i sold my scoob,had a few other cars,pulsar ect and got an m3 and wouldnt look back.i steered clear of the evo because of the said vanos problems and got the 3 litre single vanos "bombproof" engine.286bhp right out the packet with no turbo to wory about?as for the servicing,in my opinion,if you buy a 5-10 year old car,you would be far cheaper servicing it your self and forgetting the stamps,wont make much difference when come to sell and you will save hundreds every service.they aint as quick as a modded scoob but you wont break it.
