Anyone seen it? Not a bad little write up

Write up about what?

"used buying guide - Skoda Fabia vRS from £3300"

:p

No, but I shall certainly peruse it in the library WH Smith tomorrow.

In't autocar free in Asda?

Just read it in Sainsbury's there - a fair-minded write-up .

Is Autocar telling us something we already know?

Yip, but some of the more insecure amongst us like a little reassurance now and then :yes: .

whenever i buy a car it seems to drop right down in value inside a year :wonder: .... this time last year the cheapest i saw were 4.5k and i paid considerably more

i know that feeling

To get one at 3300 is a bit of a mission though tbh.

All ones on 70k ish still seem to be going to 4.5k+

What was milleage of the autocar one?

They might be advertised at £4500, but they aren't fetching that. There doesn't seem to be any interest at all on here in 06 plates priced at £6,500.

The glasses guide p/x for an 06 plate is £4250, and the dealers are struggling to shift them. With a bit of negotiation my old 06 plate with 54,000 can be had from a main dealer for probably a touch under 6 grand with a warranty.

It's a case of "spot the mistakes" - notably the fact that the damp carpets aren't caused by faulty door seals (in the main) as they suggest.
