I'm looking at a 2004 Passat with 50,000 miles for about e18,500 and a 2004 Octavia with 37,000 miles for about e16,250 (both 1.9 diesel).
The Skoda has better economy and is a bit cheaper; The VW has a towbar, higher mileage, will need the timing belt done at 60,000 miles (not cheap) and costs more but the image/badge is better. I've spoken to the former owner and the car wasn't crashed or pulling heavy loads. I'm not a badge snob and will probably keep the car for as long as possible, so re-sale value is not a huge consideration. Any advice, please? Thanks.
nai said:remember the passat is a bigger car - the equivalent size in the skoda range is the superb - keep this in mind as well - are you buying for internal cabin and boot size ?
pgf5312 said:I'm not buying for size - as long as it's reasonable. Its' mostly for driving to work - with wife/1 child as occasional passengers..... The seller (VW dealer) won't do the timing belt as part of the deal, so I'm probably inclining towards the Skoda.....
Got my Timing belt fixed on my Skoda for €120!!
