PHOTOS ADDED 03 Octavia vRS Estate for sale, £1750 but open to offers

[BlackMaria]

Standard vRS estate for sale.

 

This car has covered 123k and had a new cam belt kit (belt, hydraulic tensioner, idler and water pump) at 118k.

At the same time the oil pick up pipe and oil pump were replaced and the engine thoroughly flushed to remove any oil build up.

I recently changed two of the coil packs as well.

 

At the same time as the service items above, I also changed the front and rear shock absorbers using genuine Skoda part.

Also had two new Goodyear Efficient Grip tyres on the front a couple of months ago.

 

MOT until June 2016.

 

The car is half black leather, half white cloth interior which is in good condition throughout, accepting some signs of age, but no rips or tears.

Air conditioning is still ice cold.

The engine uses no oil or coolant whatsoever.

 

The car runs beautifully in all driving, from a quick trip to the shops to a 10 hour journey travelling to the south coast and back.

I regularly get 37mpg and have made over 40mpg on long steady runs.

 

180bhp 1.8T engine is sweet as a nut and is very rewarding to drive - it's very gentle at lower revs, but has some real go about it when on fast country lanes.

 

It's been a great car but I've decided to get a diesel because I have a new job which involves a lot of driving.

 

Things that I want to point out.

The tailgate has some rust below the window (shown in the photos), but I have a spare tailgate with no rust in the same black which I will throw in.

There are a couple of chips in the windscreen, but they are not an MOT failure.

The engine light is on but I am told it is just a sensor - it doesn't affect the way the car drives, and again is not an MOT failure.

 

I'm based in Manchester, and I'm happy for you to come and view the car, and test drives are fine as long as you can demonstrate that your insurance covers you to drive the car (I still have it insured).

 

Thanks for looking.

Get in touch and grab yourself a retro classic!

Attached are a load of photos from various angles, showing the inside and out, plus the rust on the tailgate.

I've also included a shot of the replacement tailgate.

 

Any questions, please ask.
