newby to scooby's!!
Hi all
Had a go in an Sti and I have fallen in love.....
I want to buy one, but I only have around £9000 to spend. Looking around, reckon i could buy a 7 year old one with around 40000 miles on the clock. Could anyone give me some advice - am i going to be entering a dark world of throwing money down a pit, or are old Scoobies reliable??
i understand servicing etc is expensive - but if well maintained am I taking a risk??
All advice would be appreciated!!

welcome mate
a 9k budget should be plenty for a good classic
I would be looking for a type r, late sti,rb5 for that money
Plenty around,take your time,look for lots of history and receipts
Try pistonheads,autotrader etc
maybe put some money aside for insurance?
cheers
