I'll take a look today and let you know if you like. It's only down the road.

If you go in to buy it, DON'T buy it from the old guy (John Thornton). He'll do all he can to prevent you from getting a good deal. Deal with one of the other guys.

Well done that man, good Briskoda spirit!

Whatever I can do :thumbup:

Right Vib, I've just had a look at it.

Body's straight, panel gaps are good, sills aren't even bent so it's obviously never been jacked up. :rolleyes:

Paintwork's in reasonable condition, a bit swirly and coated in dust at the moment, a few light scratches here and there as you'd expect, some stone chips on the bonnet. Bumpers in good nick, the front hasn't even been scraped underneath as far as I can tell.

Alloys are all spot on apart from the n/s/f which is scuffed through the lacquer on the spokes. No major kerb damage, it's just scuffing.

Tyres are all legal and a few K left on them, evenly worn but it could do with a new set of boots if you wanted to sweeten a deal.

All the lamps are straight, level, lenses uncracked, no misting in the indicators.

Bumper and door rubbing strips all present and correct, no gouges/cracks/ scuffs apparent.

The place was closed so I haven't been inside it, but I've had a damn good look through the windows. Interior is very tidy, both front seats are showing the standard beginnings of fraying where the mesh meets the leather, but I'd expect that they could be done under warranty. All the seats are clean, door cards are clean and unworn, steering wheel's good, pedals clean and unworn, switchgear all clean and matt, not shiny. Rear seats in very good nick, boot looks like it's hardly been used but the matt black trim on the top of the bumper at the boot lip needs some peanut butter.

Front brake pads look pretty much brand new, discs are rust-coated but don't feel pitted, tiny wear lip on the discs so I'd guess they've done a few K but nothing serious. Rear pads also very good, rear discs similar age to the fronts I'd guess.

Exhaust looks in tip-top nick, tailpipe needs polishing up but still looks good, exhaust deposits are the right colour.

Radiator looks good, no major damage apparent apart from a few bent fins. All the grilles are tidy and uncracked.

Number plates in good nick, uncracked and on straight.

Wipers and window rubbers all look to be good, no sign of any replacement glass as far as I can see, no scratches, cracks or damage to any of the windows.

Underneath is clean and tidy, everything's standard, straight (and there!). Mileage is just over 30K, and the price on the screen is

What a first class report WRC well done.

Now then there's a car in Shetland I'd like you to give the once over. :thumbup:

cheers for that - it seems to be quite well priced compared to what I've seen on the skoda website so I was wondering if there was anything wrong with it.

What a great report WRCSixtyThree! :thumbup: Come with me next time I change my car ?? :)

Give him the money Vibrio, let him do the business for you!

Can't find anything obvious without a more in depth inspection. If you're interested in the car, let me know and I'll go back in for a test drive and a more thorough look.

Unfortunately didn't get a chance to go and do that today, but I could do it during the week if you want Vib.

Also, if you're after any specific info, PM me for my mobile no and we can talk direct.

Well done that man, that's more comprehensive than an AA check!:thumbup:
