They seem to have a few scoobies for sale, does anybody know of them/heard bad things/used them before ?

 

Avoid like the plague mate, they don't have the best rep locally

 

Cheers bud

 

Aylesbury street motors in MK right?

They got a good rep around here, they're not in Aylesbury so your probably confusing them with someone else.

I was recommended them by someone else so went down there last weekend. I couldn't work out a price for the car I wanted, but the cars seem top quality and they apparently have had new management in the past couple months, hence more scoobies.

Yeah I went to see the Range they have there.

I did make a cheeky offer but as they had it a while, thought it may be worth a shot! Lol

A couple friends recommended me there. All the cars seemed good. There was a couple scoobies I saw parked there as well, I mentioned how I used to have one and apparently the new management is trying to get some performance orientated stock in.


Was a good experience and as it would be in any other dealership really. They have AA approval which was sound enough for me to try and spend my ££ there. Apparently only limited numbers of dealerships get the AA approval so that speaks for itself I guess.

 

The guy seemed friendly enough on the phone, its this that I enquired about :

Mileage is a bit more than listed @ 65k, price doesn't seem too bad though the only thing that puts me off slightly is its had a decat and an uprated fuel pump. Just a long way to go for it to be a dog.

 

Price seems reasonable for the spec. I wouldn't personally have an issue with the decat/fuel pump as at least it would be getting the proper fuelling. The clutch is a good positive, and at least it had a Ecutek for the cat and fuel pump.
As long as the paperwork is there, it should be a safe bet. Only thing I would be planning for is a build though, wouldn't wanna take a 2.5 much over 70k without budgeting for a head gasket.

The car I saw was exactly as they told me on the phone, I think as they are under new management they seem to be pretty keen on the customer service side so doubt they will waste anyone's time.

If your travelling a distance, I would just clarify everything on the phone beforehand to ensure it's what your looking for.
With the sort of stock they have, I doubt they are gonna have any bad cars. It's only when dealers don't give info over the phone that I get worried.

 

Aye had budgeted for an API rebuild, there is a spec D local which i might take a look at too tomorrow. Can the STI wing be fitted to the Spec D without drilling any extra holes ?

 

I'm not sure on that tbh. I would guess it should do.

API rebuild would be perfect, spec D might work out better price wise, as the prices seem a little more reasonable for them. I actually prefer the leather interior in them as well!!

 

The leather doesn't overly bother me either tbh. Looking around there doesn't seem to be too much difference between a UK sti and the Spec D apart from the price. I was originally looking at buying one that's already forged but there isn't a lot about, so thinking about buying a low enough mileage one and having it forged at least that way I know it should last. The spec D just needs the big wing for me and its perfect.

 

Yeah a spec D does make sense ££ wise


I'm sure there is a grey UK STI in the classifieds already forged?
Oliver I think?



When I was thinking of getting back into one, I spoke to him about his.

It's fully forged and he wants around £10k Iirc.

That's really good value for money IMO. Especially already forged

 

Actually that one is sold now by the looks of his thread

But this looks great, perfect spec and mileage for a very reaosomable price IMO

Hadn't had the head studs done otherwise i would of bought it two weeks ago

Saw that a while ago, didn't bother to enquire though.

 

£10750 one is definitely a nice spec. I thjnk with that mileage as well you can't go wrong.

If you get a stock one with 50-60k for 9-10k, it will be a fair bit more after the rebuild. But not sure if he's still got that either, he hasn't bumped his thread in a while so maybe sold as well?
