im looking at doing a swap for this scooby. My bike is worth about £4000 maybe slightly more. what do you think is a reasonable price for the scooby assuming everything drives ok etc

personally mate I wouldnt do it, firstly its done 90'000 miles and with it being "chav' ed" up its going to be 90'000 hard miles and secondly any engine management light on is a massive no no instantly, no-cat = MOT faliure as well.

if you looking for a decent bugeye just stay patient and one will turn up at the right price/mileage for example about 2 months ago I looked at a 2002 02 reg WRX with 45k on the clock one owner from new unmolested standard for £4200 so i'd hold fire.

The engine light isn't on because of the decat as this would have been tut ned off at the remap stage, steer clear or use as leverage to reduce the price

A de-cat is not an MOT failure as long as the up pipe cat is in place (had no issues with both my MY 01 Bugeyes). Full de-cat will cause this.

CEL can be interrogated to find the fault. It could be a minor fault like the MAF.

Mileage is not an issue either as long as the service etc is full and in good order.

As for being "chave-ed up"............pish! take the lights off and fit what every you like.

But bargain hard, mileage, CEL should take at least a few hundred off.

It's your cash at the end of the day.

ok, thank's for the advice people, i think i shall steer clear n see if i can find a standard one at the right price. I know i should be looking for a standard one really, but you just cant help but want something sometimes

sorry didnt mean to upset everyone,

all i ment was obviously as most know the bugeye has 3 cats and personally i would take the description as de-catted meaning all 3 are gone (inc uppipe) and that is a MOT faliure you need at least 1 regardless of which one is there,

lets face it thats one of the first mods us people do remove the up-pipe. as with the chav-ing it up lighten up guys i was merely refering to the horrid lexus lights that most saxos, puntos and other rubbish cars also have, obviously consider it but for me it sounds quite expensive for over £4000 if it was £3200 though that would be a different kettle of fish
