My Octavia is about to turn 200k in the next couple of weeks.

I'm still toying with the idea of changing it for a Superb whenever the Octavia needs something, but once rectified, I'm happy.

Car is an early 2005, 54 plated 2.0 PD140 Elegance. Good spec, xenons etc...

Full history - Skoda upto 100K on long life, then serviced every 10K at specialists since then using genuine parts (Running out of stamps in the book now) Timing belts done at 60k, 120k and 180k inc. water pump etc.. Just went through an MOT at 198K with only one advisory.

At its last service, the guy who owns the garage remarked on how clean the car is and drives like a car thats done way less that the odometer says.

I've seen a few examples on 200K+ advertised by traders for what I'd say is silly money.

What are the thoughts on what I could get privately for the car ?

Try Parker's for a price guide.

If you're trading in take the Parkers price then subtract 100's until you start to cry/foam at the mouth. That's your trade-in figure.

You'll be lucky to get a grand for it.

Best bet is a sale to a mate who knows how you've looked after it
