Skoda Octavia 2004

[Achtung]

Went to see an Octy. Wonder whats the going rate for one now? A few Ks above Papare Value? or what?

 

How was the price of a mid 2004 Octy brand new?

 

I was rather perturbed when a 2004 registered octy was manufactured in 2002. Any probs with that?

 

Advice please from bros here.

Price for brand new Octy Ambiente was 85k last year... it has now dropped to around 73k if I'm not wrong ... Why not just pop down to the showroom and find out more?

 

My car was manufactured in 2000 and registered in 2001... don't really think it's much of a problem

 

Resale Octys are quite cheap actually ... can check with Cartimes, seen quite a few with them on and off

The paper value is a mere 42K and the owner wants 62K. No way lor.

Hi,

 

It is a common occurence to the other continental cars (never owned a Japanese ones) I have owned, I do not see any issues with that. However, I do experienced our local salers (of course they are trying to make a buck), try to lower your selling price, and not the other way round.

 

The only other thing that affects is the lower premium of my insurance, which is great. Understand that insurance calculates the "age of the car" starts then. Note, the reason is probably the BER (beyond economic repair) amounts

 

Make the best out of it.

Can anyone tell me, whats the normal depreciation for an Octy?

[XLR8]

Dealer selling around 5.5k to 6.5k depending on the model. Eg Classic, Ambiente or Elegance auto/manual. Maybe private owner can get cheaper.

 

The non facelift Octy(up to early 2001) can get around $5k-5.2k if I'm not mistaken.

Its an Ambiente Auto. OK, I will gun for 4.8K thereabouts.

4.8K for Ambiente auto is a bit low but can still try thru private owners. Or unless you get those with 80% parf then they have to sell at a lower dep.

 

2003-2004 Ambiente I think kinda difficult to get 4k plus dep. Unless that seller too rich or

Hi,

 

For my classic is about S$5,580 assuming linear depreciation for 10 years and no interests on Hire Purchase.

I saw one May 04 going at 62K with OMV at 20K. If you work this out based on a linear 9 year depreciation, that would work out to about about 5.6K depreciation per year. The annual depreciation is slight higher to a new Altis which goes at about 5.5K.

 

A new Octavia costs about 73K.

May '04 Octy going for $62K?

 

You are better off getting getting a brand new one, auto, at $65K.
