| Briskodian  | Whats she worth? Right fellow briskodians, ive got a 2004 54 reg fabia vrs in black with 47k on the clock......... and i am thinking that i would be better off with something stupid to drive around in. So what you recon its worth? Heres the details, Black magic fabia vrs on a 54 plate with part service history. 3 previous owners. Sach race clutch and pressure plate + brand new DMF Re-map to 170bhp graph to prove All front suspension overhauled using cupra and powerflex bushes 312mm audi front brakes with brand new discs and pads choice of imaculate standard wheels with brand new toyo tyres or/and recently powder coated white wheels with same tyres. Very rare maxidot dash pod. Jabba RARB No dents to body work but usual front stone chips due to motorway miles. tax 12months and 8 months mot. Any ideas on a rough asking price? cheers john

| Re: Whats she worth? Personally I would improve the handling, and then drive it to death. I have been considering selling mine, but the cost of something 'interesting' puts me off. I have promised myself a Porsche for my 50th , so until then I will mess with my Fabia. In all honesty, running costs are minimal, they are reasonably fast for a small car, and our lovely West Yorkshire roads feck anything up anyway. An Overfinch range Rover would be a consideration though.

 After thinking about it I recon Tom is pretty much spot on with the £7750 Just about to stick it in the trader, i think it will be the 3 previous owners that will put people off so ill price accordingly. If anyone on here would like it, i cant see why they wouldnt

Average condition is Full serivce history, 6 months MOT & 6 months tax Below average condition is part service history up to 3 months MOT & up to 3 months tax. I notice your car is 3 years old with 3 owners the market will certainly lower the price accordingly as remember the next buyer will be the 4th in 4 years... thats ok on say a 997 Turbo but on a small shopping/city car thats a very high number. Finally all those modifications are really going to either vastly reduce the potential buyers as the vast majority want vanilla cars not boy racer cars or your going to have to really reduce the price. Finally remember that any modification you have added (just like options) are worth effectively 0% of what you paid for them and some mode may even have negative effects on the used value. | |

| Re: Whats she worth? Hmmm, I think certainly advertise around the mid £7k, with a view to taking about £7k or a smidge under. My estimate was just off the top of my head - I still struggle to appreciate the Fabia vRS has been around for 4 and a half years now!

| Briskodian | Re: Whats she worth? Take anything you can off it and sell it on here then you won't mind getting £6500 for the car. I advertised mine at 8.8k with all the bits, only timewasters, so sold the bits for 3k and got 8.2k for the car. |
