Due to unfortunate circumstances during the last week (son's had brain haemorage and my father's died - please no sympathy needed, son's car for sale as he cannot drive. I've been a forum member for over 11 years.

DETAILS:

Fabia vrs

Silver

Year 2006 (EDIT: 55 plate)

54136 miles

Full service history at Skoda main dealers – last service, Feb 2011

iPod connector fitted to stereo. An extra piece which was bought (by accident at the time) allows the iPhone 4 to work.

MOT: January

Tax: Just bought new tax disc which starts August 1st. If I don’t sell, of course, this will be cashed in for refund.

Cambelt changed at correct time (4 yrs)

Never had the rain leak problem or any problem that needed seeing to except had tracking done last November but I don’t think anything was amiss.

Tyres: 2 brand new Toyo Proxes T1-r on front – perhaps done a few hundred miles at most. Rear tyres (EDIT: Continental Sport) have 4mm. Full size spare tyre.

A few scuffs on rear bumper and a sratch about 6 cm near rear wheel arch. Some curbing on alloys. If there is much more I will try and look later as it’s in our garage at the moment and other cars are blocking.

I will try and post some pictures when I have time but will not have time to 'tart it up', though it is very clean inside and out.

Price? Fair offers that fit near guide price (?)

Location: East Lincolnshire (Skegness).

He has had the car for about 2.5 yrs and is not a ‘boy racer’ type. Never been modified.

This is the first point of call so far to sell it.

EDIT: hopefully some pictures will upload. For those who have sent me a PM, I will be out from 12-45pm to about 3 pm. As for price, I will look into it but just a fair price will do- better than a garage would offer just to take it. It originally was bought from Horton's in Lincoln then traded in by its first owner. When we bought from there we got GardX applied.

I covered the sctrach with some silver paint a while back. Not the best job but was just protecting it.

On the picture of the rear, it looks like there is a big scratch on the door. It isn't a scratch, just a light reflection

PRICE: Looked at Parkers and WhatCar - see picture. Ok I'm not saying I will get their values so... Is about £4500 fair(?) WITH the new tax disc (starts Aug 1st cost £125)If not please PM with offers. Thanks

New Price

Since the last post I have been offered £3750 from a Skoda dealer without the year's tax and they know about the scratch etc - sent pictures. So this is like £3875 with the tax. I therefore think £4150 is a new fair price including the full year's tax. I've got a couple of litres of the correct oil spec. I'm giving away with it.

EDIT: Some have asked for extra photos including the bumper, wheels etc. There are 3 interested (I am not just saying that - I have more important matters on my mind at the moment! and I'm not trying to start an auction - just give info.). I haven't got time to forward all the pics individually but if someone wants a close up of a couple please ask.

The rear bumper isn't bad. What I thought was a scrape was actually a spray of tar specks which I've removed with polish. There are one or two nicks as shown One of the alloys is not curbed. The others have some as shown in the pictures. Some haze on the bumper is remnants of polish.

The seats are good but not perhaps as bright and clean as the photos suggest!

Where are you located? Thanks

Sorry just noticed its in there!

I just bought one,but this sounds a good deal if that scratch is the only marl on it.

On Auto Trader they are going for about £5000 with that mileage on

I have now received a deposit on the car. Thank you to all who were interested. I will PM those who were on the verge of buying. I really needed to sort out selling the car quickly and have a conclusion to it.

Absolutely fabulous car and as described by the forum member/seller.

My Octy VRS now has a wee brother!

It was a pleasure selling it to you. A long drive for you and you kept to everything you said.

Cheers
