You're looking at my much-loved Fabia vRS Special Edition, model year 2007 and registration year '07'. Of the 1000 that were built for the UK market, this is number 733.

 

Some users may remember that I had this up for sale earlier this year, but after the guy who put a deposit down (at an agreed price of £6,800) decided to pull out the day before coming down from Hull to collect the car, a series of life events has kept me from re-advertising this car until now. With a new home on the horizon I need to free up money for a deposit. Please read my updated (and less flowery) description and (heavily) revised price. I could really do with a quick sale.

 

 

 

The car has only covered 34,500 miles. As far as this engine goes, the general consensus among other caring owners is that that's not a lot. It pulls like a train through the gears, and is much quicker than the on-paper acceleration figures would have you believe.

 

The car has had two owners, myself as the second. The first owner bought and registered it new, so this is not an ex-demo car. He owned it for five years before trading it in for a new Fabia at the same dealer he bought this car from. I bought it from that dealer in August 2012, making me the owner for the last 26 months or so. I have covered around 12,000 miles in it during that time.

 

It is fitted with Special Edition standard equipment including leather seats embossed with the limited edition number, cruise control, air conditioning and lots more.

 

Servicing

Full service history including its last (full) service at around 33,500 miles at a Skoda specialist, and cambelt change at 32,000 that was undertaken by a main dealer.

 

The positive

The interior is in absolutely amazing condition. Stepping into the car (blue-edged carpet mats fitted) you'd easily believe that this car was less than 12 months old. It's in fantastic shape and I can't believe for a second that you'll find one with a fresher, cleaner interior. Its seats, carpets, dashboard and so on are all as completely damage-free as it is possible to believe for a 2007 car.

 

The engine growls nicely and pulls extremely strongly and smoothly in all gears. There is a middling amount of tread on the tyres, in the region of 5mm, and there's no need to change them in the near future. It has a recent MoT with no advisories, it has had a recent full service with a Bristol specialist and it has also had its brake fluid changed recently.

 

Negative

The exterior has its fair share of small stone chips, as well as one or two larger ones below the grille. The paint could benefit from a professional polish, too; something I simply never got around to.

 

The alloys are typical examples for their age. Their is some light kerbing that you could describe as 'grazing' rather than 'gouging'. There are also some small, visible patches of bubbling under the wheels' paint. As far as I'm aware the wheels' finish is the original one.

 

Please do get in touch with an offer if you're interested or would like to see the car in person.

Very good price considering the mileage 

Thanks, I'm hoping to sell quickly if I can. We'll see if there's anyone out there who's interested.
