Hi my name is jamie & im new to this forum i will be getting my first scooby in a few months & thought i would join up to get as much info on them before i buy one i've always wanted one & i can't wait to get one i want the classic shape but there are so many different models to choose from i know i want an english version & around the 1999 plate.

all the help from you people would be great then the modding can begin.

cheers all

 

If you want a UK version around 99, then there are three choices:

Uk Turbo 2000
RB5
P1.

If you don't want to pay too much, stick with the UK Turbo, although I think RB5s have come down in price recently. P1s are still quite expensive - £8k+.

Should get a good MY99/00 for £4-5k, less if mileage doesn't bother you.

For e.g. my MY00 W-Reg with 104k is probably only worth £3-3.5k.

If you stick with 99/00 then you will get the best of the classics, and also the earlier ones are harder/more expensive to remap.

Take your time buying also, buyers market at the moment so be choosy and don't pay too much

 

thanks mate that has helped me im going for a uk turbo i will be choosy as i want a good one since it will be my first one

Welcome to the madhouse mate....

you get a few w***ers, like the one above, but generally most people are helpful.

take your time when looking and try and see / drive as many as you can, then you will appreciate the differences between them. (no two scoobies drive the same!!!)

try and get along to a few local meets and speak to people there.

we were all new to meets at one point, just pluck up the courage and go!!!!

good luck..!!
