Hi all,
New to the forum and will be getting my first Scooby sometime next week. I'm going for a 2006 Hatchback in Black (Preferably) and seen this one.

Just wondering if anyone can give me some pointers and general opinion of the advert.
Thanks in Advance
Doug

Thanks mate, I'm thinking as it hasn't been modded it might fare better?

Could hope, but even the standard ones are prone to go, its a bit of a lottery, it could be ok, but there is always that chance.

Thanks for the link man. I got my heart set on the 2006 shape, I just like the front of it more! Ha! Even if it does blow up.
Would buying an extended warranty help cover my as* though if it does go wrong?
I started my investigations into scoobies reading that they were indestructible but now all I'm reading about is horror stories with engines!

I bought a hawk STi with a un-forged engine, it had 49k miles on when I bought it and I sold it with 61k miles with no problems, maybe I was lucky, I always had in the back of mind if the worse happened I would just have to get the engine forged.
