Default Newage vs classic
Have been looking at possibly getting a road going scoob or an Evo soon,
Have noticed that the price of a good classic now is very close to a blob or bug eye as in the newage seem to be a lot cheeper in comparison
Has anyone else noticed this?

i've noticed this too, horses for courses really.

its all down to the car, the condition and mods really. a good classic will be worth more than a tatty newage and vice versa

it also depends what you want from the car. due to the new age weighing alot more a classic turbo 2000 is quicker than a new age wrx despite haveing less power. the classic has the better power to weight ratio

Road and track prefer Newage... Drag has to be a classic

If you get an evo you could go out for drives with Nige!Or maybe thats a really good reason not to buy an evo?
