp and the vaux is 805 fully comp..
Honda Civic 1.6 LS
Vauxhall Vectra GSi
turnes out that i have slightly less cash to play wth now, but i do have about 2 to 2.5k any other ideas anyone?

What exactly is wrong with Italian?
You could more than likely find a nice Alfa 147 JTD for that
Or a very nice 156 Diesel
