hey people how are you?

im looking to buy mk1 octavia vrs and just wondered if there is anything i should look for. there is one just down the road from me which is nice. its and ex-police car with all the extras and full serivce history. they want £4000 for it woth 99,000 on the clock. what i really want to know is should i stay well clear of cars iwht high miles or are they ok as long as they have been looked after?

Hello and welcome. I wouldn't be too put off by a high milage car. If it's a police one then it will most likely have done it's miles on the motorway, and it will have been well looked after. Some of the mk1 vRS owners will be along shortly to tell you exactly what to look out for. If not try posting in the octavia section. Best of luck with it.

Hello and welcome.

There have been several threads in the past discussing the pros and cons of ex-plod cars.

You should be able to find one or two of them with the search facility
