Feeler: 460bhp 4x4 Octavia Estate - SOLD

EddyH · 01-04-2008, 10:28

I'm sure many people on here are aware of my car and will be suprised to see me selling it. However due to a change in circumstances that' exactly what I'm contemplating. Below is a few details about the car for those that don't know it and a reminder for those that do.

It's a 2001 '51' Black Magic Octavia 4x4 Turbo Estate which has covered around 73k miles around 20k of which have been since the engine build and turbo conversion. It's totally unique and has had over £20k spent on it including a rebuilt strengthened engine and turbo conversion and 6spd transmission. The car has been RR'd at 460bhp and 390ftlb, running only 1.65bar of boost for reliability, this could be increased quite easily with a tweak of the remap if required . I use the car as my daily driver and it's proved very reliable after minor issues in the early days after the conversion which have all now been sorted. Insurance is also very reasonable costing me £600 a year and I'm under 30. The car is booked in for a service and new discs and pads all round which will be done before selling. Full spec below:

I've attached some pics but unfortunately they aren't completely upto date so I'll try to get some sorted at the weekend.

Asking price is £12,000 but I'll consider any genuine offer. I'll also consider p/x's, ideally I want a A3 2.0TDI Sport/S-Line + cash either way but I'll consider any standard car that I could use to p/x towards my purchase. If a member finds me a buyer there's £50 in it for them.

EddyH · 01-04-2008, 16:19

The buyer will be kept anonymous until they decide otherwise and I'm sure like me they want to complete the deal first.

Johnwg · 06-04-2008, 21:27

mattbeef · 06-04-2008, 22:03

i can see where your coming from but i would say its worth far more than that to the right person but that person might be impossible to find.

your talking about a lovingly looked after 15k(when new) car with probably another 25k spent on it that would cost anyone willing to replicate it easily 20k doing it cheaply and a hell of a lot of time too when you could buy it all done to an extremely high standard with either very high quality or oem parts where needed and its a wonder of a thing.

that and the above mentioned 460bhp isn't pushing the setup and could well easily see 500+ if pushed a little harder.

so i would say it would be worth a lot more than 12k but to a very limited market and to the general public it wouldn't be worth much at all as they wouldn't hold the modifications or the time and money spent in the regard that they should.

Captain Scarlet · 06-04-2008, 22:11

WOW. That's a real nice motor. Hope the sale goes through for you, and the new owner enjoys it.

dsmithmobile · 07-04-2008, 09:09

Sorry to hear your letting it go eddy,i'm sure the new owner will enjoy it too as its a cracking motor
