Had a quick look at the approved skoda used cars web site this morning to see whats around, and could not believe my eyes, i am sure some dealers are having a laugh with the prices they are trying to flog used VRS's.

For instance a 10 reg VRS CR DSG with 5000 on the clock, had a fair few extras, was marked up at a touch under 24K!!!!

A good 6k overpriced in my mind bearing in mind the deals that available.

a 10 reg with 5000 miles on it already?

Surely that's more than new price!

Sometimes because we have to advertise all our cars we mark the cars that we don't want to sell up for a lot of money to make sure it stays with us for a bit. For example I don't want to sell our vRS demo at the moment or the Yeti as once they go I haven't got anything to replace them with.

It will not have 5000 miles on it, at least not yet. It will be a demonstrator, probably not ready for sale yet (they have to keep them for a minimum 3 months), and 5000 will be a nominal mileage for a 3 month old demo. Price is taking the mickey, but there are some gullable people out there.

The list price for that car is over £25k as it has a load of extras (although it's quite hard to see what is base spec and what is an extra from the listing).

Extras included:

• Leather Seats - £820
  
• Metallic Paint - £410
  
• Columbus - £1580
  
• Xenon Lights - £720
  
• Heated Front Seats - £260
  
• Parking Sensors - £270
  

Comes to around £25,115 list price according to the January brochure. Still not much of a discount but as James said it is probably a demo car they don't want to get rid of yet.
