You can look out for a standard one which would be around:

2wd - £3500 - 204 BHP
4wd - £4500 - 220 BHP

for a decent one. although standard ones are getting harder to find.

If your looking for more power, it would probably be cost effective to buy one which has a few mods already done. The price will start to go up though.

Ive just bought a completely standard 4wd for £4500. Its a mint car but im planning on stage 2/3. so a few mods already done, like stainless exhaust and induction kit, would have been nice.

When buying one look out for rust, they all have rust, its just how bad.
And then blue and white smoke is bad. Etc....
