Cool

I can well believe that early high milers will go for around £9000 now. I wonder if its an import? Motorpoint were selling new imports for £13k, only 16" wheels and aircon instead of climate control.

My local Skoda dealer has 3 RS's in, the cheapest is a 2001 Y reg with 30000miles for £10995. www.rainworthmotors.co.uk

They also have a second hand Superb in for £20000. Who would have thought a few years ago you'd be paying £20000 for a second hand Skoda.

Autocar (I know, I know) reckon they will retain around 29% of their original value over 3 years.

I work that out at around £5k for a 36 month old RS. Bargain of the century.

But then what the hell do Autocar know?

£8k still sounds a lot of car for little money. How old?

Hmm, suspiciously cheap, IMHO, I haven't seen a vRS advertised for less than £12k yet, I'd be wary.

£8k sounds like a bargain to me

Ask TaviaRS, he knows everything about these cars

It's a yellow one which might explain some of the cheapness. It says its a 2002 car, so has done a few miles in 18 months. Looks OK though in the piccy. Bargain indeed!!

What car quote the Octavia RS to retain 44% of its value when 3 years old.
