something like this? https://www.shpock.com/en-gb/i/XErKBDulGQnlTFnD/skoda-fabia-vrs-1-9-tdi-130-6-speed-asz

my budget is very little, so looking at car shas been a nightmare, either its too far, too expensive or been treated badly. i will see if i can find a car you mentioned though

thank you, completely forgot we have a classifed section, will check it out. yeah a live video? for someone who may travel nearly 200 miles, it is best to try see everything.

i have already done an insurance check and its cheaper than my old car (fabia mk2) which i find strange as you said, its a vrs. i wanted a car with bit more power than my fabia and wanted a car that is economical, i guess that would never work.

vrs only gives us 30mpg? my old car gave me something like 40 i think which i think is good. so sounds like the vrs drinks alot of fuel? yeah i wouldnt mind hearing what the engine sounds like too, you can tell a problem by listening cant you?

that is interesting, why did they stop at 2010?

thank you for the list, that will save me thinking what to ask. will wait for a reply or i might just send him another message.

sorry i didnt know, i remember someone telling me that octavia is very good for taxis.

hhmmm.... will have to think hard on this one now. i have never heard of rac or other company that does inspection services, that is a good idea, i will google for more info.

if its ok with you, i might just copy what you just asked and paste it on a message to him and see what he says. wouldnt surprise me as octavia is one of the best for cabbing/taxi so ive heard/read.

problem is i cant check it out as its too far away but i can when they deliver it though.

i have checked the mot history and so far all that seemed to have failed is brake pads and tyres which isnt too bad. another reason why i asked about the oil and sparkplug is the owner may not have serviced it. been looking at cars most of the week now and most cars have already got mot and been serviced so not sure about the octavia.

looking at the first picture, the sidelamp and headlamp appears to be a separate.

i could try lowering th price, how about 1200?

thank you they said they can deliver. do you guys think its a good car?

oh yeah, i forgot about the extra cylinder. i have been so used to the fabia i thought it was 3 cylinder. it will feel strange seeing 4 cylinder though.

thank you i did check when mk2 was made then i posted in mk2 section but got moved to mk1, was bit confused so thought i would ask. i know its an old car but been recommended on here. i used to have a fabia mk2 with the bzg engine, i am guessing the octavia will use a different oil and sparkplugs to the fabia? i am only asking as i still have a new bottle of oil that was going to go in the fabia but it broke down.

thank you i have already asked him that question, just waiting on a reply. also, isnt the mk2 skoda made in 2005? i thought this one is a mk2.

did you manage to sort this isu=sue out? it happened to me too, luckily i knew someone who is a welder and weldered another wheel nut bolt onto the locking nut then using a wheel nut undoer to undo the broken locking nut.
