2008 Octavia vRS TFSi Estate for sale

Featured Replies

Hi All

**NO REASONABLE OFFER REFUSED**

I'm on a nightshift break and have decided to see if there's any interest in my car. My work PC doesn't have access to my pictures, but I'll update this post as soon as possible with a few shots of it.

Please ask if there's anything I forget, as it's been a long day!

August 2008 (08) TFSi Octavia Estate in Race Blue

Mileage is 14,950

In excellent condition. No car park dings or paint correction etc. Detailer owned, so superbly maintained.

Options extra when new - Full vRS Leather retrim (this I found out as a dealer accessory through a kindly Briskoda member, before it was available as an option on the facelifted model!)

Rear electric windows, cool box & aux socket

Rear curtain airbags

Silver Rails

Sunset glass

Skoda mats front & rear

I'll include a Skoda rear load liner and a set of roof bars which have been used once. I'll also include a new oil filter and six 1L bottles of the recommended Castrol oil, which retails at £16.99 a bottle from Halfords.

I also prepaid my servicing schedule, so although it has very low mileage it has already been serviced twice at Victoria Garage in Maud, the latest on July 1st this year. It is still on original rear tyres, with the fronts having been replaced only a few weeks ago.

A car dealer friend informs me that with it's condition & low mileage a sensible price to ask would be £10,995 ono - I've already been offered the best part of £11,000 as a trade in already, so that seems a fair price. I'd like to think this is as good an example as you'd manage to find out there and I'd hope it sold to a member on here who'll continue to look after it as it should be. I'll listen to offers and may consider a part exchange?

Please reply or PM with any questions & I'll do my best to answer as quickly as possible. Many thanks

I'll also add a 6 months tax and put it through the first MOT included in the price.

My apologies - after trying in vain to find pictures I had taken earlier, I'll have to give it another polish and take some more photos. I'm off shift on Wednesday, so hope to get them done asap after that. Many thanks.

Apologies to all who've viewed this thread hoping to see some pics - been caught up in lots of work and then holidays, so haven't found the time! I'm hoping to take some pics of a freshly prepared car this weekend if all goes to plan. Mileage is now 14,100 after my travels and it has new front tyres too - am asking £12,600 for it, which I think is value for such a mint car with a rare spec including the leather. I haven't seen one yet that would top it for condition & mileage yet, so am hoping it goes to an enthusiast! You can email me on [email protected] if you need more info or have any questions. Many thanks

Hello there,

Where abouots are you based?

My apologies for the delay - just back from holidays!

I'm in Orkney, just off the North coast of Scotland, although distance isn't really an issue for me, as I bought it in London and am not afraid of travel! Just been down your way (not with the car) as I was on the Isle of Wight. I now have some photos if you're interested? It's just been in Aberdeenshire for a service on Friday 1st and has new front tyres as well. Mileage currently 14,500 approx.

DM or email me and let me know what you think. Many thanks

I'll give this a weekend bump & as I've sourced a replacement now I'll listen to sensible offers, so give me a shout! Will make sure it's got its first MOT and 6 months tax as well. You'll not be disappointed - this is a cracking motor!!

  • Author

Bumpity bump! I've reduced the price to £11,995 - top book is £12,600 and bottom book is £11,300 so I think that represents a very good deal. You'll see I've now included 6 months road tax and will also cover the first MOT as well. Many thanks.

Must admit to being a little disappointed with the response so far - I was hoping to sort out the deal for a new one in the next week or two, so I'll listen to sensible offers if anyone's in the market for one? It's a superb example and I'm sure the next owner will be delighted with it. Thanks

NO SENSIBLE OFFER REFUSED!! I have deals available to me now, but have to move soon.

  • Author

First £10,995 secures - I have a deal available to me, so grab a bargain!!

  • Author

No offers out there? Surprised...

  • Author

Details now updated - 2220 views and no Briskoda offers yet? Where am I going wrong here?....

I would say location and maybe still priced a tad high for the current market..

I agree with ultramagnetic...

For me the price needs to be nearer £9k than £11k

Best of luck with the sale though fella, it looks a lovely motor

Cheers

Yeah I take your point about location - we often have to travel for our cars, so forget you guys can afford not to! I'd challenge anyone to pick one up in this spec & condition for £10.5k, let alone 9? You'd be looking at £12.5 - 13k at a dealer surely?

Sorry mate, I didn't mean exactly £9k dead, I just meant nearer £9k than £11k

It does look a great car, and very well specced and obviously looked after...

But in most peoples eyes it's an 08 car, in a distant location and a petrol turbo. Times are hard fella :(

I'm sure you'll get a sale soon, if your prepared to be patient

Best of luck with the sale

Regards

Damo

Offered £10k yesterday against a new Octavia by a Scottish dealership, so I'd sell it for that. Seems more than fair?

I bought the car in London, so was no problem for me! I wouldn't expect anyone to come up here to see it - if pics & video were good enough then deal could be finalised nearer home for buyer to ensure car was exactly as viewed. Surely that would work?

  • Author

Last call this week for a top book car at trade price?

Will be trading in next week otherwise - which means I can deliver at least to southern Scotland. Clock is ticking though....
