Only when my brother bought a Calibra Turbo years ago, head gasket went a month after buying it and they didn't want anything to do with it until he got Trading Standards on their case

Seen the Scoobs they've got in there, they've been there a while I think Get it checked over thoroughly and make sure it's got a comprehensive warranty too

Havnt got a lot of cash, looking to PX my foz only 24,500 ish miles on it fssh from CVC, So when I saw them scoobs there I though I might get a cheap car.
But after getting some great advice I think I might give it a W I D E birth.

Cheers again.

i would avoid big style, i went into part ex mine, he offered me a £1000.

and whilst i was there a customer who bought a car from him only days before came in saying he had trouble, and there reply was that they must of done something, didnt check oil or something, cant quite remember.

so eithier buy one with plenty of info or go to a subaru garage, or even take a mate who knows alot about scoobys.

And has blown all his hair off too

His cars do tend to spend a lot of time on the forecourt though
