Octavia vRS for £5k ?

[Jimbob2002]

What are the odds of getting a decent diesel vRS for £5000 Sterling(2004-2005), my preference is for one of these as my next motor but i think i might be dreaming and end up getting a Fabia vRS :(

If i do see one for that price are there any paticular problems that crop up in those years in the model ? Thanks in advance for any replies

The diesel octy RS was not introduced until a lot later than 2005, even the petrol was not introduced until 2006. Prices are also holding a lot higher than 5K, obviously because the car is much newer. You can get a MK1 petrol vRS though, but it may not be what you are after. For an early MK2 petrol you are looking at at least 7K. The cheapest diesel is around the 9-10K mark.

There is a couple of 06 petrol,s for sale in the autotrader for around 5k but they are high mileage. Look ok though,full history etc.

[Jimbob2002]

I have seen afew 2005 mk2's just all awfully high milage :(

Was there a diesel vRS in the Skoda I ? I don't remember one, i could be wrong tho

[bond007]

not a vrs, that wasnt brought in till the mk2 in the 170bhp form same as the golf gt sport and leon fr

Research the DPF issues with a diesel before buying, odds are a high miler may bring you problems that are very expensive if you go through a dealer. Do a trawl through this forum, there are loads of posts about it.

Yep, Mk2 vRS diesels weren't until a 56-plate, so at the earliest Sept 2006. And the earliest petrol Mk2 vRSes would be a late 2005 on a 55.

The next best option, if you're set on a Mk2, is the 2.0 PD140. Obviously not in vRS trim though.
