Err..Bit new to this whole Scooby concept being an ex-Lotus Elan SE owner...but...
I'm after a good UK Turbo , sub 40k miles, preferably on an "R" plate or newer...97 car would be ok, but obviously a 98 would be better...Colour pretty unimportant - No beige cars tho'!
So far, much searching has resulted in a Main Dealer 97 "R" 40k FSH , for £11995 with a years warranty...Are there any better deals out there in private sale land? (Might consider an import , but only an STI - Might as well go the full hog!)
Ta!
Ross.
--------------------
Erm, probably worth adding that it's a 4 door I'm after - I don't have a p/x - Just cash to burn, and a budget of £12k ish...There's gotta be one out there? Is there?

Ross,
Like you....What do I go for ?
Looked at UK ones, std WRX, but after a drive of a STI....
I purchased a 98 S 5door 32,000 miles £14,200
ex-owner imported it new (well at 1,000 miles).
So much better than the UK ones ....
Life begins at 300bhp ...

JB,
If you are after an RB5 soon I'm looking to sell mine, in full WR trim, in the coming months. If you are interested mail me offline for a discussion. Just to add bait to the hook my best mate lives in Helensburgh so showing you the car would also allow me to have a weekend playing golf and drinking.

JB,
Here's the spec:
"V" plate with 14,000 miles and full history, last service was 3 weeks ago. Full Prodrive conversion from new with high rear spoiler, air con, quickshift, unmarked 17" anthracite wheels with good P-Zero's, CAT1 alarm system, RB5 carpets and the engine upgrade to 237bhp and 258lbs of torque. I have also had a Sony 10 stack CD / Radio / Cassette system fitted professionally which would be included, I may even have the original lying around somewhere.
Cheapest at a dealers with this mileage is £22k, and some go as high as £23.5k. I'd be looking for £20k and could be a little flexible if necessary

Thanks guys , but I believe my search could be over...Subject to a once over at Scoobysport and MOT - For which I foresee no problems...I have found an ideal car...
Life does begin at 300bhp...Especially when its in a tuned WRX STI V4 Type R...
Thanks for everyones replies and e-mail!
