I'm am considering converting my aliegence from Ford RS To Subaru Impreza Turbo.

What's the Starting price for a Scooby Turbo 4-door (not bothered weather U.K or Jap spec)

I was considering a Sierra Cosworth as an upgrade to my 'Series 1' Turbo, but I think (Personally) they are getting a bit long in the tooth with many having clocked up in excess fo 80,000 miles.

Any help and advice on the above would be appreciated.

Scott, try a site like topmarques.com (or co.uk) and do a search for Impreza, they usually have a few, or Exchange and Mart have a good search engine as well. That should give you a good idea on price range and the sorts of car available.

Don't forget to consider other animals such as MKIV Supras or EVO VI's. Preferably a Supra.

Thumbs up

Prices start from about 9k for a decent car, for either an early Japanese import, or an earlier UK spec car.

You can pick up cheaper ones with very high miles <B>and</B> dubious or missing history, but they aren't worth the hassle.

For 12k, you can pick up a very good 96 UK spec car, with about 70k miles (and FSH) from a private sale, or from a dealer for about 1k more.

Supra's not a bad choice. I believe some of the Jap ones have an egg timer on the dash for recording 0-60

If you're gonna go for a Supra, make it a mk iv, alternatively an Evo V - don't see many about and they go like stink. Not sure about the tuning side of it but then again Scoobs aren't that easy to tune really...
