scooby daz

depends on your budget i guess,but theres a few on cars for sale m8

Spoon

You'll never find any Scoobys for sale in OK magazine though.

BMWhere?

A couple of months ago you didn't have to pay on Scoobynet (not that I disagree with this policy change!) Have a look on SIDC forum!

How much do you want to spend???

plenty of scoobies out there for sale m8, or are you looking for something special

MR Fusion

I guess it all depends on how long you're wanting to wait. I saw some absolutely overpriced and/or thrashed examples when I first started looking, but soon found the model I wanted (at the right price) by looking further afield.

What spec/price range are you looking at?

Cheers,

Ian.

Not looking for anything special.
All i want is a MY99-00 UK turbo (for insurance reasons) in blue and air con with 40000 to 50000 miles on the clock around 9-10k.

I think I should be abole to pick up a MY00 for my money.

I think I might need to start looking out of the Midlands but I dont fancy a long drive just to be disappointed

Its always the same, isn't it?

When you're not looking the world seems full of what you want - THEN - when you start looking there isn't one you want! Why? Simple reason:-

There are STILL loads for sale (like you saw when you were just casually glancing) but NOW you want to buy .... you have a budget, you have high hopes of finding a 1 Owner unmolested one, one which hasn't been thrashed to within an inch of its life, one that has been Subaru Main Dealer maintained, one that has a sensible mileage, one that is as it came out the factory, one that has NO mods whatsoever, and then what happens????? - Theres ONLY ONE LEFT ..... and I'm sorry, mines not for sale just yet!

Mine meets all of PSLEWIS criteria except one - mods, but they are 'sensible ones' (no gold alloys anymore!)

Remember air-con was an extra cost option on the UK classics - it was always after market fitment in any case - you could get your local Scoob dealer to fit it if you really wanted it (£1000 ish). Car without air-con weight less And there is less to go wrong.

You might get lucky and find a car locally but if you're after a particular colour/spec then I think you will need to be prepared to travel.

Mine no good to you? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthrea...4&page=1&pp=20

Cheers,

pslewis - dont you have a green wagon? or am I going crazy?
I think you're right now I have a budget and Im buying Im goina be pickey.

As for the air con. I think I just want it easy for myself and its having to spend an extra £1000 ontop of the car is not a good feeling. I think cars with air con still seem to go for the same price as one without or and I going crazy again?

SiDHEaD

Because I wanted Red Mica (or gay pink mica as Pete calls it ) to be a bit different, I had to travel to buy. I viewed one in London, one in Derby, and then settled on one in Nottingham.

If you want one that's right, you've just gotta make the trek.

SiDHEaD - didnt it just p1ss you off after along drive just to be disappointed?

I didnt know people from Kiddy came out of kiddy. LOL sorry worked im Kiddy for a while and you kiddy folks took the p1ss out of brummies.

SiDHEaD

I was only disappointed with the one. The one from London (first i looked at) i woulda had but some1 put a deposit on over the weekend so it was sold when i rang monday.
I wasn't too disheartened, just excited that i knew i would be getting one soon!!! Then i found my banger

Have you tried searching on Auto Trader web site? You might get lucky and find a local car thats blue and with aircon and lowish miles. I think only a small percentage of UK classics have air con - when I bought my first Scoob it was a £1500 option and Subaru later reduced it to £1000.

Cheers,

Ian.

I saw one in the trader spot on but its in Bournmouth but I dont fance the drive. Looks like Im gonna have to drive to find the one I want.
Could end up driving 2-3 time just to buy one car. the first view then hopefully second time to buy.

There's loads for sale mate. I've been talking via email to at least 6 owner's selling on scoobynet. There's loads in the autotrader and well lane turbo centre have a few. I can recommend you view Ian's motor. He sent me some pics and it looks very clean and tidy, unfortunately I had already put a deposit on my new one.

StickyMicky

i rember reading one of pslewis older posts about how the bodywork of scoobs was paper thin and his car is full of dents, hes lying, he trashes his car all over the place and plays dodgems in the supermarket car parks

There are loads of MY00 classics for sale on Autotrader in your price range, do a national search and be prepared to travel.
