Here we have my much-loved Skoda Yeti for sale.
Summary
This one-owner vehicle has been almost fanatically well cared-for since new. It comes with full history, not just fsh, and some great extras. It has been really reliable and is in fabulous condition for its 8 years and 64,000 miles. I am asking much less than a dealer would so you might need to hurry if you are seriously interested.
I shall miss its incredible versatility, its sunroof and its terrific handling, not to mention its cleverness and build quality, but have decided it’s time to try the world of EVs.
