Had my MY95 WRX for 3 years now and fancy a change, possibly something newer but still fun.

Got 10-11K to spend

Cars so far

Honda civic type R (not as fast as scooby, and FWD but bullet proof and still fun)

Supra TT (fast, fun, but old and RWD..!! )

EVO 4 (fast, fun 4WD but a bit old)

EVO 5 (would love one of these they look so so nice)

Intregra Type R (fun, good handling for FWD)

Lotus elise S1

BMW M3 evo

Any one have any experience of the above cars or has any other options???

I will be sad to see the scoob go, been so much fun over the years but she has done 94K miles now and is 10 years old..!

Saw an Evo6 for 10k on the mlr a while back, 50k miles, needed minor paintwork.....you'd get a lovely 'X' plate MY00 scoob for that money, of course. Can't think who might have one of those for sale though!

 

Only scoob id go for is a WRX STI TYPE R version 5 or 6, however id still be worried about big end failure..!! plus 11k wont get one..!!

I was going to spend £13k on an EVO6. A few days ago I ended up spending a bit more on an EVO6 TME. You know the EVO craving will get you in the end and put a big smile on your face. £13k would get you a pretty good 6 GSR 1999-T

 

You'd get a decent M3 for that sort of money. Find yourself a good-one with a FBSH, and I don't think you will do to badly in performance and reliablity stakes.

 

Merc C43 AMG.

 

M3 Evo. Just make sure the VANOS has been sorted.

How about a mazda RX7?

 

to many horror stories about RX7's plus servicing and fuel economy, their also getting on a bit now..!!

Still leaning towards an EVO 4 or 5..!!

Would have to be a 5 not 4..........

 

just can find ANY 5's near me they are all miles away..!! Do prefer the looks of the 5 plus i understand the engines are stronger and have more torque..!! just cant find any especially for 10K..!!

defo evo 5 mate. the engines better as the early 4's had crank problems or something. youd find it hard finding a nice 5 for 10k though get up to 12ish and youd find a gud un. whats distance mate adds to the whole excitement going up with anticipations of the car etc.... or maybe thats just me a saddo

 

your the optomist..!!! id look at it like id drove all that way and be gutted if it turned out to be a shed..!!

Thing is i ideally would like to trade mine in and most of the 5's ive seen on trader have been private..!!

Heard something about crankwalk, but hey i knew about big end failure on the scoob before i bought it, but still bought it and so far (fingers crossed) ive had no problems.
