Default £2500

How good of an S2 RS Turbo could I get for £2500-£3000? Absolute shitter? Good base for a project? Useable hack? Seen quite a few on the 'bay for that much buy it now but I'm wondering if these are worth it.

Thanks

A good usable one with good history and decent ish mods and rot free in the usual rst places expect to pay anywhere between £3k-5k imo
