Market lore says - "small car, odd number of doors good. Big car, even number of doors good".

Small cars work best as hatchbacks so I'd go for that. It'll be easier to sell.

off topic but I think the estate is nice, and has the rear wiper from the RS6.

Trainspotting at its worst...

Deadlocking means that when you lock your car, even if a thief smashes the window and tries to open the door using the handle inside, it won't work.
I would normally advise against white cars but the Fabia looks well....particularly with the alloys. As mike said, small cars trying to be big cars don't generally tend to sell well or look nice....Polo saloon for eg

I am not usually a fan of white cars either but I have to agree that the Fabia looks well in white.

Also as the others have said a saloon in the supermini segment don't usually sell in large numbers simply because they are not as practical as their hatchback equivilant and hence are more difficult to sell on. Imo I think the Fabia saloon is weird looking anyway and the boot looks like an after thought.

By the way I noticed the white Fabia has 43k miles on the clock. The timing belt will probably need replacing soon if not done already. Either get them to change it as part of the deal or use it as a bargining tool in the price.

Best of luck.
