After ages persuading him not to buy a Lexus IS200 (nice car but not exactly exiting)

He has decided he wants a Scoob and has been researching them ever since he drove a Terzo and seems to be very enthusiastic (by his standards anyway) about Scoobs. He will be looking in October as his new garage will be complete by then so assuming he doesnt buy the Terzo (not currently for sale) will anybody be parting with a Scoob about this time, it must be the following as he is a picky sod

Classic shape
Low (or reasonable) Mileage
98 or later
Saloon
Manual
Full History
No big mods (Exhaust, filter that kind of thing is okay)
Preferably a pampered one owner car !

I think he will spend up to 15k, which considering you can get a new one for 17/18 grand should get a minter.

Plenty to go at.... you can usually get some very good deals from the for sale sections and pay alot less than dealer prices, and most for the price range your dad is looking at will still have a warranty...

Question

Mark,

Not sure if the email got through, said it had a delivery problem.

Let me know if it did, and if not, drop me a quick line and I will reply.
