    Thanks folks for all your comments

    Apparently the better half does not like the looks of stationwagons or most Japanese cars. We must have something in common so :D

    Yeah I hear that voice alright. It doesn't seem like that good a deal altogether, so it ain't gonna be a C5

    See my new thread...

    To give you an idea of price, I just bought a 99 Octavia 1.6 GLXi with 50,000 miles and FSH for €4,500.

    And in May I got a 00 Octavia 1.6 GLXi with 68k miles and FSH for €4250 (no NCT but passed first time + 1 dent in front sill which doesn't bother me).

    Also have a Citroen Picasso and, despite the conventional "wisdom" peddled on many forums, its been faultless and reliable. Spares for servicing have been cheap - oil and filter cheaper from Citroen dealer than from motor factors - and readily available. Picasso is the most comfortable car I've owned, or driven, bar none. I've also been watching the C5 prices from Merlin and have to wonder why people allow them to lose so much value. But, as with the Skoda, other people's badge snobbery is my good value.
