Wife wary of buying a car with 50,000 miles on it- is she right?

She has come round to my way of thinking now Jamie! Fortunately I didn’t show her the thread I posted on Pistonheads about this as they were far more scathing!

Better hope she doesn’t have your STW username either :p

My mate had the second generation fabia vrs from new. I think it was the 1.4 turbo supercharged model with dsg gearbox. Bloody fast but but it drank oil and petrol. It was using about a litre every 600 miles .

he got rid while still in warranty. …

I think he got frightened by future bills…..twin clutch? Turbo and supercharged? How long will they last?

Now you are in the shit. Did she say ‘do what you want’? Those exact words? That means ‘you bloody dare’ when put through Bablefish. It’s a 1.0L Aygo for you my boy or an endless world of aggravation…
