been thinking about getting a brand new Octavia vRS, we have the 07 diesel one at moment but thought about part ex for a brand new petrol one with dsg etc. However, i just found this....

(hope that works)
Looks a great clean car with low miles and i think 4.2 V8 twin turbo? forget what engines they did now.

Octavia vRS to an RS6 is a nice leap. mmm low mileage. I'd take into account running costs though, they are a fortune etc... Looks ace though.

A new octavia is a 6 years newer in any mans language, will cost considerably less to run over a 3 year period when the RS6 is 9 years old.
Totally depends what you're looking for.

RS6 is the choice id go for, saying that i love my mk1 octy and it does share a lot of things with VW/audi. like said above, can you afford the servicing etc on the audi?

I know a foreman who has one and its upsetting how much these cost to run. I remeber him saying he didnt have much change from 3k when he had to replace the fancy dampers on it

Is it a pre facelift limited edition?
I wouldn't swap yours for that, would have to be a facelift, an 07 diesel will probably be worth the same as an 09 facelift petrol in 3 years time.

How about a 3 litre diesel Avant that wouldbe a good comprimise?
Or how much cheaper are the Bi Turbo RS4 avants to run? I am sure James will know?

Not sure John, website doesnt have much info on it to be honest. Wheels put me off straight away tho. Our diesel is a great car, but the warranty is about to run out and along with mot costs and a few minor issues thats whats making me think about getting another new car. 20k max budget, however for an RS6 id go higher, plus it would be doing max 15 miles a day. At the very most

but more money on top of the cost of the car and declaring to insurance then lowering etc etc all adds up.
