Evening all,

 

A long term lurker here after some advise. I've had a Fabia VRS from new. After 11 years and 144k of motoring  (and needless to say after putting 4 new Avon tyres on and having a full service) the gear box spanner appeared in the display and it now won't move. She is currently sat on the driveway looking very sad. It has been decided that I can't plough anymore cash into it and need to get something sensible (that term sensible hasn't been defined yet!) so do I scrap it or advertise it on here, ebay etc? I was thinking about breaking it but ideally just want it gone. 

 

Cheers,

Pay the small sum required to stick it in the classified section.

How much do you want for it ?

Been quoted £500 by a local breaker to come and collect. So I'd be after something similar.

Just signed up so will get some info up tomorrow. Along with pictures as it looks better in the light!

@simoncorrigan

If you let it go for £500 you are giving someone a big profit breaking it, or repairing.

The DSG would be under £1,500 to repair.

 

Was the engine OK before the gearbox played up?

The engine, clutch pack and gear box were replaced inside of warranty and have been fine up until this point. As I say it is getting to the point were I've spent a fair bit of cash on it in the last 12 months and justifying spending more when I can can get something new/newer.
