The 2008 Skoda Octavia carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1400 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Skoda Octavia 2008 prices range from $4,510 for the basic trim level Sedan Ambiente to $9,130 for the top of the range Wagon RS.
I believe VW introduced a recommendation to change the belt every four years to prevent belt failures, and I would guess that the recommendation from your mechanics is based on the fact that your car is six years old. Quiz them by all means, but I would err on the side of caution and have the belt changed.
