CitigoAllen

Something not right looking about the car. Looks like the suspension is shot. With a clasiic you want it to be as original as possible.

My father recently traded in a car that had only one key. It was never mentioned and therefore made no difference. I do know that WE Buy Any Car will reduce their offer by a couple of Hundred if you only have one key.

The truth is that the west is so heavily involved with bashing the arabas because our strings are being pulled by a shadowy bunch of Zionist bankers if you are to believ the conspiracy theory nuts. It was never in the West's own interest to stir the hostility of the Islamic world, so I can see why it attracts the conspiracy theory types. The UK would be nuts to get involved with this.

That was a bargain. I prefer the styling of the Elegance, but for less than £9K with delivery miles I would have bought a Sport (if it was 5 door).

It is a hot air engine, which runs at a very slow speed, so not too noisey. The van is left a bit drafty however .

Interesting I had forgotten that, but the clutch slave cyclinder broke on my last Skoda (Mk 1 Octy vRS) as well. Maybe a weak item on Skoda cars?

Not criticising them, this is just personal taste. They look too high and narrow.

I think the metallic blue vRS looks fantastic. Would love one, but I think they are way over priced. Loads of other choices for £24K plus. I would buy one if it was £18K. TBH over £20K for a Skoda is rediculous.

Yes it is a pity that the Yeti has such a low nose weight limit (only 5KG better than the Mondeo). My Bailey Ranger had a higher nose weight than 80KG (about 95 if I remember) as delivered (minus any gas, or other belongings). Nearly everything had to be loaded into the end bathroom to get the nose weight to 75Kg).

Yes the petrol with be lighter, but you have a very light caravan.

Muholland had a Fabia inprimer gray in the show room. I thought it looked pants (but then I think all Fabia M2's are ugely).

why every time I quote do I get two copies???????

I am sure the monte carlo can he mapped to give the 130bhp that the mk1 vRS give????

Console yourself, the back hatch on the Up is aweful looking. Makes it look like a C1. At least the Citigo has a proper hatch door.

Here is a picture of the most extreme cravan mod I have ever seen. This was done to generate enough electricity to run his stereo when on sites with no electric hook up.

Here is a picture of my Carvan taken on a site in Cornwall. Sorry about the laundry LOL.

My carvan was a Bailey Ranger, which was the entry level series for Bailey. It was also a 2008 model, bought at Christmas when the 2011 models were already available, so I got a decent discount. Out first carvan fitted on our smaller side driveway, but the Bailey was too long, and was kept at my in-laws house, which has a full acre of grounds, so no stoarge. I wouldn't have bought one if I had to pay for storage. I never had to finance the caravan, it was only £10K (I earn just over £90K before tax per year).

I had a red Skoda in the past, it faded to pink very quickly. On the other hand my Dad has just traded a 9 year old Hyundai that was red and it was as vivid as it was the day he bought it. I just like balck. I have had two black Octavia cars and bought my wife a black Hyundai (car she had before her new Citigo). But as as BossFox points out, colour is a matter of taste. You could order a white Elegance Greentech, and get the balck wheels and a black stripe as options. That way you would have a higher spec car that gives better mpg and which avoids the rather 'colourful' interior but looks like a sport on the outside.

Yes that is my thoughts exactly. I know even plastic trim on bumpers, side protection strips etc are a bother when it come to detailing, and they are more robust than a vynl sticker. Not every one can afford a professional detailer. I assume Boss Fox is very wealthy going by the posts he has made about the number of cars he buys and the extreme mods he does to them.

About £50. Most I have seen are either £15 or over £100.

Yes it does, and that would also put me off red, especially as the strip is just a sticker and will cause problems with detailing. The balck is IMHO the best looking, and the red strip looks good on the black (as does the black on the red car), but I think the white car should have had a black stripe.

Another (and often forgotten) figure you have to consider is the max nose weight that is allowed. Many cars are able to pull the weight of caravans but struggle to handle the nose weight placed on the towbar. My Mk3 Mondeo had loads of power, and my caravan was under 75% of the weight of the car, but I had to move the gas bottles into the rear bathroom to get the nose weight under the allowed maximum for the car. This was not great as weighty items are more stable over the axel.

I have never owned one, and do not know what the engine issues were, but diesels are a disaster nowadays, with DMFs, DPFs, EGRs etc, all that cost over £1K to fix. I recently came back to petrol after a series of diesel cars, all of which were a nightmare.

Skoda is a make that suffers from higher than average depreciation, because of the unfashionable brand. Also there is such a flood of used and nearly new cars on the market that used prices have to be realistic to sell. The Citigo Sport is badly overpriced as new. Just look at new prices for other city cars such as the i10, C1 etc. I paid £11,005 for my Elegance Greentech. Only for the fact that I like the car so much I think I should have had my head felt for spending so much on a tiny car LOL. PS don't get the white one. I have seen all three and the white one looks like poo compared with either the Black or red. Why oh why did they put red stripes on the white car?????

Yes that looks nice. My own laptop is a Samsung Series 9 ultrabook, will full SDD storage. Boots very quickly and uses far less battery than a mechanical HDD.
