New vRS Owner to Be!

drbsheffield · 17-07-2005, 19:43

Very excited, just sorted out my latest car a new vRS Fabia, gone for Black magic, and yes I do love cleaning cars!

This will be the 6th Fabia that we have owned in our family, and I myself have owned a 1.4 classic, a 2.0 elegance too.

Drove one the other day and was totally blown away, makes the 2.0 feel slow! Have owned a BMW Z3 2.8, a Mini and a SMART Roadster in between my last Skoda and this one but must say the vRS is something else!

Got a fantastic deal from Rainworth Skoda in Mansfield, give them a call Jeremy there is excellent, got a couple in stock at the moment, I pick it up in Saturday and cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome !

I'm still waiting for 1st September for mine. They did tell me a week ago it was "on the boat"
Your lucky with them having it in stock AND in Black. Any 'options' on it?
I've specified Black Magic paint, cd changer, xenons and a sunroof. Can't wait !!

What sort of price did you get out of R M. ( my nearest dealer ) ?

Welcome

I get to drive my Sons Roadster occasionally, and find it is a car that is brilliant for a & b roads, a car that you drive and it gives good feedback.
But for motorway and quite good a & b roads the Furby definately has the torque.
Each car has its merits, and for what you want to use it for.

I have enjoyed the roadster, it was a really good buy, bought it pre reg with nearly 8k off it!!!! The main issue with it is the running costs, I am a student at the moment and with such regular servicing and short warranty receiving a trade offer that is very close to what I paid for it and a good discount on the new car I thought a swap was certainly a good thing!

I feel that the deal was really pretty good, tried another local dealer who would not come close (within £800) and rainworth even threw in the first service for free! Just gone for a totally standard spec apart from the metallic.

My mum got her fabia from rainworths and we have found them to be excellent would highly recommend them, please mention me if you do go though!!

There is a section for dealer reviews, all donations to this area are welcome as it will help others to pick out the good dealers.

(also it can help Skoda UK see how thier dealers are treating the cusomers)

Hi there.
Just wondered , did you buy your first Fabia from Worksop?
I used to work at Rainworth and think I know who you are.
But welcome anyway
