I have a moon white estate. Bought mine last december as a 2 week old pre reg with 20 miles on clock 

 

I wouldn't worry about interest.

 

Its irrelevant really. Look at the amount of interest you pay on Mortgages... eye watering.

 

All that matters is:

 

Can you afford the monthly payments?

 

Are you happy paying the monthly payments?

 

if the answer to both of those is yes and you really want the car, go for it!

 

You won't be disappointed.

It's an ex demo - obviously didn't do much demo-ing!

Pre reg and ex demo arent the same thing

 

As for interest being irrelevant, I guess that's possibly true but for me the important thing is the charge for credit to pay £3k on a £12k car seems a shed load

 

If you had to pay 25% of your house value every three years just for the pleasure of borrowing the money not so may people would buy houses , thats for sure

Nice motor mate, have you sorted out the back issues yet,so that you can keep,without the financial hit ?

I'm mulling it over.

You'd think they'd all come with Bluetooth as standard these days.

No call from Richard today so they won't be getting a penny out of me. I travelled 8 hours for my Abarth so would happily travel down south if the right car caught my eye.

Maybe he wasn't passed a message? He left a message on my voicemail this afternoon.

I was told it was Reserved.

 

Hayselden Skoda have one pretty much the same advertised for £14,117

That was about 2.30 - didn't give the impression it was reserved in his message, which included some spiel about it being a performance car.

Maybe still for sale but someone priced it too low if someone wants to buy it cash, and they are rethinking, they want a Finance Sale,

or just a nice cheap buy of a vRS Estate.

I dealt with him directly so no reason he wouldn't make a simple call. It doesn't bother me anymore as I've met a good few unprofessional sales people over the years which just seems to be par for the course unfortunately.

Seems a bit silly you missing out on a great buy because you are ****ed off that the sales team have not rang you back.

 

Why not just call again and make an appointment to view it instead of sulking? 

I think the finance rate is important and that is a little high for me.

You could recently get a 1 series sport for 249 deposit and 249 a month over 4 years because its low interest.

Additionally my Alfa Giulietta isn't much more than that deal and mine is the top spec 1.4 multiair tct, main difference is my apr is 2%.

Just my 2p's worth, its a nice car, I'd just get a low rate personal loan instead.

Still very much for sale.

Can you be bothered or have the opportunity to see what they are going to offer you?

I am curious but as I'm not sure what I want to do I think I'll hang fire. Richard emailed me this morning to say he's on holiday today but back tomorrow - I'll probably just ping him an email tonight to say I'm going to keep my present vRS until the expiry of the Skoda-approved extended warranty. Reading that some of the CTHEs are oil burners (though nowhere near the same extent as CAVEs) is off putting - as much as I love the vRS do I really want to roll the dice again?

As i keep saying, good shout.  

You have a good one and can put another Warranty on it anyway.

Dealer still hasn't shifted this (still on their website anyway).

tbh i have a bit left to pay on my current car,have looked at various things, bank loan best i got  was 160 a month alright over 7 years but that was 13k gives me enough to finish finance  part ex my car and have money left that was with loyyds bank on line, interest was £1168 which doesn't seem to bad tbh all in all

Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Considering there's a 63 plate with 8,000 miles for the same price on Autotrader it's worth a punt. 

Just looked on the SUK website and the amount of used VRS's have gone down ten-fold.

 

I remember around 6 months ago there were 120+ hatches and 20 estates.

 

Now, there are 20 hatches and 1  'used' estate with 59 miles on it!

There were similar numbers advertised on Autotrader right up until last year when the number then starting going down.

Quite a rare car and more so the estate with under 3,000 on the UK roads from 5 years of production.

 

(1 dealer has a Blue vRS advertised as a S2000 on Autotrader.)

I like rare .

This is pretty rare,  not many 1.2 3 cylinders around that look like this.
