We have a new addition to our VAG family - I've just bought a 2001 Octavia 2.0 Elegance for the missus, £2,700 with 58k and a full service history.
Seems like good value compared to my 2001 Passat 130PD SE, which cost me £6,200 with the same mileage two years ago!
She got an average of 40mpg on the run home [the seller was 250 miles away]. I only got 6mpg more from the Passat. To my dismay, the Octy also handles much better better and the dash doesn't creak!
It will be interesting to run the two side by side and compare running and service costs over the next couple of years...
Cheers,
Guy
