My new car picked up last saturday am really happy with it. It is completely standard with a few optional extras (parking sensors, cruise control and sunroof.) It has only done 15,000 miles on a 55 plate and I got it for

Nice car and a bargain price, wonder if the person who fitted the parking sensors was pi55ed? Spacing is a mile out..lol

Welcome aboard.

Very nice :)

I'll be the first to ask.................when are you getting it remapped? :D:D:D

Bargain.

REG PI55SED no only jokeing what a bargen nice colour

i bought exact same car, 55 plate, 19000 miles.

the price, not even close to what you paid for yours!

so my question is... what the catch?!

only joking, i just distraught! you have no idea!

wonder if the person who fitted the parking sensors was pi55ed? Spacing is a mile out..lol

wouldn't of noticed that myself but now you've mentioned it i can't help but agree,must go outside and check mine

nice car though mate and welcome to the site:thumbup:

Nice motor and the best colour in my opinion. Price really is remarkable, all you need are the VRS mats and the carpets given a good shampoo.

also, who sold you it for that ridiculous price?!

have they anything else?!

seriously, i bought exact same car, for lot more money, am just pure gutted!!

Lovely car, but please take off the vRS seat belt cover thingys... Its no rally car!

Looks really good and a superb price!

Nice - the right colour too.

What a bargain!! Looks awesome in red too! Get some mats in there quick though.

Found these: eBay.co.uk: Car Mats to fit Skoda Octavia (Old VRS) + Logos (Black) (item 190129583314 end time 13-Jul-07 10:48:21 BST)

What a bargin price

Welcome to briskoda.

Ha ha yeah didn't notice the parking sensors till you pointed them out!

Saw the car on autotrader and followed the link to the companies website RudeCar.co.uk Entry Page they specialise in car audio and other bits and bobs. I put a deposit down immediatly and he held it until the weekend so i could pick it up. Am really happy with it the only slight problem is that there is a 0.5 cm gap between the light and the bumper at the front but everything else is fine.

Just got to clean the footwells and I already ordered myself some mats off ebay (thanks for the link though), vRS tax disc holder and some bonnet struts.

Remap will be after I get it serviced as it is due in Sept 07. Was thinking of doing a few more tuning mods but realistically financially I think it will only be a remap.

Thanks

Chris

Infact I just followed the link to the rudecar website and my car is still on there saying 'SOLD'

Watch out for the non genuine vrs ebay mats.By the look of it they don't have the eye holes to stop the mat slipping about.

It may have had a front end - bodyshops seem to have a very hard time realigning the Octy bumper/headlight/wing/bonnet as I know to their infuriation.... Almost got it perfect in the end though. Mind you, if all the original stickers are on the front crossmember, that's a sure sign it hasn't been replaced, so I guess its just "out!":thumbup:

On of the chaps on the astraownersclub has had a lot of work done on his Mk4 Astra by RudeCar, hes always been hapy iirc.

Canb't believe the price you got it for - my car is the same but a year older - I paid quite a bit more with only 2000 less miles on 6 months ago. My doesn't have the extras either. Well done for getting it at that price...

I take it its all been HPI'd etc?

As said, some genuine mats (I managed to find a new set on ebay and paid

Bit OT, but is Rudecar anything to do with a guy called Tony Evdoka?

Yes it is I have got a business card from rude car with his name on it. I am guessing you know him and hopefully have something good to say??

Yes car is HPI clear I have checked everything out and as i said the bumper is the only fault. I have driven over 700 miles in it so far and eveything seems perfect so touch wood it will stay that way!

I thought that they stopped doing the Octavias in rally red on a 52 plate and replaced it with Corrida red!

Your car does look like rally red in the pictures but I've never seen a 55 plate that wasn't the darker Corrida red.

I was just going to say the same thing. Its corrida (or as someone said, Corridor, as its not quite as vibrant as the rally)

Ha ha, no I used to know him from model car racing! I don't really have any experience of his new venture, as long as you're happy, eh?
