Reluctant sale of my stunning '02 (51) Yellow Octavia vRS.
Full service history - receipts for every penny spent in last 4 years.
11 months MOT - 6 months tax.
83k miles.
Garaged every night, hand washed weekly, and polished regularly.
Alloys never been kerbed, and cleaned with "Wonder Wheels" regularly.

4 recent tyres, and brakes done not long ago.
Timing belt done at 65k.
Oil changed every 6k.
12 disc JVC hi-fi and speakers.
As you can see from the below pics, this is the "Mutts Nuts", and has been the best car I have ever owned, but Dr. Diesel is calling, so she has to go...
Reduced for quick sale.....£5,395.

phillip · 08-03-2008, 10:40

Thanks for the compliments dudes...but do you know anybody that wants to buy it ???????????

phillip · 19-03-2008, 12:57

All things being equal, I would like to keep it, but finances are getting a bit tight, and although it averages 30-31 mpg around town (nearly 40 on a run), I just need something (diesel Passat or A4), that does a few more to the gallon !!!

phillip · 29-03-2008, 12:09

Right...time to bite the bullet

......

£4, 995 ono.

phillip · 09-04-2008, 13:31

phillip · 14-04-2008, 09:16

That's why I don't want to trade it in..... did a price check last night thru HPI website, and book price comes up at £5,195 !!!!

If ur not happy with Passat, let me know, and I will have it !!

Has the market died completely out there ??

Interphase · 15-05-2008, 15:54

It's a bit weird at the moment isn't it? I was about to start looking for a MK1 Octy RS, and noticed the prices falling dramatically since last time I checked - there was a spotless Y plate with 80k on it going for under 4k the other day, and Autotrader seems to have at least 5 in my area all under 5k where they would have been over 6 a few months ago. I think the fuel increases and the govt's hidden car tax scam have scared a lot of people off!

I was actually wondering if your motor was still up for grabs a few weeks back as I'm just down the road in Leicester, but unfortunately I've had a few health problems hit and I think it's going to be a little while before we work out how serious it is :|

Hope you manage to work around the iffy market and get some joy

phillip · 16-05-2008, 12:45

Cheers matey...had a couple of tentative enquiries on here but no one been to see it, as they weren't local which is a shame

, as the first to do so will buy it

matt@theforce · 25-05-2008, 15:18

have you thought about LPG'ing your vrs. I never thought about it and with what I have spent getting this octavia the way I want it, it would have cost less to LPG my vrs.

Was it you I flashed and waved at the other day?

phillip · 27-05-2008, 10:49

Yep that was me

.

Re LPG... a colleague at work had it fitted on his Landy V8 petrol for about 2K I think, but he reckons it will take him about 4 years to get his money back !!!

phillip · 30-05-2008, 22:42
