Selling the Fabia Whats it worth?

[Insanity-74]

Time has come to get rid of the Fabia vRS so I am after a rough idea on price, I dont now weather to sell or part ex it.

Its a 2005 vRS in Yellow currently at 99,350 miles. Xenon headlights

Its as far as i know totally standard or standard spec

Its had -

New radiator, water pump, header tank.

Head gasket has been done, New Garret standard spec turbo, new valve stem oil seals, new injector seals, brand new cam shaft, cam belt, the interior fan relay has been replaced...all electronics work as they should. New drop links, brakes over hauled new front wheel bearings. Engine pressure tested all comes back OK. No rust what so ever...been well looked after bodywork wise.

The car drives great, pulls really well in all gears at all revs.

Couple of bad points...slightly smokey on start up which goes almost immediately and dosnt return for the rest of the day. Knocking from front passenger wheel when going over bumps...I suspect console bush things (or what ever they call them), couple of stone chips on the front.

Is it worth selling privately (if so whats it worth?) or part ex it????

I'd say around £4,300..

[Insanity-74]

Slightly more than i was expecting....so £3900 for a quick sale wouldnt be unreasonable?....better put an add together for the for sale section.

I wouldnt even list the work its had done, it would put me off tbh....

Yea but i like to be up front and honest....if it puts people off then so be it...its one less thing for the next owner to worry about. If I advertise it away from Briskoda then I wouldnt mention it, but as its here I wouldnt want to be accused of hiding things or selling a dodgy car

i would tell him something with the second word being off and go back to a skoda instead of a dagenham dustbin

[Guest BigJase88]

where are you located insanity?

im looking for a Fabia myself.

[Insanity-74]

I'm in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

I would list the stuff that has been done, id prefer to buy a motor knowing stuff like that has been replaced. Shows a good service history and that its been looked after and planned preventitive maintenance has been done. Id say about 4grand for that motor if it had a stamped book and no ripped seats etc.

The interior is like brand new...not even the slightest hint of wear n tear.
