Diesel Skoda Fabia 1.4

    I've been searching for the right Fabia for under 4,000 for a few weeks now.
    For the first time I've noticed a 1.4 Diesel for sale (2000 reg). Its in good condition with 67,000 miles on the clock and costs 2,750. The condition, spec and price are ideal for me - but I'm not sure about a diesel.

    Does anyone have any opinions on this particular diesel engine?
    I'll only do 10,000 miles a year, so considering the initial price saving, is it worth my while, or should I avoid the temptation of the cheaper car?

    I don't want ot start a petrol v diesel thread, just interested in this particular case.

    If you are referring to this car, well it's not a diesel, it's petrol (proof)

    The 1.4TDI was not launched in the Fabia until July 2003.

    Much appreciated fellas.
    I wondered why I couldn't get a quick online insurance quote for a 2000 1.4 diesel.

    Back to the dreawing board.
