Hi all,

 

Seriously contemplating selling my little green hornet. Not sure what demanded is like on the market at the moment, hence this post.

 

Reason for sale is that my wife is learning to drive - and we only have room and need for one car, so time to downsize for a while to something she can drive when she's passed her test.

 

I won't offend anyone's intelligence by reeling off all the specs which you are probably well aware of since you're here!

 

So here are the important bits:

 

A 2011 (11-plate) Skoda Fabia vRS Hatch. Green with Black roof and Chrome alloys. It's also the facelift model with black grill & headlights, plus iRC stickers. Grey stitching interior.

 

- Owned outright - no finance - can prove with my Looker's receipt my end.

- I am the only owner from new, and a sensible member of the emergency services (get to drive fast legally at work )

- 24030 on the clock. I add about 100 each week.

- No smokers or pets have ever seen the inside.

 

The car has a full service history from Skoda, and has its 2014 dealer service due soon (would be complete prior to sale as already paid for). Tax is up end of June this year.

 

- All 4 wheels currently mint condition as replaced under warranty in feb '14 by Skoda due to corrosion);

- Amundsen Sat Nav / Multimedia centre;

- Rear parking sensors;

- Climatronic Air Conditioning;

- Heated Seats;

- Arm Rest;

- Spare wheel in boot compartment;

 

As you can see it's almost fully loaded with added extras. You'll do well to find another one on autotrader to this spec.

 

Besides a few tiny scuffs near the boot release button, and the odd barely noticeable stone chip - I have worked extremely hard (much to my wife's chargrin) keeping the bodywork scratch and dent free by parking well away from any other cars when parking at Tesco's / shopping centres etc.

 

I have not tinkered or modded the car in any way other than replacing the headlight bulbs with OSRAM Hyper cool bulbs so they are White in colour to match the DRLs / sidies.

 

Number plate currently has a 'VRS' suffix - but I might retain this as it was a gift.

 

I can't currently find the 2nd key. I believe it's buried in the loft somewhere as I moved November '13. If I can't find it I will either re-order a new one or make the necessary adjustments to the asking price.

 

Parker's value my vehicle with 20k on the clock at £10,301, and £9,811 for 30k.

 

My asking price, should I get the courage to proceed and let her go: £9750.

 

Depending how long it's been for sale, I would entertain sensible offers, but sorry not interested in Part-Ex.

 

I'm based on the Stockport / Manchester border - near to the M56 / M60.

 

PM me for any further info or to discuss anything further.

 

Thanks for reading!

 

George

 

 

 

Has it had to go back under recall for oil usage? Only ask as ive been looking at these recently after swapping from the old vrs se and there seems to be a lot recalled?

Nope - so far so good with the oil. I top it up probably 3 or 4 times a year - a litre each time, when the oil warning light pops up. I don't know if this is considered excessive in the community? I get Castrol Edge 5W-40. At £12 a litre from asda it's not an expense I notice over the year.

Lovely little motor, keep I say :yes:

*Bump*. I've managed to get Looker's Skoda to offer me £8000 for the car. Not a bad price - but I thought I'd give the community one last shot to see if there are any takers who can trump this. I would really like it to go to a good home

 

Mileage is now 24903. You won't find another Mk2 vRS with this many added extras and in such good condition.

Hi George - im new here but very interested in the VRS you have. I cant seem to private message you but all I wanted to ask is if you have a contact number I can get you on? Im only near Chorley so not a million miles away.

Cheers

Ben

Sorry OT in your sales ad.

But just to correct something.

 

furby-le.

re Oil & CAVE TSI Twinchargers.

There is no 'Recall' on these cars for Oil Use,  or ever has been a Recall.

just ones that are good, or wrong ones.

 

There is a 'Service Campaign' for many different VWG cars including Skodas with DQ200 DSG boxes to change the DSG OIl from 

Synthetic to Mineral, and do an ECU Update.

Again that is not a Recall, not all Fabia Mk2 vRS need the ' Field Action' doing.

You need to ask Skoda UK Customer Services or a Skoda Dealer if the Work requires doing.
