Don't bother with the stolen one, there's plenty to choose from. As for too cheap, prices dropped hard if you wanted to sell. I let mine go at the end of 2010 for a lot less than I and others though it was worth but you couldn't sell them. That was fully serviced 40k 2006 plate, 1 owner excellent condition too.
What year, mileage and price are the ones you're looking at?
Both 2006
Stolen has part service history 80k £3300
Other one is full service, new brakes, recent turbo, Cambelt done 900 miles ago £4200 but seller is being very akward to sell, I cannot view till weekend, and thats if I click on buy it now that he will set up a different ad up for, and then he will send me the link to. Just seems weird.
If you want an Astra VXR make sure it's had regular services (every 6 months would be ideal), from what you've posted WALK AWAY FROM BOTH!
A stolen one will be a pain to move on when you want to, plus a new key you'll be looking around £150 for it (inc programming) ideally you'll want two.
As for the other one, it's FAR too cheap. 06 Astra VXRs are normally around £6000-£6500 mark. one for £4200 is either non existent or not what it seems.
If it seems to good to be true, it normally is.
^What Keif said, no point skimping and buying a dog, your better off buying a very decent mk4 gsi than a dog vxr for that money.
You're living in a dream world getting a VXR for that money unfortunately.
There's a few advertised for £4k+ and that is my limit tbh. I've got £3k and the sale of the BMW (when I advertise it) for another £1k
What else is there for £3-4k? It's gonna be the Mrs daily too so she's gotta like it, she's always like vxr's since the nurburgring edition came out.
I don't mind buying damaged repairables etc, as I can upgrade them and repair them as and when I can afford it. Rather than forking out a large lump sum straight out.
And whatever I buy I'll be taking it to the nurburgring in may too

You will not get a decent VXR for anything under 6k
But saving £2k ? The one at £4200 seems very well kept, lots of history etc, but I'm worried about spending so much money.
£2k is a LOT of money for me, im tight, always have and always will be
You've not seen it? £4200 for an Astra VXR is too cheap. It'll be a dog!
No point "saving" £2000, then spending £3000 when it falls apart!
Take a look VXRonline Astra VXR's For Sale
No I've not seen it but his 1st email was full of information about it says full history etc. but now he's gone quite
