Advice Needed.

[ed-209]

Due to a major change of circumstances I need to chance my scooby to something that can take a wheelchair(not for me but for the wife) and must have softer ride. was looking at a civic type S still a little sporty. how much should I take for my scooby, it just under 3yrs old with 19500 miles full history I think I will have to remove the stereo system as it does not add to resale value.

I will still stay a paid up member of the sidc and will possibly by a classic to get my scooby fix.

Ed, sorry to hear of your change in circumstances mate

I would have thought £12-13k? for your 300

Any of the VW range of 2.0 PDi engines will give a good shove in the back torque wise and give a comfier ride than the Impreza into the bargain. You really need to buzz the Honda lump to get any kind of progress from it, the 2.2d is a good torquey number

Scoobyseller should be able to give you a rough idea of the price but bear in mind that yours is a bit more special than the book equivelent

Sorry to hear about this mate. Can't you stick the standard springs back on, or are they still too stiff? I have a set if you need them and I also have the standard stereo too if you want it to replace your good stuff.

All the best with it.

Ed - really sorry to hear this. Have you considered/enquired about a Motability car? I don't know the ins and outs of what's involved, but I know they were great and really helpful after my Dad had his stroke. They're certainly worth talking to and it might let you keep the Scoob. My folks now have a brand new Ford something sat in the drive (I did ask what model, but my Mum could only tell me it was silver! lol).

The downside is it's the first brand new car they've ever had and my Mum sticks to their old car as she's too afraid to drive the new one. Women!

Cheers guys, did look at motablity cars but you need to get higher rate for a least 3 years to run to qualify. so no go and also you never own the car. so after 3 years you hand the car back and start again but again you need another 3 years of higher rate.

I/we knew this was coming but as per normal was putting it off and fair play to the wife she let me have my fun(scooby wise), so it's the right thing to do and think of her for a couple of years, but as I said I will prob buy a classic in need of TLC as a scooby fix.
