Are you chopping the zetec in or going to sell it privately? No idea what they're worth but I'm sure altogether you'll be able to get a nice clean scoob for your money!!
Happy hunting matey!

You really can't buy these cars on a budget! Save up another 4k, or get something else.

Got my car which is worth 4k and 5500 in the bank, im earning 30k a year so insurance is not a problem direct debit every month, im 23 6 years no claims and clean licence. all in all ill have about 9500 to spend will that be enough?

Servicing is also expensive, ditto for consumables like clutches... If you cut corners you'll most likely end up with a 4k billl for an engine rebuild.

There are lots on the market at the mo so you should have quite a choice. You will not need to spend 9,500 but if you do, i would be wanting a low mileage example.
I would try to keep £1500 or so aside to do a couple of bits to the car if you get an unmodded one. You will want to start playing with her as soon as you get her and then you will find yourself overdrawn every month!
You will not regret it, i had a zetec s before which was a great little car but the Subaru is one of lifes necessities!
ENJOY
