Default 53wrx 32000 miles £6000 Or poss PX for Sensible Family Car

really need to get my finger out of my a*** and try to get the scoob sold, so i can get a nice family car.

53WRX
32,000 miles
Wide boy rally car body kit
sti interior (passenger seat has a split)
sti suspension
sit rear spoiler.
engine untouched bar baileys dump valve.

i dont have service book, as i didnt get one when i bought the car, however i can dig out reciepts of the 2 interims and 30,000 mile services i have had done in the year i have had the car.

£6000 or would consider exchanging for a family car (along the lines of a Ford c-max)

pm if interested.

thanks

I wouldn't go for a c max . I traded mine in for my scoob .
They dont have anymore space than a normal focus apart from they have a little more head room . The boot space is not great either as i couldn;t fit my pushchair in it but fits in the scoob .

And you forgot to mention that when the clutches go, they WILL be more expensive than a Subaru one (unless the solid flywheel kit is available now).

A sensible family car and can double up as a Kite buggiers transport

Here

Mine costs under £250 a year fully comp to insure with both me and Donna on it, you do not get much more family friendly (7 seats), and you get loads of extras, fuel economy is better than a Subaru as well

neilll... my dad has a cmax and we found there was plenty of room in the boot for pushchair and whatever else 4 adults plus 1 kid needed.

Just found his a very nice car, nice ride, plenty of room etc etc.

Nate i would love a 4x4 but Sarah dosent want anything that big, to be honest she is going to be driving the car the most.

Col a lot of people outside essex look in here so may as well try with a price this time.

Don't get me wrong , it was a nice drive as i had the 2l 136bhp one . but i didn't find it any better than a normal focus and like nate pointed out the flywheels are naf . Thats 1 of the reasons why i got rid as mine started to go and they're not cheap.
For the difference in price i'd get a normal focus imho.

you really want an estate car like a mondeo focus astra then you have plenty of boot space and most of all you need a car that the rear seats fold down so you can get yr kite buggy in without breaking it down to much

Cool

Good luck with the sale Paul, I'm in exactly the same boat with Sam.
Although the Forry was half what I'd pay to insure the 03. I'm hoping I wont get hit anywhere near so hard to add her on at the renewal.
