Skoda Fabia VRS 54 Plate - 5000 miles - £10,000
I have this car for sale as I want to buy another Impreza, I originally bought the VRS to save me some money on fuel but i've since switched jobs and can afford to run an Impreza again 
So, the Fabia VRS is for sale, its Metalic Silver, has 5000 miles, unmarked like new, although i'm going out tomorrow with my Zymol products so it'll look better than new.
Its the usual 1.9 TDI engine, with 130hp as standard, discs all round, electric mirrors, electric windows, air con, 60mpg on long trips, always over 30 around town and in between the rest of the time, mostly I get 38mpg and thats driving 7 miles to work in London which is stop start all the way!
The reviews say 60 comes up in 9.7 secs but thats utter rubbish, i've only ever timed it by counting but it feels more like 8secs, from 50-90 its very responsive, much more so than when my old UK scoob was still only on 215hp. The TDI's can be remapped to around 180hp and you're looking at 300lb/s torque which will make a lot of things look silly on the motorway from 50 onwards.
Only change over factory spec is a Kenwood MP3 player, rest of the car is totally untouched.
I reckon its worth £10,000 to the right person, and thats priced to sell so no offers, there are load on Auto trader in worse condition with more mileage for £11,000 and up, so the price is there to cut out the hagling, dont contact me if you arent willing to pay £10k because thats the price and it isnt changing.
I'm in North London (Edmonton/Enfield Area).
No part ex's considered thanks unless you have a 99 STI 5 or similar. (has to be near standard as insurance was the reason i sold my mint UK MY99 TD05'd up scoob)

Just to give you an idea of how the wheels look

Bttt for you, if I hadn`t bought a Focus TDCi last month I would have had it. A local dealer wanted £11,700 for one and I just couldnt stretch to that. Have you tried selling on www.briskoda.co.uk

Thanks, its already on there, put it up before they did thier all day work on thier servers today
On the price, yeah i'm hoping the reasonable price will help shift it.
I'm either going to get a stanard STI 5 or get a much cheaper UK MY99 then decat and remap, what I did wrong last time was to stick bits on my impreza until I ran out of money then had £2000 insurance to pay. This time I'm keeping the mods to a minimum so I can afford to keep my new one for ages
