hello all can anyone tell me what a 53plate skoda octavia vrs worth 1.8 turbo, im looking at buying one with a blown turbo

thanks
Andy

 

Milage and condition would help mate

 

Mine is about 2500 to 3000 with 103 thou miles in good condition but can range from 1500 to 4000 as said depends on miles an condition .

 

You can pick a half decent one up for 2k, I've been looking at them again recently, 3k can buy a really nice car

 

i will be selling my Black, 55 plate Octavia VRS shortly, its done a few miles but its in fantastic condition, i'm realistic with what i'm expecting

 

Put the details on this thread, it won't hurt, your a gold member. I've been offered some nice black ones but would prefer silver as its easier to look after.

 

Blacks the best colour for a vrs,wished i bought a black one

 

Black looks good but is a bitch to keep clean

 

will do; i'll give it a once over then stick pics up

 

I paid Ł1400 this time last year for a 02 in black with 91k and FSH. Interior was a bit grubby and it needed a wheel bearing but other than that it was a good deal.

Prices seem to have risen a bit since then tho - a lot of car for the money. Only downside for me is the white parts of the interior - a bit of a nightmare to keep clean.

 

I do fancy one as a run a round but I may opt for a 306 diesel so it's cheaper to run and can be left anywhere

 

great cars had mine few years now bought it standard and put hybrid turbo on front mount de cat etc running 260 bhp at 1 bar on normal fuel itl be going next year tho as ive split wi partner and i want a fresh start back to a rs and live the dream again.

Again as above prices go from next to nowt to people asking cossie money

 

I paid 1900 for mine, 51 plate, had different brakes and exhaust, remapped to 220, black with black wheels with glitter in them, love mine

 

Bought my Lemon yellow 53 plate Vrs last month, 100k, full skoda service history and had the belts and water pump done 20k ago for Ł2200, was a bargain though, was a px to clear.

2nd one ive owned, cracking car for the money imo.

 

If you've bought it I'd suggest that when you do it's next oil change you whip off the sump and replace the oil pick up pipe. You'll be amazed at the amount of shite in it and the sump - even on a car that's been services bang on schedule. It may also have been one of the contributing factors to the turbo shitting itself.

My one has been passed on to my old man and has 107k on the clock now but he loves it.

 

whats mpg like?????

 

If you drive like miss daisy mine does about 40mpg but everyday use around about 30mpg.Mine is goin in new year but only getting the mk2 shape

 

round town i get 32mpg on average, that's with giving it a few squirts too - you can get 40+ on a run

 

I went to view one yesterday but it was a bit tatty for me, I'm on the hunt for a cheapish one, I like the black & the silver ones

 

Got one now, found a tidy silver one in standard form for the right money

 

how many miles do ya get for 20 quid?????

 

About 100 maybe 120 on a good day Mr Firth

 

HELLO MATE hows tricks, 120 to 20
what the diesel octavias like?????

 

That really depends on the price of the fuel

MPG is an accurate measure, miler per Ł means fuck all with the volatile nature of fuel prices

 

I put Ł40 in this morning, done 150 miles, mainly motorway and it didn't use half of what i put in

 

I did 250miles to Ł45 over this week on a trip from Stockport to Hull in mine.

1.8 turbo petrol mk1 octavia.

 

i do fancy a vrs just dont know if i cpould live with the fuel

let us know what ya get for the Ł40 mate

 

I'll keep you posted, been mainly motorway so far but will be short journeys next week, so far we are impressed with ours, nothing stands out to far but it ticks all the boxes

 

Wouldnt touch a deisel personally

 

Well since I came back from holiday a few weeks ago to find my lwb mk3 shogun missing I have been looking at these.Seem like quite a lot of car for not much money.Dare I say its either one of these of a Vectra sri turbo in my sights.I should imagine both with remap shoud go ok.Its never going to pull your hair back but trying to find another 4 door saloon with bit of go is hard work .A new job in the new year so another Sapp will sort this I suppose but not as a daily this time around.

 

looking at a 140,000 fsh belt done 1200 quid
