Default Scooby Wanted

I am looking for a Scooby to replace my Alfa 145 2.0 Cloverleaf. I have run a series of P1s, STIs and Evos over the past 5 years but have recently moved to a very expensive house and want to good reliable Impreza for day to day travelling, which is c500 miles a week. As you can imagine putting this sort of mileage on a £20k / £25k car is not economical!

I have a budget of £6k to £8k. I would like 280 bhp plus, imports are fine, colours preferred, sonic/WR blue, black, white or silver. I don't mind sensible mods and would ideally like 18s (gold), a decent exhaust and decat, ideally TSL firestorm, Blitz NS or similiar. Knocklink, Gauges and tints all well received as long as tints are limited to back windows only, darker the better. 2 door is fine, but I see Type Rs and P1s are commanding prices slightly too high for me. Mileage is not that important, but see below.

The car must have a good history, full if UK and I will want HPI clearance and a independant check carried out by a Subaru specialist before purchase. I need 100% reliability and so history and total evidence of a good home are essential for me. No PX involved, straight cash deal.

Will travel, but live in weston-s-mare, so South West area is prefered, but for the right car I would travel to most places.

Anything out there??

great responses - thanks to everyone who has replied. Scoobynet (and MLR) seem to have this forum business sussed, unlike clio sport who spend all their time slagging everyone off who dosn't own a Clio Sport!!

i will try to get round to all of you, but apoligises if i miss someone out.

avalaugh - your car does look perfect - i am seeing a local sti v5 on Monday, but I may get back to you on this. You say you may px. I do have car available, not sure if you would be interested though as this was always going to be cash only. Its a 1998 Alfa 145 2l Cloverleaf, 96000 miles in black, total Alfa / specialist service, good condition, just had 96000 service, new tyres, pads and disks. Totally underrated car - goes like stink and sounds amazing. Had a bit of fun with a bugeye last week, and not as much in it as you would think. PM if interested.
