Default where to buy a scooby from?

i'm on the hunt for a Scooby, ideally Classic V5/V6 MUST be BLUE or RED or BLACK, low miles and standard-ish has be an STi, or something fancy like a Type RA. Got no more than 5k to spend (ok i know its not alot) (and ok i don't have the money yet, but hopefully at the end of the month) but i'm running out of ideas of where to look, done PH, autotrader, on here, and a couple of other sites, but i just can't find one i like!

Am i asking for too much? lol

Cheers in advance :-)

Blue, yes, red, not a chance (they didnt make red STI's in MY99/00 guise), black, very rare, cool grey (the best colour ) yup, white, yes.

I would look through pistonheads tbh.

I would look at this one, not many low mileage examples for 5k, though you could try to haggle him down a little and the car will need checking over (and they will push out a little over the 280ps if they run octane booster, maybe 280-290bhp but not much more).
Look at checking the maf too, and cool grey is one of the (if not THE) nicest colours on these cars
Look at a remap also and a KS3, it all adds up money wise but low mileage version 5 STI's are very rare.
Check for the rear fog and speedo conversion (esure its not restricted to 112mph) as some of these just get "mot'd" where as they are still suppose to be converted to run in the UK (and make sure the tyres are UK legal!!)

Might be worth dropping David at API a call he normally has cars kicking around or will know If any customers are selling up.

Worth a call IMO

Also just hold out look on here and pistonheads
