I am still looking for a scooby, got about 15k, what will my money get me,

I love the type r or sti

any suggestions

cactus jim

i woudl say that for 15k you should be able to get a low mileage 98 - 00 Type R V5 or 6, even a V-limited. Check out one of the top importers, i wont say names online, however PM me and i will tell you the ones i have seen offering good deals.

There seem to be a lot around for between 14 and 15k, if you get one fresh from the importers, i would say you are probably going to get a bargain.

i would be happy to help you out if you want to contact me.

leviathan

that is one tidy car mate, good luck selling it, although im sure you wont need it

Question for you; was that stereo standard/in it when you got the car - reason i ask; i have the std double DIN stereo that came in my sti5 and was wondering what ICE options i have - yours looks quite tasty

chris

cactus jim

probably the best page on the thread!!

VinPetrol

cactus jim

Leviathan

How come you sellin mate?

SCOOBYD00

Job crisis.

When things are better I'll get another - V5 to get the spoiler

Needs to go.

Doing well on ebay so fingers crossed

Cheers

SCOOBYD00

Doh! - sorry - butted in on that one!

Leviathan

Im selling because basicly ive got a few small debts i want to pay off, nothing too major but enough to bug me when they go out my wages once a month. Wipe the slate clean and all that then put my feet up in my rocking chair, pipe and carpet slippers

Chriss, the head unit was in it when i got the car, it has a wave expander fitted so it works in the u.k. I didnt know they had a double din as standard.
The headunit is Kenwood and must be aftermarket.
