The bad news - I have finally sold my beloved Octavia Mk1 vRS !!

 

I bought my 2005 Corrida red Mk1 vRS when it was 2 years old and I have owned it for over 8 1/2 years. It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned (No joke!). The only non wear and tear parts I have had to replace are 2 door latches, coolant temp sensor and engine speed sensor. The car had covered just 85k when it was handed over as part/X for a...

2012 Skoda Octavia Mk2 2.0 TFSI vRS in race blue (the good news)

 

I thought about the Mk3, but I could not justify the £20k+ price tag they are asking for second hand ones. My Mk2 is a 62 plate with just 11k on the clock, FSSH, 1 owner and absolutely immaculate - bought from main dealer for £12k. The difference in the Mk1 and Mk2 is incredible. I only had it for 24 hours, but so far, very very pleased.

 

Hopefully another 8+ years of happy motoring.

 

(If anyone is wandering, I only got a poor £1600 p/x for the Mk1)

 

So farewell Mk1, hello Mk2

I'll probably be doing something similiar later in the year although ive only had my mk1 2.5 years.

Should've advertised it - someone might have offered you more than the PX price

 

Facelift mk2 should be the TSI (chain driven) engine, not TFSI (belt driven) I think?
