Very similar.

Dealer sale usually means easier to finance and possibility for a small haggle.

So I don't think yours will be far off.

Yes thinking the same.

If I can get a good offer then am happy for a sale.

You forgot to list any options you added.

It could make yours more interesting over a basic dealer stock vehicle.

Ah yes good point.

I have: -

Climatic/Climatronic

Heated Seats

if you look on carfile.net your car will be £14303 brand new, yes fabia estate is rare but it is not diesel and not THAT SOUGHT after, to lose £308 after 8 month use is laughable imo

Price added.

That would suit me fine, but haven't sold mine yet! Have it on here - would you consider p/ex or not?

p/ex with a dealer?

No, I won't get close to my private sale asking price above...

If anyone who wants my car has the following though :-

Octavia, 2.0 Diesel 140 PD, Elegance, DSG *preferred* (but will consider a manual) that hasn't got TOO many miles on it............ then i'd consider a P/ex that way too - I have about a max of around £7K when all is said and done.

Just to clarify: - there is finance on my car, however this would obviously be paid during a sale.

My car is a daily driver, so is going up about 14 miles per day.

Just seen your car rossdook.

If that was a diesel I would have bitten your arm off for it.

gorebrush, you have done the maths haven't you? the age old petrol vs diesel, in most cases if your not doing more than 20k miles per year, petrol usual works out to be cheaper in the long run

Yeah but the point is I'm trying to sell a £13.5K car and get a 6-7K one, and not pay £300 a month finance.

That extra £300 a month will be going towards paying off our mortgage. No matter how the petrol vs diesel argument works out - £300 a month on top of our mortgage is a nice little overpayment...

Does that make sense?

The thing is, after the finance is up (I took it over 2 years) I'd still have probably a 9K car and THEN I could save the £300 a month.

Fair enough! That chap is spot on - yours comes out brand new at £14303. There is a 5 month wait for delivery which he hasn't mentioned though...

<shameless plug>

Well in that case someone could snap up a bargain and beat the queues

</shameless plug>

P/ex only I'm afraid...

Out of interest, what would you offer with p/ex in terms of cash??

And, just to satisfy my curiosity - how come your flogging an Octavia and going to a Fabia vRS?

Fair enough! That chap is spot on - yours comes out brand new at £14303. There is a 5 month wait for delivery which he hasn't mentioned though...

That chap hasnt mention there will be no fianance option or 0% interest skoda is offering & 3 year free serving if you take the finance option out, plus you have a choice of colour option etc etc and new car smell

HOLD THE PHONE

There is still "some" new car smell in mine, though admittedly it is starting to wear off now :(

Just post in this forum?

If you can't then I guess you'd need a freedom membership (posting on my phone so I can't see if you are a freedom member or not)

Could probably do £2k plus mine. Not needing as big a car these days - fished once in the last 2 seasons and played golf a year ago now, so no call. Kids older too, so less lugging stuff around for them too. That's only reasons really

Fair enough, just wondering :-)

How does that sound & how much were u thinking?

It is interesting because ultimately I would prefer to have an octavia - and to be fair yours is a stunning low mileage example.

I'll have a think - but certainly interested
