It is a lady skoda owner... I expect most of the blokes on this forum would want to give her more than a telling off.

The mileage showing in the advert would be of more interest to me
when they don't put it in, you can tell it's going to be high

OctaviaT81 · 10-07-2007, 21:06

Hmmm, I might buy a VW Caddy pickup from somewhere, re-sell it and list it as "Skoda design" just so the truth can get out

Babs · 11-07-2007, 12:06

and a considerable amount of the switch gear is VW, too...

would you rather the ad says "will rust before you get it home due to not being under VW ownership"?

pinkskud · 14-07-2007, 14:18

quite the oposite, the pre-vw cars had much better paint work. once vw took over the paint quolty went down hill.

VW obviously done Skoda a lot of good in general, but I have noticed that the Favorit is far more rust resistant than the Felicia.

harryhill · 14-07-2007, 22:52

Dunno about all the above pinkskud as i have seen some pretty ropey looking early felicias round my way.

The only real notable areas of rust i have encountered is the tailgate and rear wheelarches. (if anyone has a nautic blue tailgate i am still looking!) I think that the paint itself has a lot to answer for as mine seems to be pretty crap quality compared to other colours on felicias i have come across although when polished up does look good.

pinkskud · 15-07-2007, 16:47

the only ones i'v seen with rust are ones that have spent there life by the sea. compair a 12 year old skud, with a 12 year old franch car, and you'll see what i mean.

Can I get first dibs

Lummox · 15-07-2007, 21:45

Its usually quite rare to actually see a Pug 405, even back in the day through the oil smoke haze from behind it.

bobob · 16-07-2007, 00:40

Living close to Coventry, i see loads everyday
yes they can get quite smokey after about 150k

ex-owner of several 405s
