We been pondering on what to but for work The new company do not supply a company car but give a 5100 per year car allowance. i prefer this system as the car is yours unlike company cars which you pay a ridiculous amount of tax on and at the end of the day its not yours So today o took the plung and bought a brand new Skoda Octavia VRS PD170 (Turbo Diesel) in Metallic Black. Great deal and on 3 years @ 1.5% APR Also got the Mrs's a Fabia Sport 1.4TDI in White Got Great deal on both cars can't wait to pick the Octavia up next friday, had two in the past but 20VT Models. What can they PD170 Be chipped upto without any other mods ?
They'll go over 200bhp, but ditch the DPF and they'll do 240 according to Awesome. Same engine as the mrs's altea fr i think.
240 sheesh What's the Engine code on them i'll have a look Is it the BMN Engine ? Got it for 16891.25 inc road tax which i thought was a good price seen them going for that second hand.

I wouldn't have spunked 16k on a car 1 week into a job personally!!! but looks a nice motor and a great price
we get about a bit aswell, Brum and leicester on Tuesday quoting. My mate had a saloon VRS tdi, we took it up to UD, lovely car
the reason a lot of companies don't do company cars is the agro of an employee leaving or them wanting rid - and they have committed to a 3 yr car agreement. For the first 12 months of employment the rule are heavily in the companies favour, and then you (and me btw!!!) are left with car finance to pay!!! I only say, because it happened to me but thankfully I picked up a new job with even bigger allowance quite quickly the fabia looks quite like a swift in that picture? are they similar in the flesh?
two nice cars, seems like a very good price on the estate aswell! If any where close to 240bhp is available its going to be a rite weapon.
