Hi guys, I'm after buying a car for my year placement at uni in June and was wondering if you guys could me a hand.

My budget is £7000 and that's pretty much as high as I can go.

Ive been looking at the VRS because of its speed and economy as I'm going to driving 120 miles a day, so I'm after something economical yet something with some overtaking power. I used to have a 306 D without the turbo = bad times, cracking economy but no power.

I'm open to all cars, as I've also been looking at the Audi a3 (sick) and the golf but they both are a bit heavy on the wallet.

From your experience do you think I would be able to get a VRS with less than 60K on the clock for my budget?

If anyone is selling a VRS Limited Edition please let me know as they look the bollux!

Kind Regards

Daz

You'll easily get a vRS for that kind of money mate - have a look on autotrader - in the search options change the price range from £4k going up to £7k and in the further options bit change engine size to 1.7-1.9 and fuel to diesel - there's quite a few vRS's on there starting from about £4750, some look pretty nice.

Check this one out - had a new cambelt in 2008 which is good news - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201012355445137/sort/priceasc/usedcars/price-to/7000/engine-size-cars/1-7l_to_1-9l/price-from/4000/body-type/hatchback/model/fabia/make/skoda/postcode/l128rt/radius/1500/page/3?logcode=p

Should be able to get a 56 plate with under 40K on it for £7000 I reckon

Thank you man, I've seen from your sig that you've got a VRS Limited Edition.

Do you ever see them up for sale?

They're pretty rare but you do occasionally see them up for sale, yeah.

Absolutely no chance on that budget - the cheapest one on Autotrader at the moment is £8790! Mind you, the one I like is the one going for £11K! Are they taking the **** or what!

i got a black vrs for £6495 with 40000 miles on a 06 plate in january.
