Hi everyone, I have skipped across from scoobynet. About to change my WRX for an Octavia vrs. I have seen one for sale at the dealer in Cardiff. It is silver ( my prefered colour ) oct 02 52 with 10,000 miles, one owner and is immaculate.

They have offered it to me for

I just got a VRS, an 03 , did my first drive this weekend, 300 mile round trip, mostly motorway, 36mpg ! way happy. That was not trying to be economical!

Andrew.

An oct 2002 octy came as standard with a 3yr 60k mile warranty from the factory, this will therefor be due to run out in oct 2005, so you dont need to pay any extra for that.

The octy vRS is holding its value really well, compared to the scooby. My July01 Y reg with 45k miles on the clock is still worth more than 7.5k.

Almost forgot .welcome by the way.

Sounds like a good deal

I don't drive very sensibly and I get about 30-32mpg when doing big mway miles (including absolutely gunning it down sliproads )

... seriously, you can't go wrong

Welcome :wave:

I reckon you should hassle them for the Tax as well

Driving sensibly, on cruise, i tend to see 400-420 miles out of a full tank, which is somewhere in the region of 35 mpg.

Mine I used to get about 38 on a M-way trip travelling at 80-85

A roads, about 35

Blatting it mid 20s

Track about 11

Plenty of ex-scoob owners on here, they seem pretty happy with the change.

Oh and welcome to the board :wavey:

Thanks everyone, anyone had any experience with White Dove in Cardiff ? The sales guy was nice enough, but his knowledge of cars was terrible. He asked me if my WRX was 4WD or 2WD model, and also when asked if the vrs had traction control he did not know, even after I pointed out the de-activation button on the dash !

I think with 12 months RFL the deal could be done !

Welcome :wave:

Driving sensibly! :eek:

Who drives an Octy VRS sensibly?

Why am I not surprised that yet another Scooby owner is thinking of defecting to Skoda? Welcome, Koads. You will be in good company here.

Driving sensibly! :eek:

Who drives an Octy VRS sensibly?

In the land of the Speed camera, the driver with the sensitive right foot is king

There's a time & a place for hoofing it, and it's not unknown for me to drive like petrol is free, as some on here will testify

Any other time, i take it easy.

Driving sensibly! :eek:

Who drives an Octy VRS sensibly?

A taxi wannabe?

Sounds like a good deal, but I'd deffo haggle for the tax

Koads

Welcome to Briskoda :wave:

Just for real cheek, Has it got Cruise or Prking sensors. If not tell the dealer you have 10500 cash + RFL + full tank of fuel, If he accepts then BITE his had off and run before he realises whats happened.

Steve

( Oh ! you will find parking sensors usefull specialy coz of the high boot ) can get cruise retrofitted, from a Briskoda member .

Hi and welcome, deal sounds about right (I paid 11250 for my 03 vRS with 12K 2 months ago) but try and get any extras if you can. Generally I get around 35-36 mpg although that does include a fair bit of hill driving
