BAD POINTS

SLIGHT CRACK IN REAR BUMPER LIP TRIED TO TAKE A PICTURE ON IMAGE 5 BUT DIDNT SHOW UP ALSO LIGHT STONE CHIPS ON THE FRONT DUE TO MOTORWAY MILES, WHICH PERSONALLY I THINK IS A GOOD SIGN THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN LOCALLY AND CAUSED EXCESSIVE WEAR, APART FROM THAT THE CAR IS EXCELLENT AND IF YOU ALREADY LOOKING AT THIS IT MEANS YOU KNOW HOW SOLID AND RELIABLE SKODAS ARE.

Driver side mirror housing damaged, another car hit it in a country lane aaarrrgghhh!!!

GOOD LUCK

with that milage the skodas not worth more than £2000. a car with that milage a remap and fancy sound system are you sure you are doing the right thing.?

SOLD for £4,700 (winning Bid)

I'd say its worth around £4 - £4.5k private.

It's defo worth more than £2k.

If your happy with the car and it drives alright dont worry too much about the price theres always cheaper cars around but you get what you pay for.

You can look at buying a high mileage car two ways: 1) because its high mileage its probably had a lot of the parts that fail replaced already and will thus be entering its new phase of reliability 2) price is very mileage sensitive, it will therefore be well down on its depreciation curve and could be a bargain to buy, but likewise a poor sale and problem to sell.

I have just bought a 2005 Octavia, 77000 miles, but I think is entering a phase of unreliability, I have spent £600 on already. My last car, a Rover 75, had 150,000 miles, but I had replaced so many things on it - perhaps I should have kept it!!

We have done the deal and we now have a nice skoda. Drives like new with plenty of power.
