Hi,

lookin to buy a used Fabia 1.4 for a familly 2nd car......please help..

Its all happening a bit quick, I know its not a good idea to rush things when buying used, but I fly to Russia on sunday for my job, and our other car (old Micra was condemmed today by the MOT tester :-)

So, I had a look today at a Fabia as a cheap replacement. I know the guy who has it (local) so thats a start, its a;

Y reg, 1.4 Hatch in solid Blue.

83,000 miles, I years MOT,

Its bodily very straight, no surface rust..... he wants £950... (I think he will lower this tho)

SO, what do I need to look for,

are they all 16v motors?, is it a VW motor?....When is the Cam belt / chain change due?

Insurance group, (my laddie is 18)

Anything I need to look for, specific to this model ?

Really appreciate your experience here Guys n Galls ....!

Thanks
