Looking to be a scooby, but getting confused with all the different models, variants, jap/uk etc etc.

for that money you will get a newer style (bug eye) UK model
Usual things apply.... service hist etc
Unusal things... fucked gear boxes/4wd etc etc...
Best to go on http://www.scoobynet.co.uk for a look round, they are quite helpfull
PS... i'd prob go for a standard, or Prodrive/dealer installed PPP's one
But id buy a fast as fuck 300+ bhp WRX STi RA for 4k

Uk ones aren't worth buying IMO get yourself an import, more bhp etc Get a nice Type R classic for that kind of muller - way better than any UK version

real life 300+ bhp...... low to mid 12 1/4's out of the box
Have to agree with Nik..... The R or RA is the one to get
RA just happens to be a hell of alot more value for money

Good man As I say if your buying a jap supercar you might as well get the all signing/dancing one I'd go for a Type R 5/6 and chuck a couple of k at the engine Real weekend toy then

Yeah 15k will get a half decent 6, although some are falling are £13500-£14 for an early 6 (T plater) just get one with under 35k miles, proper full service history and your laughing. Personally I'd much prefer an Evo, it is a better car - I deal with both and would only have an Evo as my own car If you want to be bored shotless with Evo talk add me to msn
