All depends on how much you got to spend m8. Scoobs available from £5K - £40K. Also depends on how much insurance you can afford.

Agree that SIDC and Subaru uk are the best places to start.

Cool

A few things to bear in mind, make sure it IS:-

UK model
Full Service History - Main Dealer
One Owner
Mature Driver

Make sure it IS NOT:-

Import
Dodgy Servicing
Loads of owners
Modified cars
Raced/Track Cars
Owned by anyone under 30 -

Normal stuff really - buy a dodgy one at cheap money but its not worth it in the end - spend the money and get the best
