Someone on here has a car dilema and for the purpose of this survey shall remain anonymous.

This person currently has a very nice Fabia VRS but has been offered a pretty good part-ex deal on a nearly new OctyII vRS which this person could afford if he/she wanted to. The car in question is the dogs danglies i.e. has all the extras you could possibly want and in that lush blue, question is that he/she doesn't really need the car but only desires it, what should he/she do?.

Well most cars above a £150 old banger could be classed as a desire rather than a need, so if he/she really wants it he/she should go for it.

She should keep her car, because once the extra insurance and running costs have been factored in it may not seem such a good buy;)

Buy the Octy. Buy the Octy. Buy the Octy. Buy the Octy. Buy the Octy. Buy the Octy. Buy the Octy.......

Vrs Fabia diesel - 50-55 mpg

Octy VRs - 35mpg? ish I guess

Octy would be nice - if she is in the city stick to the fabia as she can park it easy - I drive a Fabia if I have to go to the city just because it fits in tiny gaps.

Depends what the PX deal is like....

Has she test drove the Octy VRS?

He (Stu?! ) should ditch his Fabia and get a proper sports car (Fabia 2.0 anyone?)

Chris

they don't really need a Fabia vRS either...if they can comfortably afford to own and run the OctyII vRS I say get it - It's going to be quicker and probably more comfy too

Last week only got 23 mpg from swmbo around town, still worth it imo but costs are double the Fabia.

Octy 2 vRS in white

Or a Golf GT 1.4 (wicked drive )

Any more detail ?.... I have been fairly interested by this engine since they first announced the 1.4 Turbo and Super-charger concept ages ago . Puts out 140 bhp doesn't it?

Go for it stu you know it makes sense:D but don't tell chrissy till you got it on the driveway

More than my life is worth.

Another option

Buy a 2.0 Octy PD 140 Derv Elegance - Like I am. Then take it to Jabba

A nice car it maybe but it ain't quite in the same league as the vRS .

Or if economy's a worry, hold off for the 170bhp model (and get it Custom Coded )....

Certainly some cheap Octy II vRS's out there now. £15495 for one here.MIght wait 12 more months and hopefully looking at £12k

That's not cheap for a basic car.

A new pre reg one here for £15672 http://www.autoebid.com/carDetails.asp?locator=32904&sec=0

or brand new for £15926

New for £15995 here - http://www.autofinders.ltd.uk/OrderDetail.php?recordID=473

and I think there are cheaper to be had. The problem lies with the PX and adding options.

If I could I would.

If you want it and can afford it.......

Bah, no longer anonymous :( still, another one on the slippery slope

Don't you think I've spent enough already?

Might be some bargain Fabia mods coming on the market soon though.

Drop me a PM. Although scanning your list you have mods I either already have or can't fit.
