Default Scooby wanted!
Relocated to Bournemouth and got a house sorted so I need to sort out the more important thing in life... getting a scooby!

I've had a good trawl but its a bit of a minefield

So if anyone is selling or knows of a decent scoob? Preferably a wagon and budget poss up to 4k .

Cheers

Seen these today:

This one says standard but then lists some parts i thought aint standard?

This one looks good but surely a full 3" exhaust with sports cat needs a remap to run smooth?

The STi looks pretty genuine other than stereo, brake disks and steering wheel, I believe everything else is standard or a genuine Subaru option. Looks like a nice car.

The bug is just a bug, not my cup of tea, the classic would be a better and nicer car but that price will creep up and you need to factor in a remap for uk fuel if it hasn't been done.

There is one very odd thing before you jump in. Clearly says its still got the limiter fitted....but the photo of the speedo would say otherwise.

To have it running in MPH means it would have to have the de-limiter fitted ( it does both ) and probably would have been fitted when imported to get its certificate.

Otherwise that very nice.

Did you say your budget was up to 4K? How about looking at RA? If you intend to keep it, and no mess around with it, would be a good little investment.

I'd love an RA but still yet to see them around that price.

I'm thinking the bug could be a very good deal, plus I haven't had a newage scoob before...

The bug doesn't look anything special at all, and yes, it should have had a remap to cope with the exhaust and sports cat change.

Much better examples out there if your budget is up to £4k....

Thanks Steve, guess I'm getting too hung up on mileage, just want something that's going to last.

Picked up a scoob today, felt at home in it strait away and couldn't resist!

01 reg, little bit higher mileage than I would have preferred @ 101k but fsh recent cambelt n not bad price for condition.
