Gridgway Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Sadly my fun (blatchatter owned) subaru has to go. With the addition of another driving Ridgway, I've had to buy a Skoda Fabia of all things. Hardly a fit replacement, but anyway, on with the ad... Price £3100. I have owned it for just about a year (bought from Mark Lane) and it's a fantastic car. It has been faultless in that time. Had one service and now nearly ready for some new front pads. I'll do those before it goes. It's done 93k miles. It's standard and unmolested apart from a scoobysport rear section. I've got the standard one to go with it too (along with a scoobysport front section). It comes with 3 sets of wheels. It's running on standard 17" Subaru wheels. I've got a spare set of gold OZ 18" rims with good tyres for that proper WR look. It's also got a spare set of standard 17" rims with no tyres ready for a set of winter tyres for invincible winter motoring. Pics are here On BC for the time being to keep it in the family (as it were). Graham (here is the ad from when I bought it last year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Wot, no interest? Just had the front brakes done - decided to do calipers and pads. Also got new MoT. Happy to contemplate offers on this great car! Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul abrahams Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Very tempting Graham, I was hoping someone would have bought this already. Could you mail me some details on your insurance premium and fuel consumption for this car please, just on the off chance I can persuade swmbo to trade in her focus for a much more practical car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davedlr Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I could be interested in the 3rd set of wheels for my Forester if you want to split them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Okey dokey, if you can give me a couple of weeks to get the car sold, I'll come back to you about the wheels. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul abrahams Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Well my plans were nicely taking shape, until we got the insurance quotes for the WRX My NCD is used on the 7 and swmbo has 40% on her diesel focus and yet they still want almost £2k for the annual premium. Sorry Graham, but in the words of Duncan Bannatyne, ARM OOT. Good luck with the sale, it's looks a great car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Cheers, thanks Paul. That's pretty daft insurance quote! Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 Looks like I'll need to advertise the scooby wider when I get back from my travels next week. As I am not a great fan of selling cars, I'd be happy to look at cheeky offers with a 2 at the front if there is a blatchatter who is interested!
