Personally I'd go for the Turbo and spend some money getting it to handle like the NA, I've started to realise now that at the limit the Turbo is considerably more dangerous, it goes into oversteer an awful lot quicker and more violently even on roundabouts. If you can get a deal like I did on my VXT which was staggeringly cheap then go for that, I know the VXR is a limited run car but even though I could afford it, I wouldn't be able to justify that much money when a VXT could be so much better for only a small outlay. Turbo - Scared Stiff - AMD - much fun I need to get my car set up by scared stiff, it really does handle very differently to my old NA Wicky, my car was a fully loaded VXT with 8k miles on the clock, your price you quoted there wasn't far off at all

theres a few vxt's going for 20k at the moment but they are bog standard.

20k plus miltek, amd, induction, wheels, suspension, pads = a 24k beastie

Been looking at autotrader to see how much i should ask for mine. It looks like 15,500 is the going rate for a standard NA on a sept 51 plate like mine. This means that whoever buys yours cheeky will certainly be getting a good deal. You might aswell be giving it away

You any closer to deciding what on earth you're doing yet? NA, Turbo or VXR? I hear there's a good blue turbo with lots of extras on these here forums for £22k
