Well it's a "Regal" brand but loads of evidence it's garrett units, not sure what type though, but I kno people only tend to run them on approx 10-13psi due to having standard internals.

200 ft/lbs of torque? Pah, you want 229 ft/lbs as standard, and over 200 ft/lbs from 1900 rpm

Although this time next year it'll be easily 280, if not 300 ft/lbs

well, it's a standard 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS, so it has:

1.9 PD TDI engine
Obviously it has a turbo
According to the book it has 130 bhp and 229 lbft, although as it's one of the later BLT engines they are quite often more, with around 150 bhp and 250 lbft from the factory.
Redlines at 4500 rpm

Since I've had it, I've fitted my Parrot bluetooth kit out of the Corsa, along with getting it fitted with cruise control last weekend, which is awesome

As I bought it from a dealer, it came with a years warranty, so it'll have to wait until at least August before it gets a remap or anything else exciting - but it most definitely will!

It's perfect for me now - very comfortable, sooo quiet compared to my Corsa, very refined, reasonably quick (and effortlessly so, due to the torque), just a much nicher place to be than my Corsa was.

Oh, and I've also covered just under 5000 miles since August, and only spent just over £500 on fuel - as it returns an easy 45 mpg, it only costs me about 12ppm to run which is perfect for my travelling lifestyle currently!

One last thing - it normally leaves whatever is behind me on a dark motorway blinded, in a cloud of smoke

Anything else you want to know that I've missed mate?

it was 6.5k pretty reasonable for the spec,
knocked him down from 6800, a4 is lovely car, but even this A3 is huge in comparisson to our previous cars, i cant imagine what driving an A4 would be like MASSIVE! lol budget yourself at around 4500 and youl get nice interior and bodywork with fsh especially the mileage you expect for that money, make sure its service history is good,
