When did you buy your first scoob and how much?
Following on from the under £5k thread.. I bought my 93 wrx in jan 04 and paid £6100 for it
which seemed a good deal at the time. It seems extortinate, seeing what they are going for now though.

I bought my scoob at 22 in March/April 2003, it's an MY00 uk Turbo and paid £14k 
for it.
Could nearly buy a brand new EU import for that money these days

The older (better) ones still have, in comparison to other cars! We looked at a Volvo while our scoob was missing; a V40 SE which was the same price as the scoob when it came out, and was a year younger. Price? Three grand. Scoob price? £6,500.

MY93 WRX - personal import.
Picked up the keys in Jan 2000, and paid around £9,000 in total (original cost of car + shipping + import duty + VAT + 4 new tyres + registration + UK agent commission!!)
Seemed like a bargain at the time as you couldn't get any turbo for less than around £13,000 That summer, Subaru raised their import quota, and prices have fallen ever since.....
7 years later, and it's probably worth pennies, but I've had over 100,000 miles out of it, and it still goes!

I bought my '94 Legacy Turbo in February '99 when it was 48k miles old. I paid £6100 for it.
It's now 99k miles old, still mine, and still going strong
Although it's wheels, brakes, suspension, gearbox and diff are all considerably newer

bought my first (of three) scoobs back in november 2005, when i had been learning to drive a few months. was indeed another 4 months before i passed my test
so you can imagine the incentive sat there waiting for me to pass first time, which i did. was 'only' a sport, but not bad for a first car. cost me £2600 for a my98 white sport with 89,000 miles from a garage too, not private, which then was quite a good price.
was only 21 at the time, so imaging the first thing i did after passing my morning test after coming off nights??? didnt sleep for 48 hours straight, was too excited about driving everywhere...
