    Skoda Octavia 2012

    Skoda Octavia 2012

    FROM
    $5,500

    The 2012 Skoda Octavia range of configurations is currently priced from $5,500.

    Our most recent review of the 2012 Skoda Octavia resulted in a score of 6 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing Journalist Graham Smith had this to say at the time: Auto gearbox problems make the Octavia a risky choice, better to buy a manual.Boyd Droscher: The 2.0 TDI I bought in 2009 has 220,000km on the dial and is now a spare car due to its low resale value. I can't fault it except for the poor seat comfort and the DSG lag. It has been very reliable, and economical to run. We have had it loaded to the hilt and it has not missed a beat.

    This is what Graham Smith liked most about this particular version of the Skoda Octavia: Affordable European motoring., Engine performs well with thrifty fuel consumption.

    The 2012 Skoda Octavia carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1400 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Skoda Octavia 2012 FAQs

    What is a fair price for a 2012 Skoda Octavia with 184,000km?

    In most cases, engine life has far more to do with long-term service and maintenance than anything else. A new vehicle with the correct preventative maintenance and servicing can easily cover 200,000, 300,000 or even 400,000km before major work is needed. But the same car with patchy maintenance might last only a fraction of that distance before it needs major engine work. So the service record is where to look first when considering a particular vehicle.

    The type of driving the vehicle has done is also important. A car that has spent all its life in stop-start, gridlocked traffic will rarely cover the same distance as a car that has been used for highway driving where it’s in a high gear and just idling along. So try to find out about the car’s ownership history, too.

    The price of the car you’re looking at seems to be at the high end of things for this year and mileage, but not by a whole lot. Certainly, most sellers post a price higher than they will take to allow for some haggling room during negotiations.

    Octavia's the one

    Congratulations on the new family, which you should put into an Octavia. It's a roomy family wagon, it's great value and gets The Tick from me.
