I'm interested to here peeps views and experiences if the have sold their Scoobs, but a different make and model car but then returned to a Scoob.

Oh yeah and how long was it before you saw the light again.

A colleague in London did this


Sold a MY99 WRX

bought an Evo VI

3 weeks later part ex'd it for a MY04 STi


He said it was the biggest mistake he's made chopping in his MY99.


I myself was considering chopping my MY02 WRX in for an RX8 but decided against it in the end



Anyone else?

 

Nope

 

I sold an MY99 and replaced it with a Civic Type R (30th Anniversary), am now back to the Scooby after 1 year. Great fun in the CTR but not the kick in the kick in the back punch acceleration or wet weather confidence (amongst other things) as the Scoob.

Not getting a bug eye was also largely down to company car tax which is better on the MY04.

 

had the tuscan for 6 months but want a more useable car again,so will be returning once the tuscan is sold!

 

Had a bug-eye brand new on a 02 plate-had it one week and got laid off at work so it had to go

Then bought a my99 turbo when i got myself a new job(slightly lesser wage)
Anyway was costing me too much to run so swapped it for a clio 172 in april

Woke up the next morning and slapped myself stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had the clio for three weeks and am now back in a bug-eye scoob

 

Got rid of the UK300 (PPP'd) on monday night, end of the lease, sharing the wifes TD5

and to be honest i am not yet missing it....but give it another few weeks and i will let you know if i get withdrawal symptons (personal and wallet)

Cheers

Buzzer, had it 3 years, lease was up, decided not to pay the balloon. Will wait until i come back from holiday in September before commiting to something new.. Yet to test the disco in the twisties , but it does have ACE so may have some fun factor

Cheers

Jim

 

nope. Scoob to 205 - Supra - Skyline

Sorry, but never looked back

 

nice car but happy to move on.

 

Had quite a few cars and when I was 19 I bought a my98 impreza and loved it, then decided to sell it 8 months later and get something cheaper and I got a fiat coupe 20v turbo which was a fun car and very quick. But I regretted selling the scoob so I sold it 4 months on and bought a my99 impreza PPP about 3 weeks ago and am very happy again.

 

Std Turbo

UK300

UK300 - PPP one month Later

Audi Quattro 3.0 Sport

Focus ST170 - ******* ponder 2 smilie wont ******* well work

STi Type UK

Next ... 333 probably

 

Sold MY95, bought a Landrover, 2 years later bought an Sti

 

I had a 99my Turbo for 3 years then sold it for a Freelander which was the worst car I've ever owned. I kept the Freelander for 11 months & sold it for a Focus ST170. After a year, I went to a Subaru dealer open day for the new Phase 3 cars & got the bug again. A year later I bought a WR1 once the Focus depreciation had got under control.

 

my mate had a uk turbo

sold it and bought a porsche carrera 911

has been today to look at an RB5 because he misses his sccob

 

went from a my97 turbo to a p1 to a sti 7 ppp to an evo 6 rsx, fancied a wr1 or spec c but couldnt afford the 30k, tried a p1 again yesterday, what a let down, was nothing like what i remember my old p1 with a full ss system
mark

 

had a 99my turbo for over two years
didnt like bug eye, ended up buying mini cooper
one of the first ones out, didnt like it much
always in the garage for recalls and bmw dealer was a to**er
now happy again in new age sti
would like a type25 next maybe

 

Had a MY97 uk turbo for 2 years, unfortunately crashed into someone, the resulting points and claim has meant I''ve not been able to insure a scooby at a realistic price for the past few years.Currently got a Lupo GTI , Recently been out test driving different scoobs, just waiting to get a drive in a WRXPPP and a bug eye STI before deciding what to purchase.......................................

 

went from p1 to evo7 fq 300 then back to p1 after 6 months. No regrets - evo was great car but the p1 withe full decat was the better all round package. But the new MR340 ......

I went from an MY93 wrx to a peugeot 406 HDI and 6 months later back to STi type R

 

How many Jonathan?!?!

You a billionaire?!

 

jus outta intrest how much has that 6 months ownership cost you ......this isnt meant as a provacative q..........?

 

CHINS HAVE YOU BORROWED ALL THEM CARS OR BOUGHT THEM. MY GUESS YOUR A CAR DEALER

RS4 THAT WAS A NICE BUY

 

fcukin hell chins

 

Not a dealer. Equity in house would be much higher if I didnt like cars so much. Worst move was moving to an allowance from a company car !!

 

Went from a 99 Turbo to Jag X-Type 2.5 (should have bought 3.0 litre). Jag was a great car but unfortunately Ford are obviously rubbing off on the Jag dealers as the service was poor at best and the car was constantly back for niggly problems that took 2 or 3 attempts to fix. Either that or the Jag dealer viewed us X-Type owners as the bottom of the food chain and not potential repeat business. Main reason I went for the Jag was that I didn't like the bug eye look or the insurance premiums that I was been quoted for the scoob.

However, now back with a 2003 STi UK, test drove it, loved it, bought it I don't think I'll be making the same mistake and parting with the scoob any time soon

Had a MY00 with a few mods for about ayear, sold her for a 225 TT Coupe. Nice car, good looking and well made but just didnt have that grin factor. Very clinical and cold.

Another year on and back to the fold with a new age WRX PPP..love it! More practical and more fun, you can have it both ways!
