Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    I got just got a 2007 Skoda Octavia with 27k on the clock for E10.250 from a main dealer last week. He dropped it from 12,750 to get rid of it. Nows as good a time as any if you ask me....

    Thanks Jethro, out of interest were you buying the car straight or were you trading in something against the Octavia?

    Dealer gave me E500 for the crock of s!"$ I was driving, aside from that, straight cash. Great deals to be had out there. Only advice I would give to anyone is do your homework on the car before you buy it. Had a couple of bad experiences with one or two dealers, one who tried to sell me a car with outstanding finance, and another one who tried to sell me a clocked one.
