Yes mate. I bought it off Rich for £3k, sold it for £4k, (I did spend a fair bit on it mind you) he sold it for £5k and now this bloke can't sell it. Mainly because it's not worth £5k.

I can't get over how sorry it looks. It was proper clean when I had it. Well, clean for a 100,000 mile 10 year old car.

Ahhhhhhh I remember, you loved that thing as did your son, burbling around the place.

That's better... even if for nothing else - you buy it for the plate.

Burble burble.... Yeeeeey !

Was out in this ra today.

 

[DaveDreads]

My craving for a Wagon has come back because of seeing what they look like in army/olive/nato green,
i'm not into shiny and detailed, but I am into the zombie apocalypse look.

Doesn't look too bad on a saloon either.

 

[imprezaworks]

That joes, Jim. Quick car at a guess?

No, not joes mate.

Joes is on the road now though, just getting run in.

Jim, thats lovely.
Is it a STI RA? I was watching this but the seller has ended it early.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-SUBA...k0AgiyrSeQpER5ulmdd9c%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

If i buy a classic are these the ones to buy or is the Type R also a good buy? I know nothing about scoobs but i want one.

I'm not Mr scoob but the ra is like the hardcore version and seems to be the more desirable. I've never really liked the type r's to be honest.

What's your budget?

Edit - the one in the pics is an ra running a 2.5 engine and looking to push towards 500bhp,

 

[Mr R.]

Hmmm, i cant do anything until my PH1 sells.

Once it does then id say about 7k.

 

[imprezaworks]

Not going to take long to sell your phase 1 tbh

7k would get you a good newage or an epic classic.

 

[imprezaworks]

Get the latter

 

[Mr R.]

Hopefully not mate, but im after top top money for it so it could take a while trying to find the right buyer.

So my biggest fear in buying a old classic scoob is rust, so im also thinking is it worth me buying something newer like a bug eye?
I got offered a JDM STI bugeye from a member on here with a deal on my PH1 but at the time i didn't want to sell my car.

I think he was after £7.5k for it, it was bloody nice. Wish i had now.

Found the old add for the car.

Jim your red car was epic, i loved it.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah I get you ref rust and they are older etc. a jdm bug sti in black would be nice.

 

[coleman]

Not liking the RCM style stickers on the RA above but apart from that it looks lovely.

Needs the rear lights replacing and Comp wheels.

 

[imprezaworks]

I went out in a type r a good few years back that wasn't running a hundred percent. Quickest car I've been in. The low gearing is immense

Classics in some of the links are dreadful looking now, havent ages well

P1 too much money?

Yes mate, id want a mint low miles car and they come with a premium.

I know what you are saying about the classics, i like them with no side sills tbh.

 

[imprezaworks]

I'd personally get a type r over the p1.

Dont go bug eye though, again awful looking

Blob eyes are nice, and with set of wheels like evil giraffe had.

 

[imprezaworks]

Some of the bugs are stunning tbh. Frayz on here for example, although that's a bit better than a standard car, lol

 

[Mr R.]

If i buy a classic then it will have to be something special, RA STI/type r as its only going to be a toy.
My main concern is rust, you know i like to make my cars mint and this will continue in a scooby.

 

[imprezaworks]

You can get mint classics. Jims mate joes is stunning, a real credit to him. If it's a toy has to be a classic, trust me.

 

[Stefan.]

Im not of fan of them full stop even frayz imo

 

[coleman]

The Bugeye is a bit like the Phase 1 172 for me, thought both looked dreadful when they first came out, but both have really grown on me.

 

[imprezaworks]

Everyone's different and all that. But that car is something else.

Me to mate, wish id bought this now.

[imprezaworks]

That was a car I was thinking of before, advertised on sn around the same time I was selling mine

 

[Mr R.]

Guys where else should i be looking for a scooby?
AT, PH and ebay ive done.

Seen that car in the flesh when I was at a Scoob club meet up here. It was absolutely beautiful and the guy that owned it regrets selling it to this day. He even wanted to buy it back.

Bugs are my absolute favourite scoob

As nice as that is, I think you'd be better with a low miles standard example and just bringing it up to showroom condition like what you've done with your Clio.

I'm sure I saw a Prodrive Bug for sale recently with 14k miles for 7-8k, I'll see if i can find a link now.

Adding link

Nice

 

[Mr R.]

That is perfect, just what im after.

How comes it hasn't sold yet if its so nice?
