Gasoline by 200 hp to 700€ searched

Evening together, in my circle of acquaintances a car is being searched again, which is why I would like to pick up a few tips here. The following basic data: Due to my dammy search for a similar car I know a few possibilities, which I already – more or less – excluded for him. There would be first of all the Golf 5 GTI and Ford Focus ST. The Focus ST is apparently slightly more expensive than the Golf, but the Golf also only in the price frame, if you search on cars, the In addition, the E46 series from BMW from the 325 is of course very interesting. Unfortunately, the range of usable models continues to shrink, I have the feeling. Either the moon prices for BJ01 with 150k and more are called, or they are tinkered. Finding good coupes is almost impossible. With the Compact ́s it is still most likely to find something. The Ford Fiesta ST has a little too little steam for it. That’s why I now have the Peugeot 207 RC There you get for 6-7k € a year of construction 2007/2008 model with less than 100k. Unfortunately the engine seems to be a little raised (only a 1.6 liter machine (I still have to look for a control chain problem, don’t know what it looks like). Are there other alternatives? Maybe you should take the slightly higher mileage (up to 150k) and grab the Golf 5 GTI? Thanks for every tip!
