[tannan]

[tannan]

i have just got in tuch with SG Car Sales .

gutted its a ra made to look like a p1 num 255 lte .

what do you lot think shall i still go and look at it .

12g its up for.

but its not a uk p1.

[matfitzpatrick]

dont think they are much more to run than your UK Turbo mate....they are pretty much the same car, except 2 doors some different body bits and maybe a few extra horsies.....service intervals are 7,500 or 6 months and are no worse than usual price wise......you may pay a slight premium as they are ltd in numbers, other than that should be about the same.......insurance may be a bit more as they are group 20 tho, and you should get about 250miles to a tank of SUL (not sure how that compares to a UK turbo?)......

[stormy]

Walk away, you will find a real one, if you need some one to pick faults Ill come with you. Fussy devil me. I Looked at loads before I found a decent one.

[tannan]

Of course you can mate, feel free to have a nose about and all that.....can take it for a spin to if you like (not literally tho I hope!! ...)

[GaryS]

ooh..oooh...can we all have a go, mister

Sean, the only converted "anything" that will be like a P1 would be an STi type R Version 5 (the P1 base car)

good luck mate, really nice cars (but you all know that)

[stormy]

No not my old one think the new owner wont be letting that go any where for a while. funny to see my old car at the fireworks, big lump in throat. Still went for a blast on Sunday and Im warming to my new one.

Less miles than mine mate.....sounds pretty good to me.......I was lucky enough to get 12 months warranty with mine, which I will be extending for another 24months in Jan. If you can get warranty then go for it. I think you can extend after the initial 3 years for another 2/3 years?

Has she said ok because she feels guilty about what she did to your car mate??

[tannan]

if i do it i will get warranty or i will not bye the car .

as this will put me to my limits.so i will need to be aball to sleep at night.

i will need to get gap inc as well

[p3dro]

Sounds promising Sean

Subaru Proven warranty is available after the initial period, think they wanted £400 and odd to renew mine last month and its a MY00 but I didn't go for it cos of the mods. Don't spose you wil be doing too many to a P1 tho'

[tannan]

i dont no what to do as if i keep my uk 2000 i can mod it if i get a p1 i cant .

but i want one

[p3dro]

do you really need to mod a P1, thats a serious Q, don't know that much about them?
