cool , never too old to learn then lol.

Nice, sounds like a good deal that. Seems he got a good package thrown in :thumbup:

That's scarily low mileage, 7,700 miles in 2.5 years! What's up with people these days, if I had a vrs it would be driven everywhere. Hope he enjoys it

Previous owner was 78!

He just walked in the showroom, pointed to a new Fabia Sport and said I'll have one of those!

About 250 miles a month - madness! He might have filled the tank up less than 20 times :rofl:

Steve

BARGAIN !!!! Its not even run in yet.

If its only done that milage, check it will go over 30 mph :rofl:

Obvioulsy dad might be 64 physically , but 24 mentally :D

If it was driven slowly wouldnt that be 1 tank every 5-6 weeks ?

Poor Dad, Does he know the Fabia is not as fast as the GTI6?

Haha, Ardandy what's the craic.

Nice, although I've seen a guy driving around Carlisle who must be in his 60's driving a new shape R32.

I might be able to win this one!

I have an 80 year old great aunt in Grantham who's husband bought a brand new (Brown) Datsun Cherry in about 1984. Neither were big drivers as they were retired and he died not long after buying it. She occasionally drives the 2 mile round trip to do the shopping but rarely ventures further than that.

Two funny stories.

First was when my dad went to stay a few years back. He drove her to the shops and she suddenly freaked out when he changed gear.

Aunt "What did you just do?!" Dad "I just put it into fifth" Aunt "It has five gears?"

She took it for it's yearly service and MOT this spring and the mechanic told her it flew through with only one problem. The odometer was faulty. That was until he checked it with the boss who pointed out the service history. 17000 is actually all it's covered!!

Less than 60 miles a month. If it ever sells I'm gonna get in quick and snap it up!

That's a bit like my Granddads car. I got it when I passed my test in 1997, the 1981 Austin MiniMetro had only 15,000 miles on the clock. That's an average of 1,000 miles per year in 15 years.

:) That's seriously low mileage, thought mine was low at 20k on a 54 plate.

Sounds like a good deal.
