Said farewell to my 38K 55 reg Fabia vrs yesterday.

All happened quickly, got the chance of another car and so I asked my local Skoda dealer if he was interested in buying the Fabia off me.

It needed 4 tyres needed the 3 year service in 400 miles and of course an MOT next month. Maybe £500? So the offer of £6500 was accepted.

So I am no longer a Skoda owner I will continue to watch, read and learn if I may from what has been a great forum to be part of.

Thanks to all who have helped, mostly without knowing it, and I wish you all continued fun.

what car you getting ?

Golf Match 105, it has loads of toys (more to go wrong?)

And heavyer. Still, nice car.

They chucked in the extra stuff with the match didn't they. Cruise, MFsteering wheel, highline comp. Did you get 16inch alloys.

All the best with the Golf

wish you all the best with your new purchase

15" fitted to car, but I saw some GT Sport 17s on e-bay which I am sure will be repeated soon.

Yeah MF steering wheel and highline comp plus auto dim rear view, auto lights (mmmm?) auto wipers (again?) i-pod docking station in arm rest, see you home lights etc.......... But only 105 and a 5 speed box:(

It is a 2008 57 plate, cost £10640, so price to change was £4k (or less if you take off the £500 worth of stuff the fabia needed) a no brainer to me.

Much slower but I have been looking at remaps;) any info on what the clutch will take?

Is the golf much heavier? the fabia is a heavy b***er.

The handling is really quite good, I drove a Mk4 a while back and it was really poor.

BTW the Fabia lost £5K from new in 2 yrs 11 mths and 38K. Thats good going I reckon.
