Recommended Posts

Looking at purchasing a turbo 2000 for roughly 2k-3k. 

Is it worth purchasing one for this price? As in will it have been looked after etc

Service & Running costs?

Common problems?

Best/Cheapest insurance as the cheapest I can get is 2500 since Im 19?

Worth re-mapping and adding parts to one with an engine around 100k mark?

Cheers.

That budget is reasonable. Standard cars are thin on the ground now. That insurance I think is the best you'll get so avoid imports. Check with specialist insurers like flux and Kieth Micheals. Modifying a car on 100k miles could be fine. It all depends on the health and the life the cars had. I'm on 173k with a few mods and remap since April 2015 with no issues. Just bare in mind the insurance premium for a modified car. Services are frequent but in your best interest. I do an oil change every 3k miles. I average 25mpg with a combination of motorway and spirited b roads.

mid 20's :o your not trying hard enough,,,,,,,, hahahaha

 

Echo whats been said above, regular oil changes (3k), keep on top of servicing, if an issue arises don't try to drive through it, drive very gently and off boost and get it looked at, and if you decide to mod it then find a decent tuner and stick with them, you'll get varying opinions of who's good and bad so its a bit of a mine field
