Did yo have a colour/ exterior interior preference? Maybe worth mentioning along with budget.Welcome and best of luck with the search. When looking for mine, I used this forum and also saved searches on autotrader, carandclassic, eBay and gumtree. Across all those there were normally 3 or 4 new ones popping up per week so you may need to be quite patient. As you are open to most colours you’ll hopefully find one you like pretty quick!
Hi and welcome to the forum Dan. 
The engines are pretty bulletproof so it's worth considering higher mileage cars. There are two people on here who have Coupes that have done over 200K miles!
Bear in mind that the standard spec was a bit basic, so if you want things like Bi-Xenons, heated seats, Multi-Function Steering Wheel, Cruise or rear parking sensors they were all on the options list. Although Cruise is fairly simple to retro-fit. M-Sport seats are very desirable and were only standard on Sport models, optional on SEs.
Anyway good luck finding the right one.
