I thought i got it for a very good price, and if you had looked on ebay then you would have definatly seen it. The dealer had it up for 6999, i got it for 6850, i dont mind telling people what i paid. It wasn't too far for me, a couple hours drive, but probably not easy for others to get to which was lucky for me.

cheers for all the nice commets.

As for the badge thing, I am a massive badge snob, i would never buy a skoda because of this despite many of my friends owning excellent VRs's and they are nice, the Chrysler for me was similar until i drove the first one, then all that went away!!!
