u can get a good 1 for 4k at the import auctions in manchester then about 500 to get it legal and registered. my mate paid 3.5k for an Lreg he has since blown it up rebuilding it himself is costing around 2k for a garage to do the work ur lookinh at about3.5-4k

*awaits Nismo's long speech*

Sell your Scooby and buy a C reg Ford Fiesta 1.1 Pop if your after cheap and affordable.. that way you dont give a toss if it blows up..

or alternatively keep the scooby till youc an afford something better and newer!

Also the scoob probably feels like a bottom less pit at the moment coz your getting it right...once you have everything done then it wont seem as bad...

To add to that...get a cheap £500 runabout and keep the scooby for weekend use...

It will work out cheaper over the year paying the 2 lots of insurance etc than putting miles on the scooby

If the Scooby is expensive to run, don't get an RX7!
