Fabia vRS For Sale - 05 Black Magic

Featured Replies

As discussed in the Fabia 1 section, I am looking to shift my wee Fabia as it's just not getting used any more - I either bus or cycle to work.

 

I have had the car 3 years and have always spent money on it whenever required, the spec is as follows:

 

2005, 05 Reg

86,000 miles (might go up slightly)

Black Magic

Taxed until end July 2014

Motd until 18th July 2014

4 good Uniroyal Rainsports 2

New discs and pads all round last year

New rear shocks last year

New radiator last year

 

Modifications are as follows:

 

BMW Red Leather interior retrim

Currently running on 4 VAG 7.5" steel rims (original alloys available for extra £ as well)

Colour coded front grille

Tinted windows

F&R Wishbone bushes replaced with Powerflex poly bushes

Mufflerectomy (stainless with twin outlet)

Elegance parcel shelf (cargo net underneath)

Boot liner

Pastyboy retro badges

Polo rear wiper

In-dash cup holder

Connects2 ipod lead in glovebox

Audi springs fitted to handbrake lever

 

OEM Skoda roof rack

Detachable swan neck tow bar & electrics

 

Now for the not so good bits:

 

There are 2 dents, one in drivers door and one in rear passenger door where some numpty either kicked or put their knee into it. The dents are both around the size of a Galaxy S4 :D - I have been quoted £220 to get repaired

The engine management light is on - code read points towards coolant sensor which I have replaced with OEM VAG one but light came back - think this could be a wiring issue but car runs fine as it is - have another sensor bought from Darkside Developments Update: Had this looked at by a VAG mechanic - he thinks running a new wire from the ECU to the sensor would be easiest fix.

Aircon needs a regas

NSR brake squeaks - think possibly sticky piston due to lack of use Update: Seems to be getting better the more I drive it!

Battery (new last year!) keeps going flat - it went flat just as I moved into a new house in May and I left it for 4 weeks, I think this killed the battery - looking to source a new one. New battery purchased on Saturday (Bosch S4) with 4 year warranty - solved this issue.

 

As it stands, I would take £3,000 £2,650 (without spare alloys) to take it away, if I get everything repaired then the price will rise accordingly to recoup my spend.

 

Car is now back on it's original plate of SJ05NWT and I received the V5 back from DVLA (they lost my cheque so it took longer than expected!!).

 

I have attached some pictures so you can see she really is a smart looking wee car, even with her faults and for a few quid she will be running great again.

 

She used to belong to another Briskoda member 2 owners before me so she has been well cared for throughout her life.

 

Cheers,

Steven

Purchased a new battery on Saturday morning, solved issues in that area.

 

Currently waiting on DVLA returning docs so I can remove private plate.

 

Talking with VW Tech about getting some other issues resolved.

 

Took the opportunity to give her a clean inside and out at the weekend and take some photos - shows up the 2 dents on drivers side.

OK, got my V5 back from the DVLA today (they lost my cheque so it took longer than expected!).

 

The car is back on the original plates - SJ05NWT and ready to rock.

 

I have reduced the price to £2,800 as it stands, firm as I think this is fair given the condition (good & bad) into account.

 

Cheers.

reduced to £2,650 without the spare alloys.
