Is this car worth it please help

[Lilacinspace]

Hi I’m on the fence about buying a car quick back story is I really need a car as now without one the main contender is

2018 Škoda fabia 64k miles automatic 2 owners it’s £11k the dealer has had it 6 months
what’s everyone’s thoughts on this ?

Other options are Škoda fabia auto 2018 29k miles £12,800

juke auto ( really unsure if it’s too big ) 2017 39k
£13k

more than likely the juke will be too big as it’s my first auto what’s your opinions on the fabias all cars have had 2 owners and they said full service history I’ll be checking this obvs

thank you it’s a big purchase from savings so really need help

The three things I suppose I'd do to help me think it through are:
Check the secondhand guide price for the cars, consider an independent valuation/check, and carefully review any dealer warranty.

I've just bought a manual fabia. 20 plate, 17, 000 miles for 13, 400
Does it have to be automatic? I didn't price those because I love changing gears. On the surface it seems a bit expensive to me but perhaps that's auto for you
Have you checked the book price?

As above.

I know used cars are pricey at the moment, but they seem exceptionally so.

The Fabias - do they both come with a warranty?

On the face of it, the more expensive one looks the better buy - but if one comes with a decent warranty and the other doesn't, that could change my mind. The fact that one has been there six months wouldn't worry me, as automatics don't have as strong a resale market - but it would make me more inclined to haggle. They will want it off their forecourt.

Good luck!

They come with a standard 3 month warranty , all 3 dealers have good reviews
yes it has to be automatic
The 11k one is down from 11.5 they won’t go any lower . Not haggled on others yet
The thing I’m also concerned about is the 11k one has a panoramic roof so I’m unsure as never had one .

Is that a skoda dealer?
Mine came with 12 months warranty. 2 years if you used finance

Juke’s are actually pretty small inside, they appear bigger than they are. Nice to drive too as are most Nissans in my opinion. I had one but found it too small once we had a baby.

Of the three, the 2nd one seems the better value to me. 35,000 miles is three years wear & tear for me.

A 3 month warranty is not that generous. Mine came with 12 months. Have you looked anywhere else?

No all are just used dealers not Škoda, having big reservations about the 11k panoramic sunroof .
im going to see the juke Thursday to check it out size wise . I’m without a car so need to decide next week other options I’ve not been to see is a little Suzuki Celerio ( just as a run about for a year ) 51k miles £6.5k

seat Ibiza 17 plate 12k 60k miles however I think this also has a sunroof need to double check

The Fabia doesn’t score especially well for reliability, I’d also be looking at the Jazz, Yaris, i20 and Swift - these all come close to the top of the list for small car reliability.
