Hello and Welcome

That sounds like a pretty reasonable price,but as usual you have to judge a car on condition etc as low mileage isn't always the sign of a great car.

As you've said loads of information in here for you.
Good luck.

Well if its done 10K miles it will be due for its first service now,as long as its not on the extended service pattern.

If it hasn't had its first service get that done in the price,and if its an 04 plate it will be needing its 1st MOT soon so get them to carry one out to make sure there are no problems on that front.
Otherwise arrange a AA/RAC check of the car.
And HIP it yourself aswell.

Check the front seats for fraying on the base,ensure all the recalls have bben done on the car.

Is it a purchase from a Skoda Dealership?

Otherwise with such low mileage i would imagine it should be a very good condition.

And yes the Nurburgring is the best place,am going 5 or 6 times this year and am currently looking into buying a place nearby.

That seems a good price. I purchased a 53 reg VRS WRC in Nov 06 with 43k for 7250.

This included a 12 month warranty and FSH.

Love the car so far
