Hey y'all

The wife and I are going to look at our first scooby on sunday with a view to buying it. Its a 04 plate wagon with prodrive in blue. 80k with fsh and 12 months mot.

We are gonna swap our shogun for it if the deals right.

I have always had a fastish car but now we have 2 slow diesels and im itching to get a quickie again.

Call it a mid life crisis. We have a 4 year old now so I am hoping the wagon will be good for our family car.

Am i right that cambelt was at 50k?

Any other advice before we go to see it?

Cheers.

Personally I'd do cambelt at 40,000 but that's just me. There are plenty of guides on here for buying a scoob, so there's no point in relisting everything that's already been said - do a quick search for "buying guide"
Also try scoobypedia.
Best of luck

I'll add my standard warning to remember they do rust, so have a good look underneath, especially if the undertrays are still intact at the front, as they can hide any rot very effectively.

Given the age, it shouldn't be too bad though.
