[On the market for a 245]

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.

Already sold by the looks of it, and I’m really not surprised as it was only £1600 I think. Sorry, this is why I didn’t post it.

 

Managed to find the link @tonyblue and a cached version of it with details. Might be able to contact the person. If I had seen this last week I would’ve bought that.... But I just picked up a black one with cruise control and parking sensors 54 plate in black on 95,000.

All the best.

Just twigged why it didn’t come up on my search, he spelt Octavia wrong. 

That would have been perfect, the search continues.

Might be the same, but there are two for sale currently. Latest one is yellow on 59K in Canvey Island. Looks lovely!

Linky please!

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

 

The hunt continues!

[Low millage but high priced.]

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.

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.

Cheers Tony hows the KIA? You missing the vRS?

The beast is still looking fresh sir!

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

[Main dealers]

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.

A good selection on Glumtree though still not what I'd class as low millage, more low per year.

Ill keep my eyes open - hatchback/colour?

Low mileage and high spec, colour not an issue really though red or yellow if I had to choose. 

 

Need to shift my TSI first.

If you keep checking autotrader/ebay Im sure ive seen a few low mileage ones

Not since the £3.5k estate. I know they’re out there, it’s just a matter of time. 

[What detailing products have you bought today...]

Looked interesting. 

 

[Low mileage VRS, where are they?]

Looking for a while. Other than one 40k VRS, everything I’ve seen is 95k+. Most VRS have done an average of 9k per year but I would have thought there would be more low mileage examples available?

 

Don’t get me wrong, a looked after Ocy will do the miles. I’m just looking for something special to replace the mk2.

Welcome!
