how old are you mate insurances plays a massive part in what typre u can get.. i ended up with a 2.0 sport as i cudnt insure anything else being 18... im more than happy with it not a rapid thing but feels nice drives nice and still looks the part!

 

iam 25 an also iam classed as a professional driver so insurance should be ive already got some decent quotes for the odd scooby thats catching eye

 

Get yourself to TOTB, see how much Scoobies get thrashed, then decide if you are willing to risk £3k on a dog.

If I were you, I'd wait until you can add a couple of grand to that and get a nice one

Don't get me wrong, there are probably some very nice early Scoobs, but there will also be a lot of ****e...

 

You'll find that you wont get a decent Turbo, even an early one for £3K - most in good condition sell for at least £4.5 - £5 even for stuff on L and M plates.

When I was looking top buy I went to see quite a few cheaper cars, and nearly all were rough, high mileage with no history, or had been 'home modded'

Would agree with the advice above, save up another couple of grand and you'll start getting the choice of decent early cars with FSH, lower mileage etc...
