Yes after 3 years and just under 60,000 miles in 2 Superbs its time to say goodby.I originally bought a brand new 100 classic tdi as I had a long commute to do for a while,and kept the car nearly 20 months and did around 40,000 miles without a single fault and in total comfort with excellent economy.I was so impressed that when my long commute ended I wanted to change my car and didnt think twice about buying my secondhand 2.8v6 petrol tiptronic elegance which Ive had over a year and covered around 17000 miles in.The only problem I had with that car was the ashtray which opened everytime you went over a bump and was replaced without fuss by the local Skoda dealer.Unfortunately now I have a number of properties I rent out so Im really needing an estate car I can knock about a bit(trips to the tip/building materials etc).Im sick of paying for things to be delivered and to have rubbish removed.The natural candidate for this job is an Octavia estate(if anyone knows of a cheap one for sale let me know!!).Ive listed my Superb on Ebay and I know I will miss it like mad when its gone.

keep the superb and find a really old volvo to go with it!! that way you won't miss it then!!

Yes that was a possibility but all the old cars ive had ive always had problems with and I already have a 'weekend' car (a Porsche 911).Think the best idea is to get a secondhand Octavia estate that I can use and abuse!I want to stay loyal to the Skoda marque.

Towbar and trailer for the Superb?

Wait for a supurb estate...

or would VW be scared it would destroy the passat?

A6 estate with Skoda badges?

Chris

Hey that works for me

Isn't that already what the new Octy Estate is though (An A6 platform)?

Superb estate would be my ideal vehicle(have to wait until one was about 3 years old though for my job-I wouldnt like to bang a new one about).I believe that Skoda did not make one because it would harm more expensive models from Audi/VW
