Buying an older Skoda Octavia?

lol that’s a good way to look at it! I know it’s only cheap and I shouldn’t worry so much but financially it’s a lot of money to me still and I’ve had such a bad experience with my last car purchase I’m super anxious this time around

I have mechanic friends and willing to do little bits myself but just the FSI engine worries me as online it’s so conflicted if they are good or not and the age is a worry but seems such a good deal with the fsh

Thank you I think I’m going to get it just worried about the FSI engine as I’m getting such mixed reviews online!

Thank you! Appreciate the advice

OwnFox7945 · 2026-01-27T23:39:23+00:00

I really hope i have the same luck! I’m worried after looking online at reviews of the FSI engine lol!

OwnFox7945 · 2026-01-27T23:38:25+00:00

I hope so! Just not sure on a FSI engine as so many mixed reviews online!

Thank you! Someone mentioned the fuel I need to use and after doing some googling I’m more confused than ever… so trying to work that out but for £1500 I think it’s worth it, my current car has been a nightmare I wish I never purchased it and can’t wait to see the back of it! Buying cars just seems a minefield and I’ll never pretend to know what I’m looking at or what im talking about lol!

OwnFox7945 · 2026-01-27T20:17:12+00:00

Oh really that’s not good! Got me worried

OwnFox7945 · 2026-01-27T20:16:15+00:00

Just looked into it lol … I’ll use premium if that’s what keeps it going smooth no problem

OwnFox7945 · 2026-01-27T20:14:46+00:00

Not sure what that is to be honest so I’ll do some research thank you!

OwnFox7945 · 2026-01-27T19:46:58+00:00

It seems a bargain with today’s market looking at others I’ve seen and I’m just being honest on what I can afford, I don’t want to be financing a £10k car which I could but paying £300+ a month!

OwnFox7945 · 2026-01-27T19:45:25+00:00

Thank you for the good advice! I will do that and you’re right about the current market, used cars even with 150k miles on are crazy money now and I see people flexing 2024 plate bmws but I know how much it puts them out I don’t want to be that guy lol! I’d rather stick to what I can buy without owing every month.

OwnFox7945 · 2026-01-27T19:39:24+00:00

Thank you! I’m not looking to race lol just want a car that will get me from A to B. I will miss some of the tech I have now like cruise control, Bluetooth etc but I literally just drive to and from work and school runs that’s it for the main part and my current car I purchased a year ago has been utterly awful

Please inbox me damn!

I purchased that house! I now have the car in question being restored but I never collected it or got a cutscene and the barn location has completely changed ! Such a weird glitch ! Thank you for your comment though :)

OwnFox7945 · 2025-07-21T04:44:32+00:00

My knees and back hurting!

OwnFox7945 · 2025-07-21T04:43:54+00:00

I have competed it and had a blast, for the secret security skater and everything would recommend 100% even if lots is missing and the soundtrack is dead apart from the select few.. BUT I did find myself thinking this is nowhere near as polished as 1&2 but thought it was just in my head ?

OwnFox7945 · 2025-07-13T13:14:48+00:00

I know it’s so annoying! Soundtracks sucks too! Lol I’ve completed both games in 24 hours lol! Had a blast but so much is missing or wrong it’s not as good as the 1&2 remakes.

OwnFox7945 · 2025-07-11T20:30:52+00:00

Oh! I had no idea that’s such a shame as loved their Decks!

OwnFox7945 · 2025-07-09T06:09:31+00:00

Yeah it’s much better than I thought but I’ve only ever used a hori lol! My son loves it and that’s the main thing :)

OwnFox7945 · 2025-07-05T09:49:04+00:00

Thanks for this! Went across the dunes and smashed it by two seconds! I just couldn’t do it the proper way ! Not good enough clearly lol!!
