One of my fathers mates is thinking of selling his Fabia vRS.

Spec is:

Black
Tinted windows
Chipped (by Giltraps I think)
125,000kms

What do you guys think its worth?
1980 VW Golf GTI Track Car
1995 Audi RS2
2003 Mini Cooper S (Written off - rear ended)
2005 Mini Cooper S
2006 Skoda Octavia vRS Combi
2009 Renault Megane 230 R26 (Written off - rear ended)
2013 Renault Megane RS265 Redbull RB8

What year is it? Should be a popular car even in todays climate but the kms will count a bit against it in the general appeal factor.

I would say around $15K maybe?

06' and 125kms  :o - must have been doing a lot of driving  :D

My guess is maybe $17-18K for an 06. Will be a nice car for someone.

OK, a bit of a update on this car, the owner decided not to sell it but hes toying with the idea now.
The car has done 180,000kms now, what do you think its worth?
How strong are the engines in these cars?

Well, given the uprated internals in the vRS, as long as the basics are taken care of then I'd expect it to be running well at around 350-400,000km :)

I would have thought around $10k.  The last one I saw that was asking around $15k had half those kms.

If he likes driving it, just keep doing so. You dont see many for sale second hand and they tend to sell pretty quickly. I would expect the tdi to do high milage, any reason why not?

Well, I kinda like the idea of owning it as a daily driver and use the RS2 on the weekends.
I guess my biggest concern would be the turbos life.

Turbo life? Good excuse to chuck it and get something bigger when it wears out.  :D

The Summerfield vRS is now running a Q7 turbo, NA cams and 40lb yet from my yarn with the crew a couple of weeks back is still very drivable... Plenty of room for turbo replacemnt by the sounds of it :)

Can't see it being worth a lot with NZ attitude towards cars with over 100k's let alone 200k.

Think they are cambelt.

Agree km's will scare most, and the new model is on it's way. Should be a good cheap runner for someone?
