Using the power of forum members,

Minimum spec:

1. Superb TDI 170 DSG ELEGANCE

2. FL (from 2008?)

3. Deep dark colours (not grey/black/brown/rusollo thingy)

4. Sub 80k

5. From Skoda dealer

6. Max £12k

7. Take PX

Desirables:

a. Front Park sensors

b. Park Assist

c. Heated windscreen

d. Columbus SatNav

e. SD card reader

f. Wood trim

g. Beige leather interior

h. late 2009 for some cosmetic changes?

i. full size spare / space saver

here you go.....wrong colour but right price...At the price you want to pay I recon you'll either have a long wait or need to compromise a bit, but best of luck anyway

On Skoda.co.uk

Thks Bill - yeah could b a long wait ... I got 2 weeks.

... 4 weeks max!

Thks littleade - this one wasnt on the site whn i last look!

Strange Littleade?

The filter i apply to skoda.co.uk dont come back with tht car?!!

I use AUTOMATIC / 4 YEARS / £14k ?!!!

The description of the car says DSG, but the spec in the right hand column says manual. That's why your search isn't finding it. Looking at the picture of the interior, it looks like a DSG.

Cheers dippo!

I just spotted tht - could save a grand there due to dealer mistaken for manual :-)

Ha, ha FCS don't tell the DSG lot they've just got an auto, they'll be all over you like a rash! BIG bumping of gums!

I did it by Superb, price and diesel. I work with data..... boring as hell at times, but 1 thing I've picked up is filters aren't 'intelligent' and will give you exactly what you ask for, so if you c*ck up the filters it doesn't know that and misses out stuff you actually wanted. So what I tend to do is start with a wider filter parameter, then refine it in stages, so I don't miss anything. Takes a bit nonger tho.

cheers and good luck

Cheers Ade and cheers for finding this little gem!

Thks to the power and love of the members here (esp. Gizmo / Bill / Ade etc)...

I can spot gems like DSG (whn the skoda site filters out as manual).

And how to look for front/side park sensors.

Can i also ask:

1. Park Assist can be spotted by wheel arch sensor?

Or if there is a 2nd labelled button on the right of gear stick?

3. How do i spot if has Columbus (better i been told)

Or admundsen or admundsen+ stereo?

4. Whether it has SD and/or hard drive?

5. CD Interchange?

6. Full size or Space saver or cannister?

7. superb has no sun roof?

8. TV and/or DVD option

9. Xenon lights

10. 59-plate for DRL in fog?

11. Upgrade in stereo from standard

12. Paddle ****fts

13. 7-spoke alloys corrodable, 6-spoke do not corrode

Sorry for long list.

Thks for helping!

My DSG Octavia had auto on the V5 and insurance. It changes the gears automatically so its an auto and classed as a auto.

1. Park Assist can be spotted by wheel arch sensor?

Both, Park Assist will have both.

3. How do i spot if has Columbus (better i been told)

Or admundsen or admundsen+ stereo?

Elegance will have Columbus as standard in the UK. You will only see the Admundsen systems on the SE+ spec.

4. Whether it has SD and/or hard drive?

All Columbus Systems will have both.

5. CD Interchange?

Very few Elegances will have this if any, why would you want to shuffle 6 CDs when you can put 4,000+ tracks on a card and another 4,000 on the hard drive? Plus plug an iPod into the Aux socket.

6. Full size or Space saver or cannister?

Look in the boot?

7. superb has no sun roof?

There is one available as an option, not seen many with it.

8. TV and/or DVD option

Only the L&K comes with TV, all Columbus' will play DVDs

9. Xenon lights

Standard on the Elegance

10. 59-plate for DRL in fog?

Correct

11. Upgrade in stereo from standard

Look for the extra speaker with a 'Sound System' badge on it in the door.

12. Paddle ****fts

Look behind the steering wheel.

13. 7-spoke alloys corrodable, 6-spoke do not corrode

Look at the wheels

LOL

Massive thks Spence.

I wanted to chk the above before asking seller / going over to see.

But yes - useful whn i am there too!

Strange tht.

Whn i test drove the 2009 Elegance - i was sure the sterea said ADMUNDSEN - i could have been mistaken!
