The Skoda Thread

[Richard A Thackeray]

That's weird, the Ford Lee looks exactly like a skoda!

Yes
Just as not too many years ago, the front of the Fiesta/Focus/Mondeo resembled the Aston-Martins of the same age

eBay?

Skoda dealer part ex. Going to be 2015 -18??

I'm hoping for a 2018 -> facelift model. I've seen a couple a little above my budget that I could manage but it's early days. Thanks for the eBay suggestion - I've been bitten twice with car purchases from there so will need to be a bit picky.

Check the seats on a facelift model as they look a bit flat to me.

I did see a nice Octavia for sale in Felixstowe over the weekend, but there may be a problem getting the mobility scooter in the boot

That’s my old friend Nigel’s car, he did have it up for sale at one point. He has been all over Europe in that

My daughter is a secret Skoda nut ! Her first car was the green Felicia that I gave her when she passed her test.
This Sunday, she bought her second Felicia from my friend which is absolutely immaculate and has to be one of the best around.
I now have my old car back and it is going to be a fun, ratty project to join my 2003 Octavia L&K

It matches her hair!

Solid cars, every bit as practical, good value and stylish as a Peugeot 309 I used to run in the 90's.

It definitely matches her hair and personality, she loved the green car so this new one was just a natural progression although she still has eyes on my Octavia 👀

One of the neighbours has one; https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-skoda-thread.276955/page-45#post-7489136

We bought a 1.4Mpi estate new, & test-drove a vRS, at the time, but decided we needed a bit more room, with having 2 Border Collies at the time; https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/the-skoda-thread.276955/#post-6460866
Now, if they'd produced a vRS estate.........................
