Here we go again !!

Nothing wrong with a 8 valve and in my mind you're more likely to find a good one as they are more common (these days anyway).

Plus I always hear of how people looking to buy a 16v end up driving 4 or 5 before finding a good one through poor setup etc.

Around 750-1000 will get you something worth playing with i'd say - and i'd only stipulate 90 spec and as much history as you can get on a nice clean low mileage car when you're looking.
