It's the insurance prices you need to be worried about. I couldn't find any insurance company that would take me on for less than £2500!!! (I was 22 when I took the insurance out, and the Scoob is my first car).

Depends on what other monetary factors you have to think about too (House, pets . . . . wife 
).
If you aren't too stretched already, then theres nothing to stop you . . . do it . . . . do it now !
Just make sure you understand everything that comes with it like servicing costs, daily running costs, petrol (
), mods
Have a read about on here and you'll soon see what sort of additional costs you can expect.
But above all, remember . . . .
A Scoobs for life, not just for Christmas

DJ Dunk,
How true, but remember, I may have said I couldn't find insurance for under £2500...but it didn't stop me buying a Scoob anyway. Damn these cars are addictive!

I'm an engineering student. I pay about 1500 quid a month. I've heard of stories though where younger scoobs drivers pay less than me. But then again, I do have a jap import..

92 WRX. But thats probably because I told my insurance companies that I'm putting/have put some mods in it. In a few days time I'll be joining the 1337 Dawes club courtesy of Jamie. Oh and I'm only 24.
oops, I meant a year.
