i have a fairly mint '96 vr6 with 73k on the clock but have seen a 51 plate octavia vrs for sale locally cheap and i'm undecided what to do.

Keep with my old mk3 golf with 73k miles or jump ship and get the vrs with 78k miles and full skoda histroy.

It's a local car and looks really tidy in the pictures, the only prob is it's YELLOW!!! sometimes i think yeah that looks ace, others i think thats a car that says look at me - which i don't reckon i'd like!

what would you do?

Seeing as it's Yellow buy the vRS and sell it onto AJ for a profit ?

Tough call that as it goes - not sure where I'd place my chips !

I'd say have a drive and see what you think. Tough choice but I reckon if it was me I'd be SLIGHTLY leaning towards keeping the VR6 but go take a test drive.

James

yeah i'm going to look tomorrow and see what they offer me for part ex on my golf, i've driven a vrs before and really liked it, but it's not quite a vr6 is it.

Im biased, i had a vr6 and i loved it, only got rid as the kid swaped me for his 2wd saph !!

A 51 plate yellow Vrs or a shonky old golf, hmm tough choice.

Personally i love Vrs and being in yellow seals the deal even more for me!

I know what you mean about the yellow,i have a yellow one too and think thats why i am struggling to sell it,sometimes i love cos its different then other times i want a black or silver one,but they are fairly common

what would i do? well i wouldnt buy a yellow car for a start

Honestly i wouldnt, even if the price is good

James

it's up for Ł3k which is a very good price i think.

Depends on milage history condition etc

I would keep yours if it were me

vRS or a vR6

EASY.................

VRS and get it chipped..........Job done. Will be faster than the Vr6 and cheaper to run, Newer car with all the toys as standard................

I LOVED mine.......One of the best cars i have ever owned, and mine was Yellow too

BM08

That does look good Tiff fairplay, but i just cant see myself in a yellow car.

Its up to the thread starter

James

i was hoping you'd see this tiff.

the only thing that casts a doubt in my mind is the engine/turbo blowing up. i know the 1.8t is a proven lump, but theres alot on ebay with turbo failure/engine failure under 100k miles.

something came up so not actually seen the car yet.....

If it were me i'd avoid it!

Bit like the orange ST's, would be nice to have one, but you'd get pissed off with driving a rediculous coloured car eventually

VRS FTW!
