I know I haven't had the car long, and I had planned on keeping it a while... but I really miss my old Superb (and I mean really :() and want to get another... so this beauty has to go. If I don't sell it it won't be the end of the world for me, but I have to scratch the Superb itch once more.

 

I bought the car off Stu08, another Briskodian, who'd had most of the mods done in his ownership.

His for sale thread is here > http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/351894-2006-mk2-octavia-vrs-20-tfsi-hatchback-stage-2-provisionally-sold/

 

 

I gave him £4k for the car, and have since spent just over £1k getting things that needed doing sorted.

This included:

£400 for a new a/c compressor and fitting, and regas

£350 on full front end respray to eradicate the many stone chips

£100 on a TTS replacement engine cover that fits with the induction kit

 

Also a couple of hundred pounds have been spent on minor modifications, including vinyl wrap, dash cam, pressed plates, plate surrounds and other bits and bobs to make it better.

 

 

Car was MOT'd on 07/05/15 and went through with no advisories

 

 

I can honestly say this car doesn't have any knocks/rattles/squeeks and really does feel like a car with only half the miles as everything has been replaced and improved.

 

It is definitely the fastest car I have owned, and the Shark map is so smooth and flawless, that you really do have to be careful with the right foot, so please bear that in mind if your thinking of buying it.

 

My build thread I started is here, with more pics > http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/355565-damos-2006-octavia-vrs/

 

 

All in all this is a great car, that has been made even better, and now looks as good as it drives.

 

As for the all important price, I paid £4k for it, and spent over £1k getting it mint, so I would be wanting £4750

 

Not a lot to pay for a very well sorted car

 

PM me for more info

 

Thanks for reading

Surprised your selling it but you've got to do what you've got to do and all that. All the best with the sale a lovely car made even nicer, the only shame I was following your thread on this one LOL.

Thanks fella

 

Like I said, if it doesn't sell I'm not fussed, just missing my old superB.

 

Just been out in it to drop daughter off at work, and not sure whether I'm doing the right thing selling tbh.

 

But if its meant to be it will sell, if not then no worries.

 

Cheers for the kind words 

[Mr G 76]

Wow,didnt expect this!,

In my eyes, one of the benchmarks for modded Mk2's, and the recent mods have only made it better.

GLWTS, someone's gonna get a great car!

[Damo]

Thanks Mr G

[vrsadz]

Glwts how come your selling damo fancy a change. Get a v6 superb lol

[Damo]

Glwts how come your selling damo fancy a change. Get a v6 superb lol

 

Wish I'd have kept my SuperB now :(

 

Really missing it

 

This is fast and fun, and a great car, but I like my SuperB's

 

Not in a rush though, if this sells then I'll find a good one then... But in the meantime I'm happy driving around in this 

 

That V6 is nice, but I'm a Combi man in SuperB guise

[Damo]

Seen a car I like, so ovno considered

 

Cheers

Bloody awesome car and you have tidied it up very nicely Damo!

 

Someone is going to get a real corker of a vRS here.

 

GLWTS

[Timmyboy]

Nice looking car

 

Did you manage 280bhp without a replacement HPFP?

[Damo]

Thanks and yes.

 

It was 275 on Sharks rollers, before the S3 intercooler was fitted, which conservatively should add at least 5hp more

[Paul thornton]

Had to try really hard to resist this last time it was for sale.

Now its more local I'm going to have to try even harder....

[skinnyman]

If I was looking for a quick family car, this one would be ideal.  I remember it when it was up for sale last time and now it's even tidier.  Good luck Damo as I'm sure someone will snap this up pretty quickly.

[bonelorry]

Someone is going to get a cracking car here! Hope it goes to a good home and stays with an enthusiast

 

Good luck with the sale Damo

[Damo]

Thanks for the kind words Simon.

 

Thought I'd have had a bit more interest from enthusiasts on here tbh.

 

Guessing I'm going to have to advertise it elsewhere... which is a shame :(

[Chorlton]

Do you have to use a specialist insurer for something with so many modifications?

[Damo]

I went with Adrian Flux. £390 fully comp with all mods declared.

 

Very happy with that.

 

Better to go with specialist insurers, they are more understanding of modifications and it doesn't always mean the price will be that much higher

[scoobytoyz]

Is this hpi clear and accident free with two keys?

[Damo]

Is this hpi clear and accident free with two keys?

 

Yes, and Yes

[Paulbrown]

Bloody hell :(

Why's this happening :(

I was gonna pick your brains for part and what to do next with mine :(

[Damo]

Bloody hell :(

It might not happen yet mate

Still undecided, and not even advertised it elsewhere.

Every time I go for a drive, I just think I'm mad to sell it, it's awesome...

But I was mad to sell my Superb in the first place :(

[Auric Goldfinger]

Epic Motor Damo

Just a thought though, seeing as your the South Yorkshire Godfather you should get one of these

[Damo]

Had some serious interest from an interested Briskodian, but sadly a deal couldn't be struck.

 

Still for sale

[Damo]

Air con has a slight leak, which my garage has traced down to the evaporater. 

 

With that in mind I will drop the price to £4500

 

That is honestly the only thing that needs doing on this car

 

Anybody to view/drive won't be disappointed

 

Cheers

[Chan110]

U always seem to have the nicest Skoda s to own, Damo!!!

 

 

But good luck with the sale
