So on Saturday I picked up a LE octavia vrs.. Really pleased with it. 

Wife wanted a small hack around. We have had a fabia vrs for a couple of years before that she loved. A quick look on gumtree we found one 7 miles from our house.. 

So sunday off we went.. 

It's black completely original. 212000miles. Only one owner from new only ever been to Skoda for everything. Its been serviced with anything it needs every 40k. New tyres every 6 months uni royal rain sports in winter and continentals in summer., been looked after money no object

It shows.  It's so clean, no know rattles bangs drives brilliant 

All for £1200 

Wifey is very happy. It's a crack little car! 

 

Only thing we need is new cap/insert on gearknob

Where's the best place to get one

 

 

Thanks

Pete 

Just buy a new gearknob complete with cap.

Sounds like a very good bargain.

Confirming it's a Fabia, keep it under your hat or everyone will want one!

Even the wheels look good. Mine is a 55 plate and they've turned into bubbly horrors.

 

That headrest burn must have really irritated the previous owner. As the car looks to have been maintained to a fantastic level.

thanks

yeah it really is a cracking car, the wife loves it, i steal it whenever i can!

Any mods? I would suggest cruise control, boot nets and a Whiteline rear ARB....

 

If it dives under braking (and that is irritating), 20-30mm drop in springs. Eibach or AP.
