My fabia vrs has been in the family since it was brand new in Jan 2007, it has covered 51000 miles and has been serviced every year at skoda. Its kept in the garage and we use it as the weekend/show/fun car, it has been genuinely looked after and not modified in any way. It doesnt get used much now with the occasional drive here and there, everytime i drive the car there is an instant smile on my face and i have enjoyed every mile of it. Im debating on either selling it and getting something else or keeping it, any advice would be appreciated or maybe there are some other long term vrs owners that still have or sold their cars

Keep it. Nothing else will give that much enjoyment for the value. Miss my vRS too. 

Keep it.  We sold a mint 53 plate car back in 2014.  We were the second owners.  I know I shouldn't have sold it but it was just sitting on the drive and had only covered 1k miles in the final year we had it.  It had done 47k miles. Only covering 23k miles in it's first 8 years of it's life. 

 

I so wish I had kept it.  I've been to see a fair few that are for sale and none of them have been anywhere like the condition or low mileage of ours.  The market is awash with people claiming 'future classic' for some absolute sheds, with close to 200K miles and commanding some ludicrous prices.  You'd be very lucky to find a good one.  Enthusiast owners will be very reluctant to let them go and they are the cars you really want!  

 

BUT if you do decide to sell it then give me a shout. 

Thirded!

A quick look on autotrader shows that the vrs market is full of high milleage abused cars that have no optional extras and are covered in rust, worth noting that mine has xenons, satnav, heated seats, third rear headrest and a cd changer, ive also spent a week fully detailing and ceramic coating it so i think that ill get the wheels refurbed and hang on to it unless something really tempting pops up.
