Obvious problems I can think of with newage scoobs

rear suspension knocking and needing replacing (had it go on 2 out of 3 of my newages)

Batterys are sheet (had it go on 1 out of 3 of my newages)

Black STIs are slow....

It appears very well looked after...

Has to be another black one, will be good to see another one on the school run.

The only problems Marty has had on his one is the suspension which as trevor mentioned needed replacing, hopefully the blokes already done this.

Its a lovely looking car, you should go for it.

as much as i hate myself for saying it, that's a bit overpriced (if it's a private sale) does look great though.

have you had a look around pistonheads for something a bit nearer? i'm not sure of numbers of black ones around but i didn't think it was a rare colour? just thinking about saving you a long trip

i had to travel to chorley to get mine (250 miles each way damn long day that one) but there was only 5 in the country at that time so it had to be done

as for common probs, trevor has pretty much covered it. knocking struts is about it only other bit of advice i would give if you do get it and it's got the REO70 bridgestones on is take is easy if it's a cold damp day, they're not as grippy as they should be in those conditions. not dangerous, but these tyres are so good in the dry that it can catch you out this time of year.

It does seem a bit pricey but I am hopeing the guy will knock a few quid off , any idea's as to wat it may be worth? , I was thinking around 13.5k?

they're taking a hammering to be honest, i think you'll get it for a chunk less than that.

put it this way, if someone came to my front door and waved 12k in front of me they'd be driving off in a white sti

[imprezyou]

Thanks I will make some more price enquires tomorrow , if I buy and save a heap then a big round of drinks at the next meet next month 4 all , a promise.

"I was thinking around 13.5k? "

I paid less than that a few months back for my 05 STI PPP with £9k mods with only 8800 on the clock, tax mot etc so possibly room for more? Looking at the market it doesnt seem strong so really depends whether he needs to shift it quick or not... same with your BM mind so it works both ways...

But looks like a nice 'base' car for your usual 'uprating'... haha

Bearing in mind Trevors car, I think that £11k could be a good starting piont. Thats a lot of CASH to say NO to.

Trade is around £9750 at the moment. But as has already been said it does have a nice shine to it, good luck.

iirc I remapped Zip Daves previous newage sti.. not this one.. he worked from home and therefore did few miles and seemed a nice guy..
