see thats my problem.
I've wanted a scooby for over 10 years yet i can't seem to find a decent standard car.
And the only decent ones are the horrible boggle eyed versions :|
If you are thinking of getting one then you should (IMO) get a Jap import no question about it.
Lets face it, you don't buy a scooby to have a leisurly drive in the country with your gran....you buy it cause you want to have that bum squeeking feeling of holy shit I cant believe I have this much power (for the price you've paid).
For that reaosn alone there is no match for the Jap imports and i'd say your more likely to stumble across a good one than a bad one.
I mean....people with Jap import Scooby's either bought it as an enthusiast (hence took great care of it) or they bought it as a young gun trying to be cool - and it aint hard to figure out from meeting the owner which one they are.
The link you posted first does seem a little off tilt front on and may suggest a wing accident that has been repaired cheaply and not particularly well.....on the other hand the link for the othe scooby that someone posted looks very good and the lack of details provided in the advert normally to me suggests confidence that the car can sell itself and that they have the knowledge when you meet them to explain everything.....thats the kind of Scooby you want to buy if your gonna get one!
With a Kia your buying a piece of shit.....end of.
With a BMW your buying a machine.....a well oiled machine.
With a Scooby your not just buying a car.....your buying a past time or a hobby......the owners are just as informative as the way the front bumper or any other part of the car may at first appear!
Good luck with your search!
