Finally done it

Amraam · 19 Jan 2015 at 14:24

Only took me 6 months of looking, and various threads on here and elsewhere, but I've finally done it. Purchased a 2009 Octavia vRS at the weekend. £6900, 60k, private sale. Enjoying it so far

And the obligatory "Look! My toys fit in!". Mind you, that's the smallest of my models at ~1m in length (rotor disc is about 1.2m), so the seats will have to drop for everything else...

Don't start ha. No, not really. A better price than anywhere else, and market value is actually £7300 according to Parkers for "Private, Good", which it is. And it's only just over 5 years as it was registered 31st October, 2009.

Cheers mate, will do when I get a chance. I won't be home until it's dark so I'll do it before work tomorrow morning.

No?

Awesome OP, get some pics up!

What a totally irrelevant point to make.

Well put it this way, if I could get a 6 year old Ferarri for £7k, then I certainly wouldn't have worried about spending too much

It's an utterly pointless statement.

You can spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on cars that are 50 years old.

Is it a face lift MK2.5?

Yup. Looks much nicer IMO. I'll get some pics up tomorrow hopefully.

If it's a facelift MK2 that's very good value indeed!

Yup, 100% face-lift.

I find the lack of VRS pics highly disturbing.

As do I, but do you really want to see pics of it in the dark?

Why? I was not offended.

mrk · 19 Jan 2015 at 23:57

If twoblacklines can do it, so can you!

But I understand completely, lack of weather, lack of time of day and suchlike.

Jono8 · 19 Jan 2015 at 23:58

Great choice! I currently have a red pre-facelift 2006 model (though it will be for sale soon, to be replaced by a new Fiesta ST)

Seems like a decent price.

What colour?

swinnie · 20 Jan 2015 at 00:00

Excellent choice. Look forward to seeing the pictures.

Interesting, seems like a good price then
