51 plate Octavia Elegance Estate TDi for sale

[mikeo]

Hi folks

Firstly, thanks for all the help before Xmas whilst I was having the turbo trouble, sorry I haven't been back in, but life is hectic...

Anyway, due to a new job coming up that has a company vehicle, I no longer need the Skoda.

It is now all sorted with the reconditioned turbo. The only 'fault' it has is the front belly. I caught it on a high kerb, tried to reverse away and it bowed down a bit. I have secured it back up and it only really notices if you're looking for it. It has no rips or tears in it.

I'm after a minimum £3300 for it, I paid a lot more just 5 months back and have sorted out the turbo which is now as new. Please let me know if this is a realistic price, I'll be putting it in Auto Trader very soon if no luck here, and no point if I'm not pricing sensibly. Please feel free to say if it's too cheap as well!!

I can add some more pics tomorrow (washed it today but weather too crap for taking photos!) if anyone wants to see them.

Thanks for looking, PM me if interested, I'm in mid Wiltshire.

Here's some photos taken today, poor weather didn't help, but gives an idea of what it's like. I can email some more if anyone wants some. There is a plastic load liner that's not shown in the pics. Thanks for looking.

No replies & no PM's.....am I way off with what I'm asking? I paid quite a bit more than this a few months back! Any feedback appreciated, or ideas on next best place to advertise, AutoTrader I suppose? Don't really want to Ebay it.

Don't think you're miles out. There's one on autotrader - fair bit more mileage - £2750 - if that helps.

Thanks. This one's pretty mint for the age. Will crack it in AutoTrader later this week...

[mikeo]

Bump...

It's a very nice car! Now on Auto Trader as well. Surely it's worth £3300? How about £3200?

You can put it on Ebay as a classified ad rather than an auction - cost is £12.99 IIRC for 28 days, which compares well with Autotrader. Might be worth Pistonheads too - in fact, nothing to lose putting it there as it is free.

Good luck with the sale, looks a nice car.

Cheers

Thanks Stu, will try Ebay Classified. I did sell my Aprilia Tuono that way so it does work. Had tried the Tuono on an auction which was useless as folk seem to think that anything on an Ebay auction is only worth half the real value!
