You can get mk1's on 09 plates, mk2's on 05 plates and I could be corrected but mk 3's on 09 plates also! The mk1 goes from 98(??) all the way to 09 with two other models mixed in between. Its weird.

I know, I know - they're terrible etc, but for €350-400 it might make sense for someone?

Who on earth has a friend who gives them a free gearbox for an old Octavia, his gearbox is whining in first and he's supplying a spare box with the sale. Nice car and all but definitely one for the brave. I wouldn't touch that C4 with a barge pole either.

All 4 suffered major enough problems that costed big money out of warranty that ended in them trading it in for another brand within 4 years. Not anywhere near a representative sample but not good stories. Also I think all 4 had the 1.6 diesel version. This particular one is a 2.0l version.

Don't know the guy, but it's just sumthing I saw on another forum where he's selling the car. From what I know of him on there he's well known to the lads on that forum and is sound out. Just my 2 cents.
