I have a chance to buy my 2015 Octavia diesel vrs for £14900, love the car , just would like other people's thoughts before I decide , many thanks 

You know better than anyone how it has been driven and looked after, that is usually the best cars to buy.

I agree that is a big plus .

I bought mine at the end of my PCP

They are a good car , I'm very tempted to buy it

How much mileage and what options etc? Are you happy that it's a good price?

Only you can decide that question. You know the car best.

It had 9,700 miles just run in really 

Price similar cars?  Is there any haggle room? How do you go about buying from a PCH?

5k miles p.a. 

 

No way I'd buy a diesel on that kind of mileage especially, with the environmentalists, politicians & ever other know-it-all, hammering on about diesel emissions.

 

15 grand is a lotta coin to drop on diesel when diesels cars are being made the patsy for Climate Change

Yeah you have a point this is the dilemma I'm in 

Get a new VRS 245 

Price wise it looks cheap compared to similar age / mileage cars on Autotrader. Put the number plate into Webuyanycar, and if it comes back as more, then buy it and sell it on for a small profit

Diesel can be very economical, but regular low mileage trips and not enough long runs mean the DPF and other gubbins aren't warming up enough to be effective, which can later clog up and cause other issues.

 

Does seem like a lot of car for the money, but only if your usage is fine for diesel.

Must be a bargain compared to the cost of getting anything else. So if you like the car and it suits you, sir ...

This only applies to older cars that don't meet euro 6, even older petrol cars are getting hammered.

According to climatologist/POTUS Trump, climate change doesn't exist, therefore...

 

Diesels FTW! 

 

Yeah, I know you tractor boys love them & whether you have science on your side or not Ryan.

 

I've NEVER known a Government miss an opportunity to raise taxes whilest BS'ing everyone "its for your own good"

 

Once the taxes start rising, city centre non-diesel zones appearing & the loony haters start having a pop, residuals will only go one way & taxes the other.

Not climate change this time - it's air quality (NOx is an air quality issue)

Same effect, higher taxes, lower residuals & more haters Why split hairs?

I see exactly what you mean and I'd love a petrol 300+bhp monster but I simply can't justify the running costs with my current mileage. 

 

Maybe I should get a job closer to home

Low mileage should be the reason to justify a petrol VRS. 

 

High mileage would cost considerably more

Is PCH the same as Lease? I've leased mine for 3 years and they told me I wouldn't be able to buy it but currently I want to when it runs out, surely my money is as good as the next man's without the hassle of having to sell it?

Decided to buy the car , after nearly two years I'm still impressed with the vehicle , thanks for your advice .
