eBay.co.uk: SKODA OCTAVIA CLASSIC 1.9 SDI (item 300081064272 end time 16-Feb-07 10:02:56 GMT)

Ive been in Octy taxis that have covered 400,000 miles...

Doesn't look that high, but buyer beware, as always.

- I like the bumper..

I looked at one with 270K odd, looked fine. Went back for a test drive but someone beat me to it!

hmmm, would make a cheap jalopy / second car for someone..... even a first car for a young driver ?

There is another one here

eBay.co.uk: 2001 SKODA OCTAVIA CLASSIC SDI NO RESERVE ...... (item 260086725848 end time 16-Feb-07 22:00:00 GMT)

this one even mentions briskoda in the description.

yeah high mileage and diesel engines go hand in hand - im working on the big quarter of a million, gotten to 117k so far and still going strong. not so sure about the two cars mentioned in the ads above though

"THE CAR FOR THE MILEAGE..." - and "COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS A BRAKE LIGHT FUSE..."

An SDI in that yellow it looks like an ex bournemouth taxi and the disposal area in the pics looks familiar too.
