Hi. 

One of my friend using skoda octavia 2006 automatic diesel car. Am thinking to purchase in healthy price. Please suggest me shall i go for it or not? 

Its run 90000km.

What is the best price to take it? 

Whats the avarage maintenance cost of octavia?

Now Am using safari 2.2 2012 model everybody warned me to not go for safari but i had taken it still now i didn't face any major problems and maintenance is also good. 

Same way now everyone suggesting me to not go for skoda specially 2006 model. 

Thanks in advance

@Ravuriprasanth - You don't say where you are (I'd guess India from the name and avatar photo but that is a guess) or whether this car is a mk1 or mk2 (Aka the Skoda Laura in India).

 

90_000km is low mileage for a diesel (any engine). What's the service history like? I'd be wanting at least oil plus inspection every year.

 

As to the "safari 2.2" I'm afraid that makes me think of a Citroen CX TDi estate, but that wouldn't be a 2012 car.

Hi am from india. 

Its regularly serviced at authorised skoda showroom. 

Its mk1. 

What should be the average yearly maintenance cost will be? 

@Ravuriprasanth - As I say, I guessed where you were from by the name and picture. Filling in the location field (which you've now done) makes it much easier to help you.

 

If it's got a regular service history, including at least one replacement of the "toothed belt" (Skoda UK for the camshaft drive belt) the engine could go on to 800_000km, maybe more.

 

I'm afraid I have no idea about running costs in India.

Thanks for your valuable words...
