Hello just turned 21 ive been saving up for 3 years to buy myself a Scoob ive got quite a lot tucked away under my matress. I thought i`d join the Sccobyet forum to get some advise etc on good deals what to look for and whats good and whats bad.

Cheers

 

Hi.

Have you tried the subaru website? You can search online for a second hand car, across the country. I found my last two scoobies this way.

http://www.subaru.co.uk

Theres also a good faq, although I cant remember the address.

Save 50% of whatever you've saved for the insurance.

It's a nightmare for us lot in our 30's, let alone you young un's !!

Hiya Mate - best of luck on finding something. Have a look at http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm for the FAQs.

Cheers, Harry.

 

I agree with the above. I did my initial research on there but actually boutgh mine from Beechdale's in Nottinham.

Cheers guys just wandering: im at work just now and cant be bothered surfing for insurance, whats the insurance like for us young un`s

 

Well I'm 20 and best I've had so far is £1,900 from Zenith...
and that's on my dad's insurance!!!

On my own it would be more like double that! Hoping I find something better soon. Got a month to find something!

Oh Oh think i`ll have to be nice to daddy fot a bit

 

scottyscoob, people going to get us mixed up!!!

welcome mate. c u about

scottscooby

 

Depends what you get, but expect to pay over 1500quid. no joke

 

i'm 21 with 2NCB no convictions and paying £1500 with tracker with Tesco

 

It's all down to your post code.

 

Hello,

My insurance is £835 Fully comp with direct line and i was 23 when i took the policy out. That is with a drink driving charge on my license oops!!!

So they seem quite resonable.

 

23 - 2 years NCB, tracker = £1500 Tescos too...well worth checking out, I did lots of ringing around, and there's was the cheapest even including the cost of a tracker. Oh, I do have a few mods declared including some 17" Radius R3's - and a 24year bloke on the policy!!

It's worth every penny anyway

check out the "for sale" bored here for scoobs...IWOC is also a great source of info: www.IWOC.co.uk and of course the SIDC pages and the FAQ.

Oh - and welcome to Scoobynet!

 

Expect 2k depending on post code and model and rejoice if it's less.

 

Your only hope is to ring around to find the best deal for yourself.

We got ours through Chris Knott Insurance Services - recommended on Scoobynet.

Your circumstances are quite different to ours (being a mere youngster an all!!) but must be worth a try.

Good luck - Just bear in mind that you may not be insured if you do not declare that you are the main driver + you will not be increasing your NCD if you are only a named driver.

Cheers

Ps i live about 15 miles out of Inverness (away out in the sticks even the sheep die of boredom here) anyone live up in this area

 

Hi Scottyscoob,u shouldnt be too bad up there.I stay outside Perth but i lived in Inverness for a bit and the premiums are pretty similar.I was 21 when i got my scoob- brand new uk car cost me £1200 fully comp with protected NCD, 4years NCD and a clean licence from privelege.Renewal last year was £1000 and they added £25 for a full exhaust system and air filter- not too bad at 23!Good luck with the hunt and give Aird motors in Beauly a look, ive tried 4 or 5 different dealers and theyve given the best service by far.The advantage of being out in the sticks is that youre more likely to keep a clean(er) licence! il keep an eye ouy for u tho as im looking for a place up there just now- see above reason!!
