Hi all,
Not currently a scooby owner, however have been offered one as part of a deal in part ex for my current car. It is a imported 94 spec WRX. Now at first I was told it had some "minor overheating problems" which sounded to me like the headgasket had gone, and sure enough after getting the guy to check over a few things, and eventually taken it to a mechanic, showed that yes 1 of the headgaskets had gone. He then dropped the price and still wanted to go ahead with a deal, I spoke to a few scooby specialists, and found out that when these go, shortly after the bottom end can start to go. Was quoted around the 1.5k mark to have these sorted. I declined his offer and a little later he has offered it as £800 and the rest cash for my car, so basically a scooby for £800. I was wondering if anyone in the area knows of a place locally (or more local than the specialists in Cornwall and Birmingham) that will either sort this for a good price, or if I source another engine, who could swap them over for me again for a good price? Possibly any members on here who could do that sort of thing?
Thanks, and great to be here!
James
