Regretfully, I am selling my excellent Skoda Octavia VRS (180bhp) hatchback.1781 cc turbocharged petrol, manual. Stunning Metallic Silver, MOT until November 2012, Tax until May 2013. Half-leather black on white sports interior. Totally standard – no chips, dump valves or big exhaust.

It has covered 123,500 miles but don’t let the mileage put you off. I bought it over a year ago with 118,000 miles with no concerns. This is the well-known VW/Audi AUQ engine that will go on forever and it’s still less than 10,000 miles a year. Remember the UK police forces chose this model and ran them hard for many years. It has a full service history (I serviced it myself less than 2,000 miles ago) and it looks and drives superbly. The cambelt was done recently along with the (expensive) water pump. I also replaced the two front tyres and all of the windscreen wipers, as I like everything to be right.

All of the alloy wheels are in excellent conditions with no curbing – even the spare is perfect. Everything works as it should with ABS brakes, Radio / 6 CD Multichanger, remote central locking, 3x3 point rear seat belts, heated door mirrors, front fog lights, front head restraints, steering wheel rake/reach adjustment, driver’s and passenger airbag, electric windows all round, A/C climate control, traction control – everything works just as it should. It also comes with the factory fitted remote central locking / alarm / immobilizer.

The body work really is excellent for the year with just a few age related marks. There is a small scuff on the nearside rear arch which you might see if you were up close, as with a tiny split on the rear bumper – but you’d really have to be looking. Otherwise it’s in great condition. The interior has worn very well with little wear on any of the seats. The white has faded a little with time, but it has never bothered me and it’s nothing you couldn’t valet out if you wanted it to be “as new”.

I bought this car as I needed to do a daily 100 mile round trip to work last year, but I now have less than 20 miles round trip so just don’t need something “sensible”, so I am saving up for a Honda S2000. The private plate is not included - I will revert it back to the original plates for you.

I can honestly say that this car has been pain free to own and run – it’s fast, discreet, comfortable, ultra-reliable, returns around 37mpg average and has an enormous boot. OK, so it isn’t new car tight, but this is a serious amount of car for not much money.

I won't be “breaking it”, nor will I accept any silly offers “for cash”.It's worth every penny. I am not looking to part ex or swap thank you. I am in Basingstoke, Hampshire and you can contact me here or phone me on 07876 680604. Thanks for looking.

Really nice looking car. I'm sure at that price it won't hang around and i'd tear your arm off now to have it if i could. :(

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks pal. Appreciate that. Here's hoping someone is looking for one soon. It really is a great car but I just don't need it any longer. It's now sat in the garage waiting for a new owner.

Whoops - just noticed MOT is wrong - it's go MOT until October 2013!!

bargin for someone very clean for its age.

Thanks shark rider.

Problem is that nobody seems to want one at the moment.

Fingers crossed eh.

Kai

Anybody have any suggestions? Still not a single serious call after a week.

Kai

Give it more time. It's only been posted for a few days now and we're just short of the middle of the month, so give it a little longer and it will soon go.

Cheers bud

You're right. Fingers crossed.

Kai

It's a nice example & keenly priced. I can't see you'll be waiting that long for someone to come along & grab a bargain

Yeah I hope so.

It's just parked in the garage now and I feel like its a lot of great car for the money.

Keep your eyes open team!

Kai
