about to buy a 56 plate Octy VRS.........

Skoda Octavia Vrs 2.0 Tfsi

One owner from new it has all the features of the Octavia Vrs and with the added options. Maxi Dot Display, 18 inch alloy wheels, Xenon Lights with washers, Cruise Control, Dual Climate control with jumbo cool box, Rear Parking Sensors, Metalic Race Blue paintwork.

This is an excellent condtion it cost him £21000 a year ago.

Has got skoda warranty until march 2009

4 Brand New tyres fitted this week!!!

All this for £11,500

Does it sound too good to be true?????

Yes. As he doesn't have warranty any more

I would agree with Snoopie regarding the warrenty. He's had a little tinker with it hasn't he. Also has quite a high mileage on it.

However, there are some compensations I suppose. The drop in price makes it a tempting buy and the spec helps (but does not add any real cash value to the car....just makes it more desirable).

If it was me I would be a bit put off by the fact it is non standard and the warrenty is a bit of a tricky area. Should something go wrong it will probably be you footing the bill. Wonder also how your insurance company will view the mods.

My main question would be why is he selling the car? He has invested heavily in it when new and continued to do so. He could be cutting his heavy losses set against the miles he will out on it over the next year, but assuming he is happy with the way it drives, I wonder if there is anything else that could easily be missed by the buyer keen to pick up such a nice sounding car.

Best of luck,

M
