    NSW Early days but...

    G'day all,
    Just after a reality check. Only had the car a week (Skoda Octavia 2010 125TDi vRS). It's got 110,000km on the dial but, cosmetically at least, has been well looked after. I know I have a couple of expensive services coming up (the 105,000 service hasn't been done), but I feel like I got too good a deal. So much so that I've double-checked to see if the car hasn't been stolen! This is the first car I've had that I've enjoyed driving since I got married. Put a trailer on it yesterday; business as usual. When will I wake up from the dream?

    good cars & well priced. 2010 would have been just under $20k? your 105,000km service will cost you - suggest you seek a good independant. There are a few within easy driving distance of Lawson I believe.

      18k (private). Got a service booked at Mountain Mechanics (Adam Law) - VW specialist.

          $18k was my first thought but didn't want to say it incase you paid closer to $20k.

          Enjoy the drive.
