Looking to buy a used Vauxhall Tigra

I have a 10 yr old KA at the moment and really want a new car!
Ive been tempted by the scrappage deals but dont think i can afford a new car, or havent seen any i like at the moment

I like the look of Vauxhall Tigras and Peugeot 207cc (but too expensive)

What are the best sites to look at?

Ive found a nice 1.4 2dr Exclusive which i like and is £7999 from a local garage
I looked at this site - http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/used-prices/Valuation.aspx?deriv=33307&plate=82 for price comparisons and looks like a good deal

Are they good cars? Hopefully going to have a look at it next week :)

    They are essentially a Corsa with a different body shell. (as I understand)

    What I do know for sure is side/rear visability is extremely poor due to the huge rear pillars, so parking is difficult

    ... unless you get a convertible and put the roof down each time you want to park :D

    My wife drives a Tigra..she loves it. Good petrol user, easy to park (!) she has no complaints with it at all.
