I’m looking to buy my first vrs but finding one has been difficult. I have a few questions.

 

Will £1500 be enough to get something decent?

what should I look out for when viewing?

what would you consider “high miles”?

How strong are the engines?

where would you look for one?

 

thanks

 

Are you talking about a mk1 or mk2?

 

Sorry mk1

£1500 should get you a early one, later ones go for about £2500 on Auto trader.

 

The 1.9 TDI is a strong unit, so make sure it’s been serviced regularly and it will eat up the miles.

 

Worth a look on here see if someone is selling a Fabia on here.

Had a look but seems no one is selling them

They will come I got a 54 for 1700 guy owned from new only 93thousand.

check for rust rear arches 

check for rattling from the dmf

check no funny noises turbo 

check no gearbox whines 

check engine isn’t tappy canshafts common to fail 

look on the fabia vrs facebook page. usually loads for sale. Some questionable quality but overall i'd say it's the cheapest place to get one
