Thoughts On Replacement Car

**Chris SRi** · 29th March 2013, 10:34

Looking at Skoda Octavia VRS's.

180-200 BHP - depending on year.
0-60 in around 8 secs.

Good MPG.

Anyone any experience or thoughts?

I think I'd be able to see past the badge snobbery!

You own a Vauxhall at the moment, not a Rolls Royce, lol.

i think they are ugly looking cars tbh i know its all personal taste etc but would prefer to buy a [cough, splutter, choke] mondeo if a good vectra or signum was not on offer..

Trouble is when I compared the two the vectra was a much better spec than the mondeo, they don't have an Sri spec only the zetec and its not the same

I would like a Citroen DS3 in the right colour or a Volvo C30 as I don't need a big car anymore and tax is now £280 (V6 CDTi), but at least she's paid for.

My CDTi 150 (DTUK chipped) is starting to run a bit rough (prob EGR),and I'm bored, the power just spins the wheels all of the time,so I'm now looking at a BMW330 M Sport Diesel.
Not bad MPG on a 58/59 plate. Bit unsure if I like the Tax and Insurance though !!!
And it's a two door coupé (now the kids are gone)?
Straight Six and fast as Flip.
Just need to get a price on my car (CDTi 150 2008 - 102K) in Silver,drives like new, about 90/95 % mint?
What do you think I should ask for it ?
