Default What car do I need

Hello I have taught alot of you so am after some advice.
I am going to buy one but dont know enough about them, never owned one but obviously driven hundreads but never pay attention to what I am in.

I obviously fancy the rear biased models and as my usuall car is a 300bhp elise I would want a bit of go aswell.

But its not going to be hammered around the cct allday so can be std ish for reliabilaty as its going to do alot of road miles.

Cheers in advance from Andrew Walsh the mad welsh man that teaches on the carlimits.com days.

I dont want big livery stuff all over it.
Dont want too old so over 5k but could buy new.
I know it will upset a few on here but I might end up with an evo.
Is there a list of what models there were with service costs ect been trying to search the site but not found it so far, better at driving than web stuff.

Andy

Been on one of your days

You really one with DCCD

JDM Classic MY99-00 Type RA or Type R with DCCD. £5K-£10K

Heaveir Newage MY01-2007 STi JDM's are best spec's as STD they had DCCD from MY02 £8K-20K

UK newage DCCD wasn't fitted as STD to STi untill 2005 model (except 2004 WR1) £10-24K

Looking at £27-31K for a new one and £40K for a Type 25

IMHO

Tony
