What a lovely car.
In any sane society there would be queue of buyers for that motor.

In any sane society it would be 2 to 3 times the price

Nice spec DSG Octavia diesel with test til December and tax til April, €1750

€570 tax, which isn't bad I suppose. Nice practical car for the money

Nice spec 225 TT with a years test, €1850

Those plates need to go, but it looks like a decent(ish) TT for not a lot of money

Porsche wheels on it also or possibly knock offs.

Yeah them wheels would need to go.

Would love to have the money, these can only start going up, future classic.

I don't think the wheels are too offensive.

The plates, plate surrounds, front badge (is it missing altogether or just painted black?) and wrap on the rear spoiler would have to go though.

Likely platidip on the front badge and wing.

The wheels aren't really offensive but just look wrong on that car. If they're genuine they probably worth a few quid. They look like they've been powder coated.

I put serious mileage on one of these with the 6 speed wet clutch DSG without issue. Dunno if the 2ltr used the same box or got the newer dry clutch. Very comfortable car to spend hours in.

Nice. That’d be a red Di in VW speak. 1.9s are rough and loud but can take abuse that the 2ltr can’t.

I could be wrong but guessing it may have being a typo error and he may have meant meant 196,560km? I'm no VAG expert but otherwise I would have thought that the timing belt change intervals was much much less than 111k odd km on these that it is currently on. So much so that anyone who otherwise seen to the servicing of their car well would have got that belt changed a long time back rather than leaving it go that overdue. Either way a phone call to the seller should clear that up quickly enough.

Thats at least a grand overpriced.

At the moment you won't buy a clean tested is250 for €1200.

At €1200 it will have sold. At €2250 you can add it to your watch list for a few weeks.

Is250s seem surprisingly popular with lads doing wheelieskids at crossroads these days.

2005 Passat 1.9 TDI;
153k miles;
NCT 11/2021
Asking €580

I know these are far from the most liked VW's ever but surely at this price its worth a go to the right person. Actually looks fairly clean.

NCT 11/21, 3 months tax. €1,650. 1.8t Auto. I like these. They look good with the roof up or down. Has leather, a/c etc.
Probably needs a new belt?

Yeah, but those lads wont pay a premium for one - if the interior had been used as a calving shed they'ed class it as a bonus.

Can't find anything else affordable and reliable.

Manual is250's are clearing 2.5-3k handy, more if it's had the bits done to it to actually make it any good for such things.

Auto ones seem to be keeping steady at about roughly 2 grand.

Audi is nice, but needs cv joints too. I'd chance it to do the work myself, but its a tough sell otherwise. CVT boxes in them not popular either.

Still would though.
