Skoda is slashing the price of the previous-generation Octavia by up to

Why would you want one of those?

Only for a high power IHI conversion! Stop my mate going on and on about his damn GT4 Celica!

Cos theyve got leather and a dump valve...mmmmmm...nope cant afford it :(

But they dont have 270lb/ft and variable vane turbo geometry

or a airconditioned glovebox and can holder :P

Oh well. If it doesn't have the A/C glovebox and can holder, I don't want one anymore!

That is a BLOODY good price by any standards, but will unfortunately affect residuals for those of us who already have one. :(

Just drive it & enjoy it.

Only dealers & collectors buy cars to make money

Geoff's right - drive it some more and don't sell it just yet.

In a couple of years it will all even out and you'll be fine.

Not if you are looking to sell in the near future....!!!

I hate it when Car companies do this.. bearing in mind the absence of a Mk2

vRS or 4x4 version....

Pants!!! ( good for those considering new )

Dazz

Yeah, great, so the vRS becomes as common as the Cavalier SRi ... can't wait :(

Isnt it already??

Don't see any real problem with this - simple fact is that you could get them for about this amount anyway if you did a bit of research, mainly as everyone knew the new Octy was coming out soonish.

Can see this is a problem for some but i've never been a new car buyer anyway and tend to drive my cars into the ground so resale value has never been an issue - just drive it till it dies!!

Having seen you in action at Brunters.....you certainly do.
