Hi to everyone!

I'm not exactly new to the forum as I've been registered for a while, reading up etc. but I've finally managed to sell my 172 so this week I'll hopefully get my hands on an octavia vrs and probably do a few more posts!

oh, if anyone is selling there's, let me know, got about 6k to spend.

one I'm thinking of looking at is a black 51 plate with a chip from somewhere (not sure who did it yet) 18" TT wheels and 55k on the clock. Seller wants

Welcome to Briskoda James

What is the Plate on the car, 2001/51 or 2002/51 ??????

Below is a parkers and glass's price on the motor in question for a 2002/51 plate (?)

Parker's

Parkers Price

Skoda Octavia vRS (01-05)

1.8T vRS Hatchback 5d 2002/51

Average mileage 40,000 miles

Private Good £5,535

Vauxhall - Error

Glass's Price

Skoda Octavia vRS (01-05)

1.8T vRS Hatchback 5d 2002/51

Mileage 55,000 miles

Excellent condition: £4680

I would only pay couple of hundred more for the map and 18's on top of the Price above.

I think the price they are asking is high IMHO.

I just made the same move from a Clio 172 to a Octavia VRS Well worth doing and so much nicer to drive. Welcome.

thanks for the reply's guys, as I suspected, he's being a bit greedy!

not sad to see the clio go to be honest, quick car and everything but didn't make up for crap build quality, rubbish dealers and overpriced parts!

That's exactly why I sold my 172 for the VRS. Great car but far to many rattles and reliability issues.

I paid

drove my first vrs today and have to say I'm very impressed although the ASR doesn't seem to do much

it instantly feels like a quality product compared to the clio and I suspect not really any slower. The power delivery is very different though, very flat, infact the clio feels like the one with the turbo!

Anyway, my mind is definately made up now, and I can't wait to get behind the wheel again!

I found the complete opposite. The VRS felt far quicker and pulled stronger than my 172 ever did. Best of all though is the lack of rattles from the interior

yeah I don't think there's much in it to be honest, the vrs probably feels quicker because the of the greater torque but they're probably about the same in reality. Like you say though, the build quality is a real plus after owning a renault!

My thoughts exactly You'll love it when you buy one. I can honestly say it's the best car of the 9 I've owned.
