In an attempt to be serious, SSS - you can pick up a brand new import 2.0GX for that sort of money if you look around www.keyringcars.co.uk I think.

Would definitely buy a Turbo if it was me but insurance etc is substantially more.

Good fishing.

Have a look in the for sale section. You can get a good UK Turbo for that money, MY99 or maybe a MY00. Just be aware of the running costs. Insurance will be a fair bit more than your 206 as well. I'm 25 5 year NCB and I pay £930 for a MY99 Uk turbo with a couple of mods.

Don't laugh, but I have been checking out the proven used cars section on the www.subaru.co.uk site. If you do a national search you will get enough results to see just about everything going, from 1.6GL's through to P1's

As a newbie lookin for my first scoob I have learnt a fair bit about what models come with what spec and at least I know what over the odds means too

for $12.5k you really should be looking at a turbo assuming you can stump up for the insurance and running costs. you can probably get a 2.5 -> 3 year old model for that (SOB, as that is all mine is worth), should be in good nick, with FSSH, maybe even some mods.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of advice at Donno, it should be a great day and fingers crossed it stays dry so I can try out my slicks

keep an eye on the for sale section here and don't be afraid to bargain.

read the faq at http://www.sidc.co.uk

regards,

greg

What do you expect with a username and location like yours. LOL

Never mind all the inuendo's you seem to always post.

Come say hi at the track, just make sure you wear a helmet.

Sexy Sue Sucks,

I am sure you do this in jest, but in all honesty, you aren't exactly making the rest of the females on the board look good.

Confine it to the muppet forum if you can
