Just bought one!

Have just found this forum a few days after purchasing a Skoda Superb.
It is a 2004 silver Classic 100PD, with no alloys, no folding seats, no umbrella etc. The bodywork is pretty much perfect (odd scuff) and the interior is immaculate. It has a FSSH and has done 52k. I bought it from a colleague from work, so I know the history is good - he sold it because his wife found it hard to park and he now has a new Octavia.
I am just selling my old Nissan Primera GT on ebay and thought I would make some comparisons. At first I thought the performance would be well down (13s 0-60, compared with 8.5s) but am pleased by the usability of the diesel engine. The ride is definitely softer and the room in the back is enormous - the kids love it. It is much quieter at speed and is showing nearly 55mpg over the first 250 miles!
I am intending to keep it for a while and tow a caravan. The old Thule Primera roof rack will fit with some new feet (£20) and I have ordered a rubber boot liner too.
When back home from holiday I will silicon the pollen filter holder and check out the drain holes. The pinch bolts might be seized already, but I will get my local garage to check them out, after soaking with some penetrating oil.
Very please with the car so far - hope it will be as reliable as my old Primera. One good thing I noticed on the PD100 engine is the emissions are 149g/km, so only £120 for road tax.
Great forum - I will keep coming back...

Re: Just bought one!

I paid £4250. It has an MOT to end of June and taxed until May.
I think it is alot of car for the money.
