Yes I am hoping to bring it Ryan

I see more cars being broken on FB than for sale that says something Matt. It can’t last forever before parts become more scarce

Bit late to the chat @wolfsburger glad to see you got yourself a nice SE example. I am on my second standardish Fab vRS. I had one about 11 years ago as a second car. Kept it for a few years then sold it for about the same as I paid. It had the seat surgeons leathers inc door cards. The polo dash drawer. And some other tasteful mods. Fast forward to my 50th and I wanted a 272/280 S3. Hard to come by and a lot of money. Have ended up with a standard very low mile 55 plate Furby again been about a year.. Needs some work. I don’t drive much these days but it would be my car of choice as the fleet is up-to 4 cars on the drive. I would love an SE though with heated leathers lol

It’s the chassis damage that you might not be aware of that seals the write off argument. Unfortunately

Your own ownership speaks volumes. These are keepers and very nice cars. With your Freedom privileges, offer it up on here. The low milers fetch good money. Worst case see what WBAC offers for it.

All depends on the climate and type of car parts. Also the life. A motorway car suffers a lot more I find. My Octy2 is pretty poor looking underneath and some rust in places likely from driving rain/salt

Some rust prevention to the underneath. Something like Lanoguard applied yourself ?

Whilst the clatter is pretty normal I think there is a little squeal or slip noise from perhaps alternator or alternator belt. Maybe even a tension roller. No expert just my tuned ears hearing something.

I noticed the same, following with interest on iv prices

Manual or DSG. If DSG do that stat first

Exhaust or exhaust shield rattling ?

We do have the price of the 17k at the end of the advert currently @Gaz maybe needs a larger font. Hoping to help your sale @redphil

Nice car, prospective purchasers might be assisted with more info such as below. Could you add more details engine size. BHP. Mileage. Manual or DSG Standard SPEC I.E. SEL Elegance etc Additional extras on top of standard Number of owners ?

Worth every penny. Taken you everywhere and more besides

You made an Autocar article Ryan so I would say it’s a collectors car, 19th page. It’s a Vectra nuff said. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/reviews/top-used-cars-for-less-than-10-000/ss-AA1dlccY?ocid=NL_ENGB_A1_00010101_1_1&cvid=21d3803f439d4d179a55206cd094b77c&ei=34#image=19

If everything in life was as reliable as a Skoda, when it’s running ok 😂

Apologies if the wrong thread mods please move. As an S2 owner I have not been on this newer area of forum. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/skoda/superb/361856/new-hot-skoda-superb-vrs-flagship-set-join-range-first-time

Shame sounded like a nice motor. Hope the new one is just as Superb.

Is your Superb up for sale or part chopped for the new steed ?

I ran the engine with the expansion cap off. Been a while dont remember how long to run for.

Nope. My lad caught it on our way home from town today shopping, at some traffic lights.

£20-30 RFL sweetens the deal also for the Leon petrol TSI. The TDIs are into the early £200’s some of them, we are certainly paying the price keeping them going.

I know it’s not a Skoda but joining in with others after my recent Octy post. Our Leon has just clocked 60k. Managed to catch it today been waiting…..

I can vouch for a late 2013 1.2TSI 105BHP Leon 5 door hatch, we got the SE Tech. Has Nav. iPod/phone/USB connection. Think SD card too. LED front and rear lights. Nice looking motor. 6 Speed manual. Proper handbrake. Arm rest jumbo box. Cruise control. Nice maxidot type computer and more on stereo. MF Steering Wheel. All important cam belt not chain engine, was a factor for me. On a run can do 50MPG or more, around town can vary say 35-40, but I can eeek 45-50 out of it. Being a petrol not much torque like the diesels, so you need to rev high to get decent poke. But it’s no slouch. 2 adults and 2 teens has started to feel a little underpowered sometimes. I would get the 1.4 125bhp FR next looks the part and some more horses. It’s our only ULEZ car for Bham and London. All 3 of mine are still diesels. Good luck with your search.

Sorry to hear about the accident. Good to hear you are okay. Do you not want to replace it with another? Hard to find a decent vRS, depending on what you are looking for and willing to pay. There is a red one for sale on here if it floats your boat?
