   Hi guys/gals
   
   I have had 2 saxos ( furio and a vtr ) i have had bad luck with both
   
   1st one was in an accedent i was unaware of and when due for m.o.t
   the mechanic lifted up the carpet in the boot and we could see straight through to the floor and the wheel arch in the boot was made of wood
   granted it was a ver good cover up job PR**k
   
   2nd was my vtr and was just a mess and i didnt have time or money to fix lol
   
   so now................
   
   Im reciving some money and i am in a pickle
   furio or westcoast
   
   i have found a t-reg westcoast in red its been lowered, tinted lights all round, vtr wheels, k&n , 4-1 mani straight through exaust. 3in backbox tints and show cage 12 months mot but no tax for 1200
   in averege condition i would say
   
   or should i buy a furio ?
   i have seen a few for less than 1k with almost 12 months mot non moddified
   
   but im unsure of what to do ?
   i will want to modify to roughly the same as the westcoast but i want the mk2 features but i dont mind the mk1 as much
   
   as you can tell im feeling very confused lol
   please tell me what you would do if you were me
   
   THANKS

   why get a furio if you've had a vtr?

   If it was me I could never go back to a furio after owning a vtr. How much is ur insurance on a vtr?

   go for mk2 whatever you do , and buy a standard one and try to spend a bit extra and get a low mileage one that hasnt been thrashed or anything, if its been modified chances are its been thrashed about a fair bit.

   I don`t agree with your statement about being modded means it`s been thrashed,there are plenty of people on here with modded saxo`s that are looked after.

   ye see, i always said if i was to buy a modded saxo i would buy it off here because people on here take care of there cars ( most people lol )
   and you get a progres thread so you can see what it has been through
