Special edition? I'm not convinced.

Browsing autotrader.co.uk, as you do, and came across this

Special edition? I wouldn't buy it, that's for sure.

Clearly didn't like the beautiful black SE seats, so had them replaced by the bog standard vRS version

As you would

Also missing tints too, keeps popping up, isn't a real one iirc

[Brianpilman]

It was one once but stripped or all the extras by a idiot who previously owned it

And yet sellers still persist in passing it off as one

Be interesting to see what the logbook says, or the chassis number

It's been with the same seller for ages now. I hope someone doesn't buy it without knowing

Are you sure as the rear glass would have to be swapped with standard as it isn't just tint film

I thought it might of had a respray to make it look like one possibly?

[SKYHAWK]

just mailed the seller this

 

just to let you know if you don't already u've been stung with this car a se has full leather and rear tinted glass someone along the line stripped the se goodies from it

That was one of the possible explanations discussed when it's cropped before

Just done that :P

[burno20v]

It's been for sale for months and months,started at £5495....

[mattbvRS]

Madness. How can they even sell it as an SE when it's had everything that made it an SE removed bar the paint lol. 

 

Think it'll be sat there for a long while! 

[sepulchrave]

It looks like a boggo VRS that has had an SE style respray. It's even wet in the pictures to hide the paintwork because it probably isn't perfect.

[Brianpilman]

All I remember is picture of it with a silver vrs in the background with tinted rear glass and what looked like dark headrests so guessing at leather interior

[wja96]

As has already been posted, the online checks show it as a Fabia vRS SE, so it IS an SE. I can understand getting rid of the privacy glass as that's just hard to see out of while reversing at night and if someone offered good money for the interior (or it got damaged) I could understand why it might get replaced with a standard interior.

It again just re-inforces the nonsensical prices these things command. This is a 7-year old car that cost £13000 new. Nothing in the used car market is holding value like that.

[Brimma]

It's hardly 'privacy glass' in a standard car, it's not like it's an aftermarket tint, so if people have a problem seeing out of it at night they really shouldn't be driving at night

Whatever the explanation is it's all very. very odd

[sepulchrave]

Where?

[hutchysrs50]

Checked myself now, it is a genuine SE

[mattbvRS]

I hope someone doesn't buy it without realising! It's been ruined, that's actually worse than modifying it in my eyes, they've mutilated it! 

Wonder if they've ripped out the cruise control too lol.
