The scoob costs a fortune to run and i have now started thinking about a Skoda Vrs, i think i need a head exam. How do i stop this temporary bout of insanity!!!!!

 

If you feel that the cost out weighs the pleasure, then buy one.

 

229 lb.ft @ 1900 and a whole 130 Bhp with a combined cycle of 52.3mpg and only insurance group 9. But no flat 4 no burble and its a Skoda . Need to buy a winning lotto ticket i think! Plus i got to move out of home and get my own place so the Skoda apeals for that reason - cheap frills and cheap insurance as im not going to be able to live in a nice post code as o do now!

 

As mentioned over on Amita, I spend a sizeable chunk of my tiny wages on my Scoob.

And I wouldn't have it any other way!!

 

That is a good point i spent well over £1000 on servicing and repairing it over the last two years.

 

So not that much then?????????

Dont forget how old your car is too.

 

I've spent over £4500 in 8 months

 

 

your crazy if you get rid - just carry on enjoying the scoob you only live once. I spend most of my scoob ownership at the shell station - who cares, dont see why people buy the car then moan about MPG

cough - good job I dont do many miles or mine would be up for sale

 

Do not have a car that gives you sleepless nights - thats my opinion.

At the end of the day, you can always come back if you find you cannot live without one.

Missy_C had Skodas (Skodai?) and she was pleased with them. Obviously, she was never allowed back on a SMACS meet but life is not always fair.

weird that as I always sleep with the window open - mind you ive done that with all the cars ive owned - you cannot beat the feeling of being followed and taking a mile detour just to find out it was some old bloke going to the local shop

 

[QUOTE=scoobyverysoon]to paranoid if i thought like that id have sold my scoob long ago living on a main road

oh hang on.....i dont have a scoob

 

[QUOTE=pete higham]LOL - not for long you dont - when are you looking at getting sorted Pete

 

[QUOTE=scoobyverysoon]
hopefully getting my finances sorted this week

i spoke to the guy who is selling the car and he said that he would save the car for me this week

 

Is that it i have spent nearly 20k on two cars since Febuary and then i'm going to spending some more later in the year.

 

Yes - thats actually buying said cars - but you've not spent 4.5k on repairs and modding them.

And at least youve reached the pinnacle of Subaru ownership - The Sti

 

Here we go again

 

Eh?

 

Funny you should say that about mods as Leanne and myself are planning to do some mods towards the end of the year.
And unless someone didn't tell me that my car was an STI I'm sure it's only a humble WRX as was the last car.
Dai your spot on again my mate "here we go again" who Care's?? Well we don't could of got one (STI) if i wanted just wanted an "Impreza".

 

Knowing what i know now, when i bought my Subaru i would have saved a bit more and bought an STi, still each to their own

 

Just drove throught the airport tunnel's with windows down both tunnels done from a standing start Boy does it sound well!!!! So easily swayed into keeping the Scooby - for now!!! Having said that if worse comes to worse when i move out and i can't afford to run it i can allways come back to scoobies in a couple of years with an STi!!

 

if you buy a skoda do you realise the amount of sh*t you will get of me

and you called me for owning a bug

 

Sod all wrong with a Skoda! I owned one years ago and did 100k in it and it cost me bugger all.

Bugger all to buy!
Bugger all to service - as it only got serviced every 20k!
and bugger all when I sold it

Mind you this was in the days that you could buy 2 star petrol!!
