Hello folks,

 

First time buyer, and I was hoping to tap into some of the knowledge on this forum. I'm looking at buying a 2013 Skoda Fabia Estate TSI, around 55k miles and in good condition for £7k. Was wondering whether anyone has owned a mk2 Fabia estate (or combi) and whether or not they would recommend it? I'm not looking for anything particularly speedy, I'm more concerned with reliability and economy. I'm also wondering how spacious the boot length (with the seats down) is, I'm a keen mountain biker and have a particularly long mountain bike with a wheelbase of 1260mm. My friend has a mk7 golf (a similar size to the fabia estate) and It's barely fits in the back with the front wheel off, so if anyone can comment on this that would be really helpful. The car isn't the best looking in the world, and i know it's a sellers market right now but £7k is a fair sum considering the new mk4 Fabia is now on the road. Any thoughts on this would be very welcome.

 

Thanks!

Welcome.

 

What are you looking at a 1.2 TSI or a 1.4 TSI vRS? 

 

Mk3 Estates are available but there are not going to be Mk4 Estates. 

There is one member in the Mk4 section register with a Hatch and they are not in the UK.

Sorry, the 1.2 TSI.

There are 2015 Mk3 Estates advertised at around £7,000 & that is the asking price so not necessarily the price you need to pay.

Ones on Autotrader and elsewhere.

 

 

 

@Mickmartinposted in the thread about bike carriers that he gets 3 bikes in his estate so he can maybe comment when he see this.
