Is £6000 enough for a My99 turbo 2000 ?

the sale of my current car is looking to be WAY below what I had hoped for leaving me to struggle with 6k for the new one.

Am I kidding myself?

 

Depends on condition/history of car. If it has decent history and in good nick privately you may find a high miler. A lot of the cheaper cars have been crashed/ thrashed. As a guide my Local dealer has a 00MY Mica red car with 53k on the clock for £9995. I got offered £7900 for a 00MY, PX against a £14k WRX. The dealer said any mint Mk1 (Classic to you and me) Scoob will hold its value...

 

I don't know so dont attack me but, 99 model would be MK2 ?
does the face lift count as a model upgrade?

 

is there not a T reg scooby in the for sale section for £6,200 ?

 

You could get one for that money, but it'll most likely be a high miler. You'd need to make sure it had a full service history and hadn't been owned by someone who'd thrashed it, as buying one that hasn't been cared for can be an invitation for a VERY big bill. Don't forget that buying it is one thing running it is another. You must put aside money for the high insurance costs, servicing, fuel etc...

I know, I've got a Sport at the moment and unless things go wrong its not that far off the turbo running costs, fuels not cheap and services well, £450 at the Subaru Dealer ship and thats with nothing wrong found!

The insurance is £400 a year more with the turbo than my Sport and thats not taking into account I'm half way through my 3rd year NC.

So Long as I'm careful I can run it and I think it'll be worth the extra £100 a month or so.. am I wrong ?
