Wanted Skoda Octavia VRS wanted

[Neil A]

Looking for a VRS, preferably Euro 6, maybe 5, prefer under 100k miles, probably 2016/17, not white, budget around £10,000, but could push that a bit for the right one. Just to add to the complications, I live in the Isle of Man, but I am across in the UK with a day and a half to look at possibilities on 10 Feb (pm) and 12 Feb (all day). Ferry arrival and departure is Heysham (Lancaster) and going over to Hull for a funeral on the 11th, so even better if it's somewhere not too far off that route (Preston/Liverpool/Manchester/Sheffield/Leeds, etc), although would drive further afield for a good one. There's one in Peterborough on Auto Trader that would be on the list if it's not sold by then......just not Aberdeen or Cornwall...

I might also be tempted by a Scout (the 4WD Octavia, not a member of the young person's organisation)

Just to add, the one I am outing is a Nissan Pathfinder, 2007, 2.5 diesel, a bit shabby cosmetically, but sound mechanically, just serviced, silver, manual, towbar, on a Manx reg (but easy enough to re-register), currently just under 100,000 miles, but this trip will take it over, if anyone is looking for one? I suppose I should do a different thread, but I don't really think I'm going to sell a car of that value in the UK.

Hi Neil,
My son-in-law is selling this VRS due to getting a new company EV.
I know you said not white and 10K but thought might be of interest as you would be hard pushed to find a better one.
He has had this car for over 6 years and keeps it in absolute pristine condition.
Anyway, just thought might be worth a look. Good luck with your search, they are great cars

He's advertised it as a 1.9 TDI. It's 2.0 TDI.

It's on the V5 as 1968cc so I'm guessing that's why he put 1.9tdi. I have a Sharan with the same size engine and always thought of that as a 2.0ltr. Will let him know

Looks like a nice car, but it's a bit too far to stretch for my budget. Thanks, anyway

Plus it's a 5 hour drive, each way, from anywhere I'm going to be

Not a problem, just thought to mention it

Forgot to say, it also has to be an estate and manual, not auto. Not that I'm particular

Most VRS are DSG,I have manual but sorry not for sale at this moment.
Insisting on manual will limit your choice.
