Hi all, just introducing myself -

I have being researching the vRS over the last few days and am thinking about buying one.

I'm currently driving a 1989 BMW e30 touring which is doing about 20mpg at best, and can't really afford to run it.

I was wondering if anyone can offer any tips for buying vRS - ie pre 97 or post 97, what are the differences etc?

Also is would it be better to buy from a dealer for the 1 year warranty, new (can't really afford!) or private?

I live round the corner from the 'Seat Surgeons' mentioned on Fabia-vrs.com, so could pick one up with shabby interior and get it retrimmed.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jonny

Hello and welcome .

You will find all you need to know on the Fabia forum, Happy hunting.

Hello & welcome mate,

Well the Fabia vRS only came out in 2003, but there are some good examples out there. The earlier ones probably have higher miles on but that depends on your budget, but don't let the higher miles put you off, the engine and running gear in these cars are very reliable.

Can't offer any advice on the Octy vRS, but if you post in the Octy forum, actually, try doing a search first as the info you require is most likely to be in there, (saves another kitten being needlessly murdered)

Thanks for all of your replies!

@Simbo - haha, know what you mean about BMW drivers! Looking forward to getting out of that catagory!

@Coshine - thanks for the advice, I somehow forgot to mention that it was the Fabia vRS that I'm after. I've got my eye on 04 reg one in Leeds

Cheers
