Test drove a 2018 245 DSG estate today thats up for sale at my local Skoda dealer. The results of which pretty well convinced me it was time to return to Octavia estate ownership. My only issue with the car was the lack of options fitted from new. After some thought and given amount being spent, I concluded my best option is to hold off and find a 245 with more boxes ticked. So what options should I be looking for or stay away from? Thanks guys.

Kudos for the hard work guys, awesome site for mk1 owners!

Just twigged why it didn’t come up on my search, he spelt Octavia wrong. That would have been perfect, the search continues.

Linky please!

Some goods points made there, good spot on the service history too. #forumsrock The hunt continues!

I’ve been on the hunt for a low millage good condition MK1 for a while and I’ve seen this sitting on Autotrade since Christmas. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201810261849492 Obviously the price is probably the reason it’s not sold as it’s very strong money for a VRS. For the millage, history, and described condition, is it worth a punt? I will be viewing this weekend to see if it ticks the box.

Miss the giant boot and flappy paddle action. Have a new toy now.

The beast is still looking fresh sir!

No show for me I'm afraid, sold the car a couple of months ago.

We’re looking for a Fabia to replace the wife’s Corsa and have approached Wing Skoda as I can’t find the spec I’d like second hand. Any advice or watch outs when dealing with a main dealer? I do have a Carwow offer which they will be prepared to match.

Sorry, I don't see a price?

The sun is bringing them out. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201804045208975?atmobcid=soc3

Love them in red.

Nice estate on Gumtree. https://www.gumtree.com/p/skoda/reduced-skoda-octavia-vrs-1.8t-mint-/1293050287

That’s what I’m taking about!
