After a lot of searching for one in my price range I found one that was just over at a main dealer and decided to go and haggle

Got to the dealership and low and behold one of my mates walks out and shakes my hand!! KER-CHING!

After a quick chat with Chris he tells me that he's quit his old sales job to go back to Skoda and its his 1st day so he could get me a deal...and he did!

I took the Furby for a brisk test drive and it just re-affirmed my love for that torquie (sp) diesel engine.

I had a sly word in Chris' ear and he said he could get some movement on the car so we decided to head back to the dealership.

After 30 mins of Chris going to and from the boss' office with various deals I finally shook on one.

So here she is:

2004 04 Skoda Fabia vRS

57k miles

Full Dealer Service History (with a major service before I pick it up)

New vRS Mats

Full tank of Diesel

Scotchguarded interior

Re-Gassed Aircon

Pictures:

Hopefully I will pick it up at the end of the week/ weekend... I CANNOT WAIT!

Steve

nice... did you get the cambelt in that major service provided?

:iagree: You need to get the cambelt done in that service if possible. It's due at 60k or 4 years, whichever comes first. As this one is at 57k, I get the feeling the previous owner got rid just before it was due as it's fairly expensive.

Yeah they are doing the Major service before I pick it up so cambelt etc will all be changed

Steve

Good lad. You've saved yourself a few quid there.

Have they actually confirmed that the cambelt etc is being changed or have they just said the words 'major service'?

Yeah they even wrote down "Major service inc cambelt etc" on the sales confirmation sheet so I think i'm good there!

:lol: Cheers mate - Just spat tea on the keyboard laughing at that!

Its a Proton

Twas my budget baby... 1.8 16v Petrol = 980kg's + 160hp + Lotus Suspension = GRIN! but it drank fuel like nothing else (50l super unleaded in 195 miles!!)

Steve

Looks like a nice and straight car, and it's the colour to have....

I am getting my Vrs on Friday , the days are getting slower.

I paid 6k

Steve

Thats a steal! good work. I would imagine the 57k would put alot of buyers off, the pd engine can be good for 200+k as some taxi drivers have found out

Just keep an eye out for the usual leaking doors and knackered suspension components and youve got yourself a bargain

Looks like a nice and straight car, and it's the colour to have....

Surely not. Black is better!!! :D

Nice price though, and good work on getting the service included.

I thought long and hard about the colour and black would have been great but I love the silver and it will go witth my styling plans very well - but they won't be revealed just yet.

Red with black wheels would have been nice but i'm going for silver and slightly euro

Steve

^^^yer red and black wheels sounds good. i was planning to do that but i am in no rush to! hope you have fun in the car man and well done again on the price!

looks like a good car you got there Steve and sounds like you got a cracking deal. Does your mate have any others in stock??

Out of interest, what was the screen price on it?

as everyone knows race blue is the ultimate colour to have:rofl: not decided on the wheels yet but maybe white speedlines?

Nice deal , nice car! Hope you have good times in her!! PS talking about Satrias , I test drove the Sport (pretend GTI - complete with the bolt on wheelarches) before I got the Fabia , I didnt like it at all plus insurance was crazy , nearly
