Hey man

Haven't seen any decent 205's for sale in a while, they come in waves almost, none for ages then about 470230879 in a week!
You could also consider a 106 or 306 xsi, Citroen AX or ZX... In fact there's an AX GTi on trademe at the moment

Don't look that good :(

Also it's not a GTI, probably an XS or GT with a different boot. Anyway has no WOF or reg and a smokey motor. Bide your time man something will pop up :D

This looks pretty mint but $4700 for an AX is ridiculous.

I paid $3800 for my 205 gti a couple of years ago. You should expect to pay 3-4.5k for a sorted one and weigh up the problems with the savings for cheaper ones.
