Thanks for all of your replies! @Simbo - haha, know what you mean about BMW drivers! Looking forward to getting out of that catagory! @Coshine - thanks for the advice, I somehow forgot to mention that it was the Fabia vRS that I'm after. I've got my eye on 04 reg one in Leeds Cheers

Hi all, just introducing myself - I have being researching the vRS over the last few days and am thinking about buying one. I'm currently driving a 1989 BMW e30 touring which is doing about 20mpg at best, and can't really afford to run it. I was wondering if anyone can offer any tips for buying vRS - ie pre 97 or post 97, what are the differences etc? Also is would it be better to buy from a dealer for the 1 year warranty, new (can't really afford!) or private? I live round the corner from the 'Seat Surgeons' mentioned on Fabia-vrs.com, so could pick one up with shabby interior and get it retrimmed. Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks, Jonny
