Moley for insurance

for £1000 for a S plate isn't a bad price, in fact at that cost, it is a worthy track car (my excess is £800 for track use )
A subaru isn't that much different from any other car out there, and you just really want to give it a good look over and have a decent drive (again, same as any other car).

I believe on an s Plate, you may have issues finding someone to map it, if you ever get to that, as it may be a phase 1.5 .

Is the guy you work with honest, as if he is, he should know the ins and outs with it after 5 years ownership?

£1000 is cheap, but remember, you only get what you pay for, and at £1000 what are you expecting??? Unless it comes with FULL service history and has been well and truly look after I would be wary. Why so cheap is what I would be asking??

The only classic scoob with full dealer service history as far as i know is Nick Bes's old car !!! lol

first of all what is your budget? id personally shop around especially dealers, if you buy privately its the old case of bought as seen so id go to dealers get one with full service history and the least amount of miles done as well i personally wouldnt buy one with over 60,000 but i deffo wouldnt buy one will over 100,000 on the clock i look at it as the more miles done the more likely it may go wrong but whatever you do make sure you hpi the car yourself, cos you never know whats happened to it and if theres still finance on it piece of mind of a few quid, insurance i got mine online for 766 fully comp with admiral but when you do your insurance add your misses as an extra driver they tend to drop the price down a bit good luck with your choice

sorry to be the voice of reason but you cant own a scoob on a buget, end of!

if you try you could be sorry.

if you by this car and intend to give it some, racing ya mates sort of thing you will be repairing it regularly. if you are sensible driver you might be lucky but then why buy a scoob

not trying to tread on your dreams mate but been there and done it myself

the cars always had its services and oil change every 6 months, Ive never seen him go fast in it and he seems very genuine i just cant seem to get a cheap quote £3000 is the cheapest
