Make sure you have money in the bank after buying it cos they DO cost you money in the ownership
Some good advice there. A stage 1 cossie is still a quick car for a 23 year old and should be very reliable IF you get it set up properly. You can drive them hard but don't abuse them and they can be reliable. I've had my stage 1 for nearly 2 years and it does get driven hard sometimes and it's never had anything go wrong (touch wood) except a new waterpump when the old one got noisy. Good luck
