Hi Scobby people,

Currently driving a Fiat Coupe 20Vt but looking at changing to a Scooby Turbo in the very near future and was hoping you could answer some questions for me.

I've looked at a few recently, including one that was advertised on here but not found the right one yet. I have a budget of upto £6K and am in no great rush. However, one has appeared close to me and has the following spec -

1994 L SUBARU IMPREZA Turbo WRX 5 Door AUTO Metallic blue, 65000 miles, Central Locking, Electric Windows, Electric Mirrors, ABS, Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Alloy Wheels, roof rails, roof bars, twin boot spoilers, turbo timer, folding mirrors, rear head rests, etc, immaculate paintwork, just serviced with new tyres, new MOT and TAX

The chaps asking £4595 for it.

Questions are -

1. Good price ?
2. Auto boxes, what are peoples opinions on these ?
3. At 65000 miles, should it have had the cambelt service done ?
4. Anything specific I should look for or ask about?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Chuck.

Auto - don't think these are very common. My opinion is that a Scooby doesn't lend very well to an auto since you would be slightly detached from the driving experience. I personally wouldn't touch an auto but this is very much dependent on what you want from the car. I'm sure there will be plenty of people on here with much more technical advice and more pricing experience than me. Get a manual!

Id go for the manual too IMO.

also seems a reasonable price, the cambelts are done at 45k miles so it would have been done....

its also a hatch version not a saloon (dont know if u noticed) AND its an import

has any1 else noticed 90% of imports all have about 60k miles on them... dodgy,

personally I wouldnt touch an import unless I was 100% sure about it...
