3.5k just for the car or insurance too? or is insurance not a problem? ;p

[Bobminda]

She sold hers for 3.5k to a racing instructor based at brans

never been so scared whilst he was taking it for a test drive, you dont expect someone to hit the rev limiter in 1st 2nd and 3rd on a test drive !!

Nice guy thou, he took some pics for my other half as she was gutted selling it

williams meh!

Scoobys and evos need a lot of looking after that age and money you'll be buying a dog.

older turbos :S ummmmm i wouldnt your call tho.

You want something funn, get a clio 172 phs1 2k for a good un and then 1k on mods :D have some funn DONT GET A PHS 2

[Bobminda]

Scoob is the way forward !

Ive had both and wayyyyyyyyyyyy prefer the scoob over a clio (Far more fun)

you'll need near 4k for you want a good classic, Managed to get 5400 last year for mine

my old Clio

my old Scoob

HOW I MISS HER :cry: :cry:

[Rexy]

phs 2's are **** tho lol

I prefer my phs1 over my wrx atm the phs1 was a bloody hooot.

[Balley]

carlton GSI or mk1 astra with something good in it

[Rickardo]

You won't get a decent mk1 for that money, there like rocking horse poo. My bro has one and a few mate's. Cheapest for £5K. :eek:

[Jack]

You'll get a decent ST205 for that money. Easy to bring over Impreza/Evo power, much much much cheaper insurance, and not a common-as-turd chavmobile either lol

Whats that? You need a picture? Oh go on then lol

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/razorjack/CCUK/2008_07_27a1.jpg

[twistysnovagte]

there is a few cavalier turbos on PH's, that would be my car of choice at that money.
always wanted one too.
although ive always wanted a sapphire cossie

[Bobminda]

Whats that? You need a picture? Oh go on then lol

Lovly pic .... has it had any photoshoping ??

[Jack]

No, HDR'ed though

[Bobminda]

No, HDR'ed though

Whats that ?

Puts my camera skills to shame

[Stuart]

£3.5K = some sort of 3litre Derv Beemer or a MK4 astra turbo coupe

[Stuart]

HDR = makes you look good but still cheating lol

HAHA SD1 V8..i'll let people clicky to find out what it's in :P

[dj_wudgey]

nope wrong anser new cars are f*cking ****!!! go get something old school and rwd like a chevette manta ect ect!!!!

if your wanting 4wheel drive though id say go for a pulsar (sunny) gtir!! or if you can find one a mazda 323 turbo uber rare but very nice!!!

[Adam]

Why not a ph2? They look so much better than the ph1!!!!

Also, you see plenty of old Impreza sti's/wrx's for 2-3k, they cant all be dogs surely????

[dj_wudgey]

HAHA SD1 V8..i'll let people clicky to find out what it's in :P

ad rather just have the rover sd1 with the engine in!!! my mate has one and its cool as f*ck!!!

[Jack]

Wanna bet? lol

[General Baxter]

nova gsi + c20let :)
not for £3k lol

you would be lucky to get a redtop gsi for that now lol

[Pistol Pete]

Newish, modern car FTW. Astra mk4 coupe/hatch turbo, a BMW of somekind, something from the VAG stable. IMO stay away from Evo 4's. Mate has one and has had to spend £££'s on it. A Scooby for that money will be a ****ter more than likely. And a Cav turbo....lol a you for real??

[BIGS]

I think this would be a better choice then a scooby ect

http://www.dragtimes.com/images/5523-1999-Mitsubishi-Galant.jpg

Go very well, understated and have good engines. Its one in plymouth with just over 700bhp :eek: and yes it goes

[Adam]

Pete58 speaks the truth

[Joe Richardson]

cav turbo FTW:thumb:

Find a nice one and you have yourself a mint car:)

[RJM25R]

If you need practicality and/or seat/doors,

Impreza Classic. I've got one and been uber-impressed.

And it's available for sale. . . . Right on your price bracket too. . .

http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126421

If you can live without seats and a roof, I'd buy a Robin Hood (Cheap Caterham style kit car) loads on Ebay/P/heads

I'm looking for a decent MK INdy at the mo (more expensive)

[L33 LEG]

depends what kind of car you want really

old car and fast : id be looking at scoobs. should get a decent mr2 turbo for that money. E36 m3, very cheap now. wouldnt touch an evo for that money though.

a car just for fun : surely you can find a nova let for 3.5k, if not then corsa let, crx, r5, etc.

but if you want something newer and more reliable then maybe a astra gsi (not sure how cheap these are now), 172/182, cant really think of anything cos i dont like new cars lol

[General Baxter]

should they really be worded together lol

iv had bowel movements that move faster lol

I'd sooner be nice to marland than consider a VAG car (unless its an A6 or bigger lol)

Cheers Stuart!

Any more ideas ? :d

Is it essential that it's this size of car? If so, maybe look into Audi Quattro A4s with the 1.8 turbo lump. It's not as quick as an evo etc but they are tuneable, well built and a bit more stealthy :thumb:

[saloon3]

you can have my old twin turbo toyota soarer for a grand and spend the rest on drink,women,petrol,etc

[dj_wudgey]

cav turbo FTW:thumb:

i agree matey!!

[Brettski]

cav tubby for the win dude
1. quick (modds depending)
2. look verry smart as standard
3. reasonably cheap to insure as a classic
4. lots of modern comforts ie leather seats and electric everything

jus a couple of plus poins only do think about the bad ones thow as folowed

1. rust isues arches chassie legs floor pans etc prone to rust
2. high mileage most have done around 120000 mile mark nowerdays
3. transfer boxs are prone to letting go. but there are cars out there fitted with vts locked transfer boxs and this will cure the problem
4. general wear and tear and car park dings and scratches

but i asure you if you finde a good one you will not be disapointed cavs are very cool and retro and are very comfertable to drive long distances or for daily use and am sure many people on here will agree with me :thumb:

Cheap and cheerful, tuneable as well. Iffy build on pre-2004, but then again it's bulletproof compared to scoob/evo

Good cars indeed. I have a standard Cupra, 180bhp 6 speed (not 210/225bhp)

http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt284/graphicgrafter/IMG_1397.jpg

If you want a wolf in sheeps clothing. Build quality seems fine, it's a mk4 gti mixed with an S3 for cheaper. Cupra's and Cupra R's are the same money for early models.
