Hi folks, Just joined this board due to buying my first "second hand" octavia

05 plate latest model, Test drive impressed and the car looks great (strange

to find a sunroof) bought the car from motorpoint glasgow and plan to phone

the nearest skoda dealers to ensure I dont get any problems with servicing

and warranty issues. The car itself is in great condition with the only problem

being the nearside alloy looks as though it has been driven with a flat tyre

at some point as the rim of the wheel is a bit rough nothing too serious but

it is there. Anyway I look forward to posting my thoughts and getting tips

from this board.

P.S. My son is a bit of a badge snob and is slagging me off just now.

But he's only 14 and knows nothing about quality.

Cheers...

Bub...

I have two sons the elder of them ran three Estelles, my younger son would not be seen dead in any of them. On one occasion the only way he could get somewhere was in big brother's car. He lay on the floor behind the front seats.

Elder son then got a Felica and younger lad would sit in it but would not go for a drive.

When I bought my Ocky Mk 1 youger lad was quite happy to be driven in it as he is now in my Mk II.

I have had my 1.9TDI Elegance since Sept 2004 and am very happy with it. You have made a good choice.

I know where your coming from with kids today, my lad nealy died when I called into Lidl's for some sugar. Hid in the back in case one of his mates saw him. !!! "Why couldn't you have parked at the back of the car park?"

I only wanted a bag of sugar!!!
