Hi guys,

Not been on here for a good while now, due to not having a scoob,lol

Iv currently got a mk5 r32 which is a great car and very comfy and well specked but im getting the flat4 turbo itch again

Iv had 3 imprezas before so i know what there all about but i was just wondering what i could get for my money in todays market? And what you guys would recommend.

Il have up to 9k to spend.

Thanks,Jamie

With that budget you are looking at an early classic up to a hawkeye sti, depending which you go for would determine what spec you could get.

Do you know what your after, which model floats your boat, are you after a high spec'd weekend car or a nicely tweaked everyday car

With that kind of money you can get a Hatch WRX with low miles and even some tuning done on it, or I have seen a Hatch STI for not much more than what you have.
As has already been said you can get a newage saloon wrx or sti blob or hawk eye it really depends on spec you want WRX, STI, JDM and if you are bothered by high mileage or not.

What do you think of the R32?

Funny, I'm just thinking of coming back to Scoobs too, and the only other car I have seriously been thinking about is a MK5 R32 .

2008/9 Sti hatch is looking likely for me though - think I'll get winter out of the way and then get myself one

A few good pointers on R32s here https://www.scoobynet.com/other-marq...-golf-r32.html

There is a hawk Sti for sale for £6500 in the cars for sale section, looks a nice motor too especially at that price IMO

Yes im deffo after a new age proberley a late sti blob of some kind,
i prefere the look of the hawk eye but not the big tax bill and the horror stories of the engines.

The R32 is a good car, quite quick,very well made and very comfy and well kitted out.
just really fancy a proper 4wd turbo again.

Choices,Choices.lol.

Well if your ideally after a Blob you will have lots to choose from. With that money a late widetrack model will be available with reasonable mileage likely to be in the 30-40 thousand. It is possible if your in no hurry to buy to hold out watch what is for sale and eventually you will find a "55" plate hawk where you havent got the huge tax bill.
Regular checks on auto trader an pistonheads is a good place to start although I am sure there will be more choice in the new year unless you get someone needing to sell prior to Xmas

My last Scoob was a 54 plate 05 model (wide track) in Crystal Grey - had a few choice mods - remap, de-spoilered, carbon brake ducts, coil-overs, anthracite wheels, etc etc etc.

Loved it and was sad to see it go really.

Just feeling the need again lol
