hi everyone just registered and thought id say hi,dont actually own scooby yet but in process of looking to buy,my current car(p1 306 gti6) is far to small for our growing family so i need something with a boot thats not full of ice and nos im gonna be looking for a wrx estate(or what ever they are called as i dont know) so any help,tips and what to look for would be appreciated

 

hi and welcome !

i was the same on here for months b4 i got mine, the ones you are looking for are called wagons, dont know too much im still learing myself but id say low mileage is good but check if its import or not as insurnace does vary alot , listen for any loud tapping/knocking , check inner of tyres for signs of wear this may mean its seen alot of track action and a good service history is good , new cambelt every 40K i think .

all the best !

 

are imports a problem??? ive been told to stay away from them,well i was when i was looking to buy an r34

 

i cant really say tbh i know some peeps on here have them so they will be able to tell you more but as far as i know norm scoob is grp 17 ins and import is grp 20 ! imports have different gearboxes and need to be run on high octane fuel etc , best speak to some other peeps .

 

ok i hope some ppl can point me in the right direction but thanks for your help and welcome,im not in any great hurry to buy as i have to sell my car first!!

 

Can't beat a good Wagon mate!!!

I bought mine a couple of months ago..... Dark Green 00 with 53k miles...One owner from new and full SH

Best bet is to go for one with the normal FSH, MOT and if it's been looked after. The previous owner of mine had dogs, so I can only assume it wasn't thrashed (Alsations hanging on for dear life!) Make sur eit doesn't show any signs of mis-use etc!

I bought mine because I snowboard a lot. At nealry 6 foot my snowboard would not fit into a saloon, but it is just as fast and as modable as the saloons, just more practical!

When you get one, post a pic for all to see!

Welcome!
