Spaceman Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Heres some good news fo you chloe im only 21 got my scooby in november when i was 20 its a 55 plate wrx swrt and ma insureance on it is 1000 for a year on ma own 2 years no claims, try elephant and bell direct they seem to like us younger scooby drivers, bad bit whatever you budget for petrol double it just to be safe i can`t get over how much i use. I think there might be a problem wi ma accelerator every time i hit a quiet strach of road it seems to hit the floor followed by a pppptsssssssschhh lol It is the best thing in the world getting one of these cars.
fast-bits-chloe Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 Thank you spaceman, that all sounds a bit more encouraging !! Haha !!!!!! Petrol consumption, I dread too think, and I'm SURE there must be a fault with your excelerator !! lol

Thanks for the welcome btw
wrxmania Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Oh - and I'm from West Lothian too. Here is my car:
fast-bits-chloe Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 WRXMANIA oh what a stunner !!! Where about in West Lothian, I'm from Bathgate ........ do you go to the meets ???
wrxmania Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Yes - I will be at the West Lothian meet next week - come along and meet us - one day you will hopefully be driving your Impreza to the meets. A Sport is a very good first buy (just been reading the numerous replies) but insurance will be the only real saving (BIG saving) as fuel is not much different. Had a 55 plate 2.0GX Sport as a courtesy car from Ian Grieve Subaru in Falkirk and it was very good fun and relaxing and quiet when you need it to be too, but not much more economical than mine Most Subaru owners get roughly 200ish miles for £40 worth of Optimax, so not exactly economical, but not bad for the car. I reckon you could get, driving lightly around 300 miles for £40 in the Sport, maybe more. Good luck. Brian
fast-bits-chloe Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks Brian, well I'm going to the next meet, so I'll see you all there !! It's not the buying the car as said before, it's gonna be the upkeep. It's my dream tho and I'm sure if I cut back on the nights out at the weekends I'll just about manage. Just don't want the pleasure of it taken away from me if I'm struggling to keep it on the road !!!!
colinj Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 It was the expense running the thing that was the deciding factor in the fate of mine!! How many miles do you do in a week on average????? I'll try & give you some idea of the cost of upkeep!!!
scoobyseller555 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Welcome Chloe-i sell scoobs for a living(what a job eh)several of my young customers find elephant or bell direct the cheapest for insurance,in terms of day to day running costs i.e. fuel there is very little difference in real terms between a sport and a turbo(ruby will tell you about economy in a sport-not!)with your budget you would be looking at a much newer sport,new age bug-eye car!It tends to be a minefield out there so a dealer is always going to give you the most comeback(ANY DEALERSHIP).Ive owned imprezas for the past ten years,advice,buy 1,as you wont regret it,even if it is a sport,its a starting point,and at least when your budget allows you can trade up.......dont waste time on here get yourself out and buy one......NOW!!! Gav

ScoobyAndy Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Morning Chloe. Was just haveing a wee nosey through the auto trader website and for a nice looking 2001 sport for you. Try here (its on page 2)... Milnathort motor company Andy
UK300_Impreza Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 That the GX, Make sure its had the 50,000 Service. Does the cambelt have to be done at 50,000 on the GX if so your looking at an expensive 50.000 service on that car looks mint though
