Default New Girl Looking for Classic Scooby

Hi All,

New to scoobynet, hoping to get some tips and advice on buying my first classic scooby..
What to look out for?
Looking at a uk 2000 (X), says it has 290bhp, done 133k with scooby history, mapped by ecutek, stainless exhaust etc...
All appreciated
Lia

Welcome to SNet

I'd be worried about the mileage too if that is indeed miles.

I would say not to worry to much about mileage as long as its it full service history with belt changes.

Also the MY00 onwards are easy to map as they are ECUTEK

Thanks

My T Plate STi is on 111k miles and is running lovely. ECUtek is not a problem as it's done via the OBD under the steering column. 290 bhp without any other mention of mods is a concern.

What's your car history? 290BHP, if genuine, can be a bit of a surprise in a Classic Scoob.
