How Much Would You Pay For This Low-Mileage Skoda Felicia?

A low-mileage Skoda Felicia from 2000 is listed for sale in the Czech Republic, reminding us of the Fabia predecessor that helped Skoda become the mainstream brand it is today. The listing has a price of 1 million Kč ($46,738), although the company is open to accepting offers.

The Felicia was unveiled in 1994 as the successor of the Favorit, with VW Group playing a role in its development. The model was sold in hatchback, Combi, and pickup forms until 2001 when it was replaced by the first-generation Fabia supermini. In total, Skoda produced 1.4 million units of the Felicia in the Mladá Boleslav, Vrchlabí and Kvasiny factories.

So what is noteworthy about the pictured example is not the rarity or the spec, but the condition. In fact, it has traveled only 14,100 km (8,761 miles) in 22 years, with its single owner preserving it in a meticulous state. While other people drive their econoboxes without caring for dents, scratches, and maintenance, this Felicia spent its life as a garage queen.

The car retains its original paint and tires, even though the “Trumf” sticker on the C-Pillar highlighting its trim level has faded. Back in the day, full-spec Skodas (or rival models for that matter) didn’t come standard with 18-inch wheels and carbon-style trim like the upcoming Fabia Monte Carlo, but at least the Felicia “Trumf” featured body-colored bumpers, mirror caps, and door handles. This one also gets the Octavia-inspired grille and front end of the facelift. Similar to the exterior, the underpinnings and the interior are in showroom condition with the period-correct upholstery and multi-color plastics.

Under the bonnet lies a 1.3 MPI 8-valve petrol engine producing 67 hp (50 kW / 68 PS) and 106 Nm (78 lb-ft) of torque, combined with a five-speed manual transmission. While the performance credentials won’t be raising eyebrows, this fine example of a cheap no-frills car from the Czech Republic at the verge of the millennium could be of interest to local collectors. How much would you pay to drive around in a pristine, but definitely non-collectible, car like this?
