Possible purchase on the cards

Hi folks,

Thinking about going to look at this car, do i need to look out for anything in particular?

Was fancying a diesel tbh but if i was going to go for one i think it would have to be the common rail version but as the mileage i do per year is low the extra expense would be unwarranted i feel and the horror stories about the pd engines and dpf's are knocking me off the earlier model diesels.

I had a mk 1 fabia vrs and i loved it but obviously no dpf there :-).

Here's the car anyway, what do you guys think?

Looks tidy, the DPF on the PD put me off an early vRS too, went for the 140 TDI L&K in the end.

Looks like a nice example,bit over priced for me id say £5500 is the max id pay for it.

thanks guys, is there anything in particular to watch out with the tfsi engines?

Would love the diesel tbh esp for the tax amount but is the running costs mpg etc that much different when i am doing 6-8k per year?

I suppose the later petrol version is £200 per year tax and probably a little cheaper over the diesel .

 

Still looking anyway but might go and see this one and take a test drive as i have never driven one
