If anyone's interested in purchasing a large family hatchback with silly performance, I'm ready to sell my Skoda Superb 280 because I want to try out some other cars.
2016 Skoda Superb 280
SE-L trim level
4wd and 5sp DSG
Only 50k miles (just ticked over)
2 owners (including me)
Options include DCC (electronically adjustable suspension)
Radar cruise control
Heated seats
Electric drivers seat with memory settings that include mirrors
Android Auto/Car Play
Auto lights and wipers
Just been serviced at Palace Motors in Crouch End and had new discs and pads all round
At 40k miles it had the very important DSG and Haldex services so don't need to worry about those for a few years
Brake fluid change done at the previous service too
You might remember I had a little bump last summer, it was purely cosmetic, no damage mechanical, mostly paint traded and a dent in the front wing. It's just been repaired and they've painted the front bumper and bonnet too so it's looking really great, no more stonechips
It's absolutely huge inside and in the boot, and as it's a hatchback rather than a saloon so the seats go down for even more storage. We've driven all over the country in it and bits of Europe and it's effortless to crush miles. One of the main benefits is that the boot is so big that you can pack bikes and luggage for a week and keep the main cabin free so you don't feel cramped while driving.
Full size adults can fit in the back with plenty of leg room too.
While it's got the same drivetrain package, brakes, and electronic wizardry like launch control as the other 2.0tsi VAG performance cars (Golf R, S3 etc), it doesn't look different to a diesel Superb, the only way you can tell it's the hot version is by the fact it has a 4x4 badge and real exhaust exits (diesels have fake exits) so you don't look like a boy racer or a try hard, it's a proper sleeper and will do a Racebox verified 4.1s 0-60.
I want a forum friendly 14k for it, which makes it the cheapest 280 available online, and given the low mileage, the fact it's been well maintained, had all the important services and fluids, just had discs and pads all around, makes it good value I think.
I'll take some pics this week if anyone is interested.
