Don't know what happened before?

 

anyway lets try again...

 

up for sale due a sudden re location at work is my fabia vrs. I no longer need a diesel so I'm going to get an integra as I've wanted one for years!

 

think the car may already be known on the forum from its first owner, the car is a great example and has been loved by every owner and i have put a fair bit of many into it.

 

The car turns loads of heads, and gets loads of comments everyone that goes in it is always very impressed by it. the car has had a lot of love put into it and has always been extremely well looked after. The previous owner was a real skoda enthusiast and a mature owner that absolutely mothered this car as have I!

any inspection etc more than welcome, there is nothing to hide. car pulls amazing well in all gears there is so much torque. Car hasn't been ragged, always warmed up and cooled down. majority of miles i have done have been motorway to work or my partner has had it to go back and forward from her parents with our child in the back. (Boot easily holds a travel system if your interested)

 

Car has had a new radiator at the beginning of the year as the original cracked. all parts where fitted by a specialist and i have receipts for nearly £500 for this. 

Many thanks for looking, prob forgotten a few bits so feel free to ask any qs. Not in any rush to sell so no silly offers please. I can send plenty more pics etc.

 

Probably missed quite a few of the extra little bits it has and the pics don't do this car any justice.

Also have brand new boxed darkside development egr delete kit waiting to be fitted. 

 

Im after offers around the £4,200 mark but of course will listen to suggestions etc.

 

Car is based in Stevenage Hertfordshire.

 

Many thanks for looking

BUMP.

Up for listening to offers or comments/ opinions re pricing? If I'm not going to get anywhere near what I would like will have to re think selling so would be up for peoples views (you won't offend) thanks

Also is there anyway to edit title of thread?

Being honest I looked at this and would have been interested till I saw 2 problem threads and the fact that you're selling the car after only a few weeks ownership. Doesn't inspire confidence. Sorry but you did ask for comments.

[jh100]

Nah that's fine mate, I need some honest feed back? What problem threads did you find and also I've owned the car for around a year maybe a little longer.

Apologies. Misread the date on those threads. Sent you a PM.

[jh100]

Just to clarify a few things which if you may have looked through my old threads may have put you off… I mentioned when I first owned the car the oil light switch started to come on (I did say in the thread the car was still mechanically driving fine) this was confirmed to be a faulty sensor which was changed by a garage a few days later and nothing more.

 

I also mentioned one of my HIDS was playing up, these where professional installed by a shop in St.Albans when I had the windows tinted. One ballast was faulty the company changed it a few days later and no issues since.

 

The car is without doubt mechanically sound and in truly amazing condition I really do not have anything to hide. If money was better my mrs would be keeping the car. I am in no rush for it to go what so ever.

 

The previous owner really was a massive enthusiast which poured so much love into this car and I’m sure I could put you in contact with him if needed for peace of mind.

 

I was starting to work through the massive amounts of receipts and paperwork I have for the car this morning and no lie there is going to be receipts easily totalling over 5k.  (I will put some pictures of receipts in next few days.)

 

Some of the main receipts for note:

 

27/04/2012 £190 labour cost, and for £384 new turbo

31 /01/2012 £1,772.36 for full respray, door handles and grill surround colour coded, door strips removed (hence paintwork being spotless)

05/01/2012 £600 KW coilovers

11/03/2011 receipt from rimstyle £983 BBS alloys

 

Loads and loads of receipts for the smaller pieces, lots of things I have forgotten to list include in listing including powerflex & Ibiza cupra front console bushes, poweflex front anti roll bar bushes, Ibiza rear bump stops, skoda number plates surrounds, silvertech bulbs, all bulbs upgraded, facelift rear clusters, bosh aero wipers, Ibiza cupra smaller rear wiper, new car mats, vrs footrest, chrome speedo rings the list could go on.

 

All parts where bought new from reputable dealers etc no ebay/ second hand cheap stuff.

 

Also timing belt and water pump last changed at 59,000 miles on 13/02/2011

 

Never in any accident, no outstanding finance etc on vehicle

Some paperwork pics for an idea...

Ha my old car would have brought it from you message me if you change your mind.

[jh100]

Hey mate can't pm for you some reason. We've had an unexpected last min change of plans. My partner loves it just as much as I do and neither of us really wanted to see it go, she is gojng to be using it now and see how she gets on with it but she may need a bigger car with our baby and all the kid stuff. If she's starts to struggle over next couple of months and we look at selling again I'll let you know. My email is [email protected] if you wanted to ping me your details
