im leaving rs turbo's soon and moving to cossies. gonna have a budget of £4500-5000 to spend, and think there are good cossies out there at that price.
it wont be my everyday car so if things do go wrong its not the end of the world.

i think people saying you need to spend 7k upwards for a good saff is silly, thats avarage 3door money not saff money.

but for 2-3k im afraid u wont even find a cossie, unless its got a blown engine or no m.o.t etc.

how old are you by the way? and what car do you drive right now? if you havnt got much experience with proper performance cars then i suggest you get an rs turbo for your 2-3k and enjoy that, they can be rapid things you know that can beat scoobys/evos like you want to.
