Vrs i'm looking at - what too look for?

[Polo6n1600i]

Im going to look at a VRS which is only a few miles away from me - its a little more than I want to pay. But, its got very low miles and a full skoda service history.

The seller is asking £6095 - it has Xenon's - but are they worth any extra over the std headlights?? I was thinking of offering £5600 for it

The more cars I see in black the more I like them..............

What are the main things to ask/look for?

[Joff]

Genuine Xenons are always a good option on dark nights, plus they're not really a retrofit option so you either have em or you don't.

I would be surprised if the seller hadn't priced to be knocked down anyway so it's always worth giving it a try.

Hiya moved thread to a more relevant area

To answer your question, with a question what is the age, mileage of the car? Any other extras?

The Zenons add desireability, especially come re-sale time. probably add £200 as well, and when set correctly are vastly superior to std bulbs.

10% off is probably a good place to start haggling if the car is worth the asking price

[Johnny50]

Depends on age.

It's got the older rear lights, so no newer than 04 roughly, so really depends on mileage, and any extras.

£5600 would sound about right, wouldn't pay 6k, but thats just me.

[Robshaw]

What's up with the rear wheel centre cap? (First Picture)

I wouldn't offer the 6k either. It's not how we role

[Johnny50]

Looks like the badge sticker has come off...they're a white/silver colour underneath.

[Phil_Peck]

Can you not buy those things for peanuts?

(The wheel centre things that is!)

[Johnny50]

Pretty much so, they're not expensive at all.

[jasc1988]

what is the mileage and year??

Xenon's are cool.... not as cool as Cruise though

[Johnny50]

I love my cruise.

Check rear floors are not wet (door seals or window carrier letting in water)

Check for clunks, knocks from front suspension (ARB, Drop Links, Console Bushes)

Check rear window washer squirts water onto the window (detached hose)

Check for excessive noise with clutch down at idle (Dual Mass Flywheel)

Check electric windows works as they should, and make sure all electrics work (wiring loom can get wet if water getting into bulkhead area)

[atoh42]

ha ha looks like we are both looking at the same cars :eek:......

Im on the look out for a fabia vrs too and saw this on autotrader buts its too far for me just to nip down to look at. Its low milage for an 04 plate and i would prob aim for about £5,600 as well

[Polo6n1600i]

Its an 04 reg with 36000 miles on the clock! No other options other than Xenons!

Going to have a look at a few on Sunday (30th) hopefully I'll come home with one!
