2005 '05 Fabia vRS for sale... NOW SOLD!

Featured Replies

(EDIT - High-res pics added)

I am selling my lovely yellow vRS after approximately 6 and a half trouble-free years of ownership due to my wife's company car arriving on August 1st.

Please note that the car will not be available until Saturday July 30th as it's currently being used by my wife while she's on maternity leave. She returns to work on Monday August 1st which is when she will collect her new car.

My vRS was purchased new from Lightcliffe Skoda in Halifax by me in March 2005.

It has a full service history with all bar one completed at my local main Skoda dealer. It's currently showing 65,633 miles and should have no more than 66,000 miles on the clock by the end of the month.

Here's a breakdown of the good points:

- Full service history (see below)

10/05/2006 @ 9,788 miles (main dealer)

03/05/2007 @ 20,291 miles (main dealer)

22/02/2008 @ 30,564 miles (main dealer)

04/04/2009 @ 43,444 miles (main dealer)

19/03/2010 @ 54,414 miles (independent specialist)

04/04/2011 @ 63,835 miles (main dealer, plus brake fluid change)

- The next service isn't due until April 4th 2012 or 74,000 miles

- MOT'd until July 9th, 2012 having just sailed through the test on July 9th

- Comes with heated seats (very rare and useful option, especially with the cold winters we've been having!)

- I had the cambelt and water pump replaced at my main dealer on August 9th last year at a cost of nearly £400.

- All the brake discs and pads, along with a sticking OSR caliper were replaced in April 2009.

- The front console bushes were replaced using uprated versions in April 2010.

- I have just spent £250 having the crankshaft sensor replaced (she drives like a dream now!)

- Kuhmo Ecsta KU31 Sport tyres all round, fronts have 3-4mm tread and the rears have 5-6mm.

- Overall the car is in decent condition inside and out for its age.

- Car comes with all original documents and quite a few receipts, along with both original keys.

And now for the bad points (yes, there are a few :():

- OSR scrape from a parking post at my wife's work. Approx 6" long and not too deep. This is the worst damage but it's relatively minor (see pic below).

- Two very small (max 5mm wide) cracks on the front bumper, either side of the grille below the number plate. Not noticeable until you're stood right in front of it

- Rear bumper was bumped in a car park, causing some very small chips and a light crease approx 10" wide in centre of bumper. As above, not really noticeable until you're right on top of it

- A few small scrapes on both bumpers, hardly show up and nothing that you wouldn't find on any other car of this age

- The driver's seat bolster has worn through on the right hand side creating an approximate tear of 1"x0.5". The interior is in A1 condition apart from this

- The Road Tax runs out on August 31st

- The wheels aren't perfect. They all have 'bubbling' on them and some damage to the lacquer. They also have some curbing but it's very minimal

Bearing in mind the potential cost of repairing the various cosmetic scrapes, I have decided to put the car up for £3,750, which I believe is a very good price for such a well maintained and mechanically sound car. The car must go this month so I will consider sensible offers as I don't want it sat around in the garage unused.

Please message me if you're interested, or you require more info/pics etc.

Thanks, Steve Dinsdale.
