Newb!
Hi peeps, though i'd say hello. Normally on passionford but i've been steered over here!
Might be looking to turn to the dark side and buy a scoob, they're not bad cars and I could do with a change from cossies
After some buying advice really, what to look for/what to avoid. I know **** all about flat four engines so need to learn!
Only got about £2000 to spend so want to avoid buying a pup if I can, Cheers

£2k you say? mmmm stick to fords. lol
Just like passionford all the info you need is within the forum so just hang around and do as much reading up as possible and you will have a reasonable idea of what you want.

Welcome to the forum and thank god you've woken up and smelt the roses and decided to buy a decent make motor 
lol
For two grand you can actually get a decent example of a classic shape (K to X reg i think they go upto)
I paid only £1800 last year (before the credit crunch!) for a mint p reg wrx and it never let me down, now you can probs still get a decent one at that price good luck anyway

£2000 I am sure you will find a good buy even more so as the *** has fell out of Subaru's because of the recession. Theres a guy on here who can't even get 1k for a Subaru wrx wagon that looks ok imho

Davey, another ex Ford man here!
I've not even had my classic a month yet, but it's a great car. For £2 k you can get a reasonable car, largely depends on how new you want to go, and if you want a UK or import model. If you are used to Cossies, you'll know you need to look, look and look again. There is some complete **** out there, and a few nice cars dotted around. (Just like Cossies!) Good luck with the search!

I've still got an 88 RST'd cabby thats getting a zvh running on weber L8, thats gonna be for sale when its done to fund the scoob I reckon.
Still got a cossie powered track toy that'll stop me wanting another saph.
Looks a good site and plenty of info on here
Just gotta look at loads of them!

Hello mate and welcome over.
As some have said already due to the credit crunch your be able to get a nice motor as it stands at present. Also like anytime you buy a second hand motor just be a little bit savy when looking at a motor or ask someone who is close to you on here if they wouldn't mind taking a look for you for piece of mind etc.
I was tempted to go the other a couple of months ago for a L-reg Escort Cossie as my friend is on passionford (goes by the name of Charlie Luciano I think on there?) and many other ford sites. But I've stuck to my beast at the mo.
Got luck with the hunting mate and welcome again.
