Just been looking at Manheim auctions stock listing and Skoda uk are selling a black magic Vrs reg 17.01.07 KR56EZW with a genuine 1167 miles!!!

Its going for auction at Leicester on thursday,car has been declaired sorn since sept 08.Must be one of the last press demo Fabia Vrs,s,bit out of my price range but somebodys going to get a "new" Vrs for a bargain price.

What is the guide price? Can anyone go to the auction and bid?

There will be a reason why the miles are so low....

Anyone can go to Manheim Auctions as they are also open to the general public as well as their trade buyers. Just to warn though on average across the board at auction all cars are starting to fetch around £500 - £800 more than they were at the end of 2008.

I Dunno why, but the low miles and being sold by Skoda actually makes me more suspicious, like it's been sat at the UK HQ while technicians have been scratching thier heads about something.

The infamous BLT stutter, Possibly:confused:

Yeah, could be something like that couldn't it.. A car retained for development purposes because it makes no sense to keep pulling a new car each time you wanna just fiddle with a setting or two and then nip round the block!

.

Just had a look at auction stock list and car is not there anymore.

with storys of people being offered good money for there low milage vrs`s i would be very careful with the car, as said, very strange skoda are selling it.

Hi This car is for sale on e**y by Rainworth skoda. Checked it on CARCHECK and it came back registered Jan 07 STOLEN RECOVERED, DAMAGED but no insurance claim - loss date 28-03-2007. - probably a demo car so went back to skoda..

the good bit they want £ 9290:00

2 years old and over £9k. I wouldn't call that cheap whatever mileage it has. You can buy SE's with good history for that money now. Here's SE no. 001 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SKODA-FABIA-130-VRS-TDI-SPECIAL-EDITION-MET-BLUE_W0QQitemZ280329678237QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item280329678237&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
