Good to hear, i have not driven it myself yet, but hopefully I'll like it as much as you when i take it for a test drive. And yeah I know about the price, it's quite a bit, definitely gonna find out about the chain and the paperwork for it.

Will definitely check it out! I asked the owner for all the paperwork on stuff done, if i won't see timing chain there, definitely going to ask about it!

Definitely petrol!

Cheapest MK3(Or at least it looks like MK3, comparing googled pictures) is 2014 model for 12k, which is simply too expensive. It's also 153,000km(90k in miles). I will probably offer like 7.5-7.7 if I actually see the car and it interests me. Positive thing about those accidents is that I know about two of them and I know they're pretty much nothing serious. Other 3 that I don't know of are in the same price category or lower. Since that's the only downside I found in this car so far, I'm still kinda interested.

Hey! I'm new around here and looking to buy my first Skoda, which would be Skoda Octavia vRS 2011, didn't really like touring variants so going for a hatch. My previous cars - 1. Mitsubishi Lancer 2000 - sold because it was my first car and wanted an upgrade 2. Mazda 3 2005 - sold because rust got out of control 3. (Current) Honda Civic hatch 2007 - selling because I want something quicker and more sporty? SImply want an upgrade. I was choosing between Golf GTI, Seat Leon FR/Cupra and Octavia vRS, since the best option for sale at the moment is Octavia, I'm looking into this one, I'm also located in Europe, Estonia. So, to that exact car I'm looking at: 2011 vRS hatch 2.0 147 Kw Automatic DSG 6gears(according to owner, it had a thorough repair in 2019 summer) 153k kilometers(around 90k miles) Price is 8,2k EUR(Owner said that he could go a little bit lower) Negative things about the car- 1. It kinda is out of my budget, I can get the money for it with the help of family members, not a problem, BUT if it happens to have reliability issues that would be quite bad. 2. This car had 5 accidents, two of them with the current owner, nothing major, one of them he had front bumper replaced cause he tapped a car in front from behind, the latest one just had some painting done. There's 3 more I don't know about, just know that one of them was worth below 500 EUR, one was 500-2000 and one is unknown, but the last accident before the current owner happened back in 2014.(For reference, two accidents that current owner had are worth 500-2000) Any info on reliability, thinks to look for when I go checking the car, your experiences etc, anything will help!
