Websites etc. to look for a second hand car
Hello
I need to get hold of a Skoda Octavia 1.8T Elegance 4x4...It needs to be at least a 2002 model with around 30,000 miles on the clock and no more than £7000. The reason for the specifics is that I am only being offered an 'Exchange' for a similar Octavia I bought from a Car Supermarket that I am having major problems with.
I know about 'AUTOTRADER' and 'BRISKODA' but are there any other places as the Car Supermarket are trying to push me to try and alternative car and its a case of choose from their range or wait for an Octavia to turn up.
The thing is that apart from the Octavia I do not really want anything else. I cannot afford the Insurance on a Subaru or the 'attention' it gets and for the price you cannot get a better 'quality' car. The Skodas are part of VAG which makes them really good and being turbocharged and 4WD gives it real tuning potential.
I have also suggested a VW BORA or VW PASSAT 1.8T but I know I will not get the same age/mileage car for the same price.
I have passed on the details or BRISKODA to the Manager of this place but I need some more avenues. Please help I am using my wifes car and that is a major inconvenience for her.
Thanks to all
Aaquil.
