Original Irish Octavia Scout 4x4, NCT til January 2022 and tax til May, €1800

Comes on original Skoda alloys (which is a good thing IMO). Seems a well looked after example

How would you know from 3 pictures?

Read the ad?

frozenfrozen · 03-03-2021 05:11PM

says it has full service history from 07 on and the timing belt was done last year not last week as every other ad states

Paper, ink etc... Be nice to see a pic of the tippex on the timing cover, at least he isn't looking for completely mental money.

Common fault at that age. Requires soldering a replacement capacitor into the alarm unit behind the wheel arch. Power drops in the old capacitor can cause the alarm failure message.

Thanks for the info. It comes up on mine sometimes, depending on how cold it gets.

What's confrontational about querying an ad with 3 pictures?
Anybody can write anything in an ad, as we all know with cars of that age and particularly that mileage condition is everything, hard to judge a cars condition with 3 pictures the seller doesn't even bother to show the alloys the car will be sold with.
It has been said here time and time again by many on this thread about timing belt changes, tippex etc.

How exactly? I queried a 3 picture ad. Is it because it was put up by one of the boys?

What's with all the stupid faces?
Ye all seem a bit miffed that I questioned one of the boys.

LOL! Yeah, that's mine. It's the fixer upper I picked up a year ago and driving since. I've been meaning to punt it on but restrictions mean very limited market. Open to offers.

Apologies for terrible ad. It's only on adverts because donedeal offered it for free. Then exported the ad with miles/kms mixed up!

A bit left field and a bit pricey for something with a very short NCT. But you won't get anything as comfy in that price bracket.

1997 Xantia. 2.0 D turbo manual.

I’d love that.

It’s the old 1.9 (pre HDI) engine but unfortunately still gets taxed as 2.0 as its 1905cc.

Would love to have my Saab 9-5 in black! Milage is only maybe 10k higher than mine is now.

Don't see mention of heated seats, though, nor do I see the symbol of the button on the rightmost button just above the cigarette lighter.

Hate seeing Saabs or Volvos without heated seats, seems to be an Irish spec thing.

Toyotafanboi · 05-03-2021 12:48PM

Looks very tidy and there's a nice bit of nostalgia to it but IMO, the NCT disc expire din January, there's only 2 months covid extension left, needs the sills welded and the airbag light is on so it's already a guaranteed fail and the clutch is on it's last legs.

He's need to drop the 1 off of the start of the asking price to make it any way enticing. Fixer-upper, not a bangernomic that Citroen.

That’s a cool find. It’s a pity the bodywork isn’t tidier because that’s the nicest colour for them.

I’m fairly certain that steering wheel isn’t original though. Looks like it’s off an older Corolla

selectamatic · 05-03-2021 04:57PM

Looks a bit like an ep80 starlet steering wheel. Or the one that came in them windy ii corolla's.

colm_mcm · 05-03-2021 09:42PM

Did the Corollas have an airbag at that stage? I don’t think so, but it’s odd that you’d swap to that wheel.

I think on that model it was usually strapped into the front passenger seat telling you to slow down for the love of God.

Toyotafanboi · 05-03-2021 10:37PM

The non airbag wheel was a 3 spoke, i think they had a drivers airbag from 96 on and that was a 4 spoke wheel.

That wheel looks like it's from an e90, the previous model.
