Advise On Purchase Of Skoda Felicia 1998 Model Car For 150k by joyafoma: 9:20am On Jan 29, 2016 |
I have an offer to purchase a neatly used Skoda Felicia 1998 model for 150k. I have seen the car and it seems so much in order just that the shocks needs to be worked on. Ac working too. Owner says he is in urgent need of cash. However, i have hardly seen anything written about this car and i do not know much about cars even. Please i need advise urgently on the wisdom of buying this car for a managing young woman. Kindly respond if asap if you can help advise me properly. Thanks |

The 1998 Skoda Felicia is mechanically identical to the Volkswagen Golf III. All Felicia engines, with the exception of the aluminium 1.3L 8V pushrod engine, are Volkswagen engines. 1.6 8V petrol, or 1.9 8V diesel engines. Suspension, brakes and gearbox are also Volkswagen Golf III units. So reliability will be good, on a par with the equivalent Volkswagen Golf III. Volkswagen Golf II parts are also compatible, so there is an unlimited source of mechanical and some electric parts. The only parts that are Skoda Felicia specific are body parts, glass and lights. At N150,000 it is a decent buy. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Mr Sienna just gave you detailed explanation but you may not be able to get body parts easily (if you will ever need it though) from what he said. Just be careful sha. When a car is that cheap, trust me, something isn't right. Talking from a very nasty experience. All the best ma. 1 Like |

Thanks a bunch Siena. I really really appreciate. I think since i don't have more Dan 200k for a car now, based on ur analysis, i will go for the car after a mechanic have checked it that it is in order as claimed by the owner. I just hope for the very best till i have more cash for a bigger car. Tnx once more and God bless u Siena: 2 Likes |

joyafoma: i guess he didnt know that skodas use VW engines i guess to him its a car he doesnt know about The car manufacturer was acquired by Škoda Works in 1925[3] and later became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group in 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0koda_Felicia 3 Likes |

ZIMDRILL: Zimwit you should stop helping me think. joyafoma: a 150k car is not always a good deal. How many do you see on the road? Where will you get the body parts? When you are ready to move on and get another car what value will you get out of it? Don't jump at a car cause it's cheap, it has volkswagen parts, but the equivalent gof vehicle will not sell At that price unless there was somthing terribly wrong with it. Wish you good luck, get a mechanic to check properly before paying for vehicle. 3 Likes |

Siena: Good morning Sir. Tnx once more for dis advice. I got some more cash so i did'nt go for d skoda again but ever since i have been moving from one location to d oda in Lagos state wt my new born baby inspecting one car or the other that i saw on line. My brother, its so tasking and expensive. People lie a lot. Am just fed up. I was advised to go for Toyota or Nissan but d main issue i guess is dt my budget is quite low- 250k to 300k. And i need a car i can buy and drive anywhere in Nigeria without having to spend extra cash on it for now. Right now am at the end of my tether. I just felt i should come to you for help since u kno much about cars and have access to cars. Please sir, can u help me get a car that is ok for my price. I prefer wagon but salon is still ok and any year is fine just let it be good car and auto drive. Thanks so so much. 1 Like |

joyafoma:i will advice you not to rush.my younger brother got a 190 e for 280k and believe me this car drives like mad.the car is clean in every sence.the owner has soo many other cars at home and had parked the 190 for over a year. that car came on after 2 cranks. fuel economy is geat,no suspension problems.infact the car changed my orientation about benz.what im trying to say is,keep your money,try to save more and the right deal may just be around the corner. no money in town and people are selling their cars cheaply |
