so, im back from uni for easter on friday...

I really want a car this summer which im going to buy, but the dilemma is which kind. I have recently found a really good insurance company that will insure me on the likes of Golf Vr6 Volvo S40 T4 and after a quick quote... an Escort RS Turbo. Seeing as i will only be having the car for summer as we cant take cars to uni, it needs to be one that wont let me down or be costly to fix whilst i have it. The quote for a S40 T4 was £1,000. Which is the quickest car i have got a quote for so far. the F-reg RS Turbo which i got a quote for, was £1,400. Now, i will be getting a pro rata refund for my insurance when i cancel it in september so its not too much of a worry but i dont really want to be spending alot on the car in case it goes wrong. Now id love to get an RS Turbo for the summer or something alike but dont really know what to look for and i dont know how much one is worth. i have seen one in the local paper for £2000. it reads.

ESCORT RS T F-reg, Red, MoT, ZVH engine and more, owned last 4 years, service history, garaged, space needed

Im really in a pickle! any help/advice would be appreciated
