Hi all. I've been looking a change for a while now. Came across this Octavia vRS. I really like the Octavia vRS and this one has reversing sensors fitted plus Xenons (my current car has Xenons and I love them!)

What do you think?

Thanks for any advice!

Hey mucker I moved from the Mk1 Fabia VRS to the Octavia VRS very happy so far but its only done 3500 and im unable to drive at mo ... so its sitting unused.

The one youve seen looks like a brand spanker price is spot on by looking all over the UK on Autotrader and its from a dealers thats offering some warranty and im sure youll squeeze a better deal out of them if you go for it!

If your running a standard Fabia VRS this will feel like a good upgrade if you remapped it like I did then the Octavia will be a lil less lively due to size/weight difference I had mine remapped in Ballymena at OBD Auto Tune when she was only a month or so old with 1500 miles on it transformed the car perfect now

The car is at its BIG service point for belts also if thats been all done fantastic if not its part of the sale in my mind!!!! will cost them almost nothing to do it in house!

WORD OF WARNING IF YOUR NOT AWARE THIS IS A 2.0 TDi PD not the newer 2.0 TDi CR diesel engine there are a lot of things to be said on this matter and if you haven't seen it there is a lot on it here on the forum. From what I gather DPF problems and people who remap them have them either remove DPF totally and have it mapped out of the system or have it cut open gutted then welded back up and mapped out (doing this at same time as a remap will not add much to cost if your heading down that line anyway and im sure all on here would highly recommend both remap and DPF delete as its known.

ps if you haven't been to see it yet they have taken a lovely pic of an alloy to show how good condition its in but they took a pic of a rear one ........ sneaky sneaky play hard ball with dealers Pat Kirk's wont want a Skoda about the place too long showing up the crapy Fords about the forecourt only puts people in the mood to go check out a Skoda dealers

Hey mate. Thanks for the advice.

I've decided against this one really cause of its age. Seen a lovely white one at mervyn Stewarts today;). I hide my fur by very well;). Mostly on the m2 and sometimes the coast road.
