Cool

I am looking to buy a car for under £5k.

I know this is well under the normal ScoobyNet budget, but I am currently getting screwed by an ex so have severe lack of funds.

Any older Imprezas for around the £5K mark would be crackin!

I have been looking at others too such as Fiat Coupes, and Toyota Celicas, but am open to any sensible suggestions and information.

Cheers

I'm from Wallsend, but work in Blaydon, thats where I am at the minute.

Just rang a bloke selling a Fiat Coupe 2.0 16v.

Extra high miles (180K) but got full service history, N reg, selling it for £3k...

Whatcha reckon?

I live in Sunny Ashington,
I like Fait Coupes but the miles is really high for an N reg
I would keep looking if I was you or you may spend more money keeping it on the road than you should.

Aye, I am getting that feeling from a few people, it's just cos I am getting shafted off my lass for quite a bit of cash, plus everything in my house, so I have to start again, and the less I spend the better!

I have a 2.0 Vectra SRI, but some tw*t crashed into me on Thursday and I obviously don't really want the car back!

I'm getting bad feelings about Calibras from a few lads at work.

He's had a crackin Scooby and now owns a Lotus 340R, so he sort of knows his cars!

Hey ho, I'll see how it goes...
