Depends what you want. I have just picked up a 98 S Vectra SRI Estate to bomb about in, not too bad on fuel, even handles well. 105k on clock, 38mpg, insurance Grp 12 etc.

LPG is the way to go, i've had 2 cars on LPG and loved them, looking for another now, you get the performance of the petrol and better £ per mile than a diesel, if you work it out, if a diesel of what ever model does say 50mpg and the petrol does say 35mpg, because the LPG is half the price of petrol you are getting twice the 35mpg for the same money so thats 70mpg, you do lose a little in performance but you wouldn't know it.

have a look on ebay, loads on there but tick the box to find LPG in the ad as well as the title cos some people don't list cars as LPG till you get into the ad, you'll be surprised how many are about and what you can get, and if you buy with it already fitted it doesn't make the car any dearer than the same model without LPG so your getting the LPG kit fitted for free basiclly
