is it Worth it

[RandomRich]

Is it really worth spunking another £13k on an se

I loved my SE, use to wash it twice a week, drove it like I stole it, pissed over all other cars in its class an just loved it

I was thinking just buying a vRS, have a one off paint job, led lights (the R8 lights), custom interior and usual mods to handling and engine

[Babs]

Buy mine

If it were me I would buy a nice normal kitted up fabia, sunroof, xenons, cruise and leather.

The with the rest of the money mod it.


I wish i had xenons on mine

[youngsyd]

If i was you id get a job then think about a modded car...

Personal opinion and all that....

In the mean time, get a fabia tdi.

[RandomRich]

yea

[youngsyd]

Ah, right....didnt know that, thought you had sold it...and wanted another!

Sorry!

Suprised you can drive though if its that bad, without pain..

You don't know a car has been booted... You booted yours anyway, so I am not sure how much difference it is going to make.

I am sorry that you lost your car in an accident that wasn't your fault, and I hope you get on the road to recovery quickly. As Baps has said, his motor is for sale and you would avoid a chunk of the depreciation - also gaining a few more options.

You never know you might spend all the £13k on a new one and then find out that you fall in love with a mkII Fabia vrs and want one of then.

Prioritize things a bit.

You cant work due to a bad back, so why do you need a new car?

Why would it make any difference who had 'booted it' before if thats the way you drive anyway?

From personal experience if your back is that bad then a vRS should be the last car on your list you will need something with proper full lumbar adjustment (not something like the crude VAG version on their non electric seats)

[devonutopia]

£13k for a second hand SE vRS?

Simple answer is NO. I think Skoda is playing the SE / Ltd ed. thing a bit too much.

[youngsyd]

The only SE i know of at that kinda price is 0001 at rainworths in Mansfield....

But...dont do it....get a 53/54 plate vrs.

Mine was about half of 13k.......

I had more or less decided to keep it another 12 months but for 11k its yours, as you can see it as plenty of options fitted as standard along with one or two desirable extras. Can't say it as been driven round like a granny but always been treated with respect

[youngsyd]

It is a nice car, i can confirm!

[rainbow-walker]

Wouldn't buy an SE, as ESP not fitted.

By choice, wouldn't have a car without ESP.

RBW.

In your position, I'd get the job and health issues sorted, then consider car options.

Doesn't make sense in my mind to buy another SE at that money. Would perhaps be a bit different if they were available at a more realistic price...

Seconded
IMHO also I'd think about taking some calming pills and IAM driving lessons cos - from your description - it seems you're an accident waiting to happen and I'm glad you live so far away.
There must be some Billion or more drivers on this planet - but how many are Good Safe drivers.
The Fabby has brought about a touch of hooligan in me , but only in the right places and times - you don't have to race everything on the planet you know.
You got some xtra energy to spare, then channel it into something like an IAM course, a sport to take out everyday frustrations - otherwise it is only you that will suffer in the end.
And brand new cars are lovely - till you work out the economics
