Two weeks ago I traded in my facelift 3.2 elite at a main skoda dealer for a Superb 2.8 v6 elegance. As it was coming up to ten years old I felt that it would probably start to need more TLC than I, as an old age pensioner, was prepared to give it. It has just surfaced on Autotrader at a small dealer in Cadnam although the dealer has missed the fact that it has a telephone. The pictures brought a huge wave of nostalgia as it was the best car I have ever owned. I am going to stay on the forum though.

Do you have the link matie? :y

Sad news Mart but still, you've got the Skoda to keep you mobile - and that's the important thing. :y
It's good to hear that you're keeping your membership open. 8-)

Bodywork is good - only minor scratches. It always used more oil than my previous 3 .0 omegas but still well within manufacturers spec. I had it maintained by a good vx dealer. It also has a 2010 satnav disc in it.
So far I like the skoda - it seems a very good second best to the elite - but if they still made omegas!!!

The Superb's are superb, but I think to change the cambelt the whole front end has to come off on a V6 :o
-
Fortunately I spotted that it was due its first cambelt change on age not mileage and the dealer agreed to do it without a quibble so I should be OK for the next four years

They are, but in my opinion a much better car, the V6 is lovely, they're superbly comfortable, masses of legroom, they're just a great all rounder :y

And they come with an umbrella in the rear door pocket!

I don't know how much DNA the Volkswagen Audi Group cars share but....
on SWMBOs Golf the front end isn't the nightmare to remove that I anticipated. It's a little like having to remove the inlet plenum or skuttle on an Omega V6. Once you get used to the idea that it is necessary (and learn the easiest way to remove it) it's not so bad. ::)

Nice one, cheers :y

Many thanks for the nice comments - they could have all begun with "You're an idiot". The nice people on here is one of the reasons why I am staying on the forum. I am always amazed by the stuff that people on here know and by the way that they are prepared to go out of their way to help others - sometimes literally.
-
That's a hell of a lot of car for the money for someone. Hopefully the new owner will find the forum :y
Good to see your staying around, there's quite a few Skoda owners on here now!
-
It looks like a very clean, genuine mig, and someone will be very lucky if the buy it, thats for sure!
I'll probably get slated for asking this, but what did they give you for it on the trade-in? Can't have been much at all if a local dealer can advertise it for that, and still make a profit!
Make's me feel ill to think what mine (isn't) worth... :-/
