Thank you all once again. I pick up my slightly used Greenline on Monday, and I can't wait. Everyone at DM Keith Skoda in Leeds have been amazing. Very friendly, helpful and not once pushy for a sale. Liam in sales and Scott in finance are top chaps, and would recommend to everyone if looking for new or used cars, to go there.

Sure this one hasn't done 1 miles as advertised! Thanks for the other ones though http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201304126230267/sort/default/usedcars/price-from/7000/price-to/11000/fuel-type/diesel/maximum-mileage/up_to_10000_miles/model/fabia/make/skoda/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/radius/60/page/1/postcode/ls226jz?logcode=p

I have found a Greenline estate, 12 plate with 13k on the clock, £10,400 or 1.6 diesel fabia 12 plate 6k miles, at same price. If either dealer wants to come down on price, think I might be happy!! Think either would be good for my driving, if I can extend the warranty (think it goes with RAC) for another couple of years, should be sorted. If both had just one owner, then both had a good bedding in period, with a good warranty still on them. Greenline may sway it, but will need to have a run out in the 1.6

My gut is saying the Greenline, it's just that little warranty left. I know I can add another couple of years, but this next car purchase we will keep it for 6-8 years, so don't want any costly surprises!

Thank you all for your comments, very useful. Not sure I can stretch for a new Greenline, but will try get more info on the used one, extend the warranty, and get say £1k knocked off! Other than that, may have to pick the 1.6 diesel instead, but test driven both this Greenline, and the 1.2 petrol, but not for 1 hour! Took a little getting used to as never had a diesel before.

Sorry forgot to say, Greenline 61 plate, 5,000 miles at approx £9,995

Can anyone out there help me make a final decision on a car? It will be my first Skoda, and it will be mostly motorway miles, 40 mile round trip daily commute. Approx 15,000 miles a year. It will be a Fabia either the basic 1.2 petrol se model new, at the special deal under £9,000 or been offered a Fabia Greenline 1.2 diesel. Come on, help me out! Never had a diesel before, test driven both and both good for my needs.
