Hi,

Sanity check before I import a similar spec car.

20K miles
1 owner
1.9 Diesel

2004 (04) Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDi Ambiente Estate Manual Diesel Blue/Grey 37,161 mls

7200 - Sterling = 10,610 euros
VRT = 3,757 >>> depends on BHP which I dont know yet.

Total = 14,367 euros approx (+ any expenses incurred ferries etc )

This would be a good buy as the approx Irish market value here is
between 17.5 and 20 K.

Am I correct on all this?
A better car for way less $

Also - I think this car would be easy to sell in a year or two - a very popular car?

Seems ok. Don't forget to HPI check it, and examine service history.
