Not sure i understand your post.

Are you saying he has an MY00 uk turbo and 4k cash but wants a new car?

He should keep the classic. In the current climate he'll get sweet FA for it.

Once the dross has expired and market conditions are a bit more favourable, low mileage ones will command a premium! If he's only going to upgrade to another scooby it's not worth the hassle at present IMHO!

Keep the MY00 and spend the 4k on mods. Should see an easy 300bhp, along with some decent chassis and brake upgrades for that

Also cheaper tax on the MY00....

Totally agree. The current performance market position is a repeat of the 90s with Cosworths and the like. They went through the "image" thing then Ford knocked £6k from the new price. Many panicked and sold and lost thousands. The level headed held on and braved the storm. I sold mine for what I paid for it 4 years later. Decent ones are well sought after.

As others have already said......keep the classic and mod it for an awesome car, or go for the Type R.

He will need to mod any of the newage cars to make them feel like the classic he currently has.

why are people obsessed by the age of a vechical would he turn down a rs500 because of its age ? all the age means s when it was registered as most of them sit around for a couple of years there older allready lol .just mod the classic .and wack a private plate on think the classis was made up to a 51 plate ???

Without a dout

Keep the classic If he has had it a while he will know if it is a good motor

better the devil you know then the risk of something else that might need a 3k engine rebuild !!

classics 00 are the future and the <flame suit on> best looking Subaru

Why don't you offer £4k for Lady T's Blobeye STI? Sell the Classic, and with that money repair it.

El Cat

he works about 13 hours a say 7 days a week at present so im the man who runs around sorting stuff out for him!!
