Oh..... It's a Civic. Thought it was a REAL weapon and you'd gone completely mad!!!!

BTW 90k is a big service £700+ so check its had that & aint bin stupidly modded (boost turned up badly chipped etc) & shud still b sweet as many 6 figured scoobs about

They r both around the same price and insurance isnt a problem which one u lot go for

 

hello mate welcome to scoobynet,both great cars but who,s gonna want the rb5 when it gets to 100k

 

Mancboy-Have you seen the RB5-Its not the one for sale in Keighley West Yorkshire is it?

 

yeah it is y is it a bad one the other one is for sale by litchfield imports thats what i was bothered about the resale value nemore opinions i am aware that they r both good cars but what does everyone think

 

RB5 and the Terzo sound expensive at £11500. You could have a full UK spec Year 2000 model EU import with around 20000 miles for that.

 

You can get an MY01 for 11.6K now

Why not put an ad in the wanted section for an exchange,
the civic is a great car and I'm sure someone out there will
want to do a deal. Just see what you are offered.

unfortunately i have to go through a dealer to do part ex so does everybody think the rb5 is 2 expensive the tenzo is 10k i dont really know that much about different models and specs etc jus really want a turbo 4wd and i like that blue steel paintowrk on the rb5

 

I'm sure you could get something with less mileage an PPP for about the same price.

The RB5 isn't that special (And yes I have had one)

 

thats fair play m8 i just liked that colour wot do u think of the tenzo comes with 18s and a load of tuning bits i will ring litchfield 2moz really dont know wot 2 go for insurance and price is about the same so just looking for opinions

 

Mancboy-Give the RB5 a miss mate. I know the guys who own Keighley Trade Centre personally and I pop round on a regular basis.

If you haven't seen the car in the flesh dont bother wasting a journey to go and have a look at it. It looks like its done 90,000 miles and its evident that it was a company car rather than someones pride and joy. Others might be a bit more expensive but worth the extra money.

I've nothing against these guys but wouldn't want a fellow enthusiast to get his fingers burnt!!

 

cheers for the tip m8 i might go for the tenzo then does nebody know nething about these because i would save myself over 1k wot does nebody know baout these, this one is at lichfield imports.OK bottom line is i will prob get between 12 and 13k for the type r so this is what i have to spend on a scooby what should i buy i want a good interior,easily tuneable and a decent stereo

 

Get a my99 or later, these start at just under £10k. I would think even from a dealer you would pick up something well within your price range, just don't forget to haggle..

I am upset my own car has now done over 50k miles, it was very low mileage when I bought it a year and a half ago. If I had bought one with 60k on the clock I would be up to 100000 miles by now.

With your budget, you will be able to get a really nice car with low miles, just don't get carried away buying the first car you see!!!!!!

 

do u know ne good dealers i have seen a new shape silver wrx for 11995 but i am not sure on the lights on the new shape so ne suggestions of good dealers i would be happy with

 

www.well-lane.co.uk normally have a decent range of second hand Scoobs. I'm sure they'd be interested in your car as a part ex.
