Dear all:

A greatregards from Santiago,Chile.I am a old surgeon(68) and my first knowledgment of Skoda is a very old car,of the 50´s,askoda of my uncle,with sistem for a foot added to the clasic three.I never knows what exactly minds..In the 2000,I see in the web the new skoda,now powered by Wolksvagen.I fall in love with the Octavia Tdi,1.9,4x4,station wagon.Skoda in Chile ,before and now is a very RARE car.So,sudenly appeared in Santiago the Octavia and I can buy it.When I remember the price in 2002(20000 US dollars)¡¡¡But the succed was incredible.I enjoy the 4x4 in the highway,during tha last 10 years(spetily my daughter that was the final owner).Only 2 sudden stop by electrical problems.One famous relais,and the other the fuse of fuel pump.

Now, I buyed the ugly Yety 2.0,4x4,Tdi (the same 20000 US dollars).All is more fine,more power,but a persisstent noise inside the car originated in the sunroof ¡¡¡,that had need 2 trip to the dealer for repair. I dont sell the old octavia,because only had,120000 Kms,;inside is very good for 10 years,and the price is too bad(2000 US dollars)

I hope to learn very much with this global comunity.
