Are you after a classic shape or a bug/blob?? Wagon or saloon? Modded or near standard?

You need to give us a bit more to go on I think.

£4K will see you in a nice late classic or a 2003/2004 WRX with a few mods?

What are you after particularly mate?

You can buy different cars from different eras on that budget.

Thanks for the replies sorry guys it was a bit thin on the info front, but i do like the classic saloon preferred, if theirs one out there that has been slightly modded so that i can add to it as i go along but if the perfect one comes along i would jump at it i think i would get more for my money with a classic shape but i could be wrong i am guided by yourselves.

Condition? The price alone means nothing. In my mind, cheap for a reason.

It's in excellent condition, recent new brakes all round and a new gearbox too, the owner had lost his job so needed to sell the car so it was very cheap

That's what pissed me off with some owners. The slightest bit of trouble and they let it go for peanuts. He coukd have got £2k all day long if it is in the condition you state. Although I'd be worried if he had kept on top servicing, consumables etc.

Buyers market out there atm. You could buy a really tidy classic saloon and have enough money to do what you want to it, but finding one that's not been too molested might be a bit tricky
