Yeah how they thought that looks good is beyond me! Hoping the alloys look better in the flesh. Just hoping it's easy enough to get rid of the clio if I do like the VRS. Really is the best estate I can find for under 5k.
This being so much under makes it a no brainer really.
No idea why the dealer has even kept them on, or why he hasn't replaced the grille either! Madness.
Profit margin is small on cars of that value. They want to wipe a wet rag over it and send it off to its new owner, anything else is money out of their pocket.
They do seem a nice compromise of space, price and performance.
Does it need to have FSH? Service it yourself, change the cam belt and just use it. They are throw away money now and make good money back in parts if they break beyond economical repair, which is rare.
Theres an interesting black estate on Briskoda that has been for sale for what looks like forever. Problem for you is it is on the south coast !
He started at 2200 and its now down to 1600. Looks ok, but it probably needs a bit of work. But in reality, what 1600 quid car doesn't? can't be many.
Well my ownership of vRS didn't last too long, had a momentarily lapse before Christmas into the back of a stopped car on a slip lane and the vRS is no more !
Negotiating a payout with the Insurer's at the moment and will probably look at a 2.5T Mondeo or 2.5 Mazda 6 as my next car.
Gutted to lose it as really enjoyed driving it, but I don't want to buy another one and constantly compare it!
Sorry to hear that! hope Insurance payout goes through smoothy. Maybe give its some time before the vRS urge returns
Sounds about right. I bought mine at 50k miles and it had already been done, which was a bonus.
Let me know if that issue is definitely the PCV valve! You'll probably find my forum posts on the briskoda about it as someone else diagnosed it for me, before the garage confirmed it . It's quite a common issue with the vRS
Took a while as I've not had time to put it in, but it turned out that it was both the oxygen sensor and idle control valve. They fixed the sensor first and it was improved but still not right, then I got it back yesterday with a new idle control valve and it's all good
Ah right, glad to hear you got it sorted! How much did that set you back?
On a side note, I've put a deposit down on a Metallic Blue 09 vRS and going to pick up from Skoda on Saturday. Can't wait to be back in the vRS
Yeah it's lovely not to have an orange light on my dash all the time! Got it sorted under warranty, so free
Bet you must be well excited! I do really like the blue ones, would have had one over a black if I could find one nearby when I looked.
Bit of a bonus
Looking forward to it, although I've had a Seat Leon FR as a hire car this week, which i've thoroughly enjoyed Black was my 2nd choice, but I'm travelling about 3 hours to go and get this one!
Planning any mods to it? I would like to get a remap sometime this year and then a K04 conversion at... some point
Does the Leon drive quite similarly?
