Hi All,
I'm looking at getting a used Skoda but with my budget i'm looking at the early MK3 which have high mileage.
I have come across 2 cars that i'm at cross roads with. I would welcome the opinion of anyone here.
1) Skoda Octavia 2013 - SE Estate - has 70k miles, great service history and has the Water Pump and Cambelt changed ay 48,000miles. (2018)
2) Skoda Octavia 2014 - Elegance - 104k miles- great service history, and has the water pump and Cambelt changed at 91,000 miles (2021)
The 2014 elegance is 1k cheaper.
I am ultimately looking for car that i can get the most lifetime out of it.
What do people think here? is the 2013 lower mileage - the better option. Or is the 2014, higher spec trim but with much higher miles ( but very recent cambelt and WP) the better options.
Id appreciate anyones thoughts here.
