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!!!
Ah, then that's probably what the de-badging thing is mainly about - a complex mix of peer pressure, misplaced embarrassment and, as Steve says, creating a mystique - each to his own!
Glad you like the emblem - once you understand the Crossfire, you can take the moral high ground and look with pity on the ignorant and misguided.
I found the listing for your car - in Merthyr - nicely tucked away (and disguised with a personal plate) just waiting for you! For such a nice late low mileage example, I reckon that's a pretty fair price.
