Arguably the most successful fleet car of all time, Vauxhall's Mark II Cavalier is hard to ignore on the secondhand market, if only because of the number of examples still on the forecourts. To be fair, it does make a great deal of sense as a used buy. Build quality was always good, the car always performed well and servicing and parts remain easy and cheap.
Not a bad buy, if only because of build quality, model choice and the sheer numbers around. If you don't find exactly what you want first time out, there'll be another along in a minute...
