Tässä suht hyvä octavia seuraavalle. Autossa jonkun verran kosmeettisia ruostevaurioita (ks. Viimeiset kuvat), mutta muuten auto teknisesti kunnossa, ei siis vaikuta ajoon. Muutamia remppoja tehty:
  • kaikki jarrulevyt ja palat vaihdettu vuoden alussa
  • takavasen jarrusatula vaihdettu vuoden alussa
  • oikea etu kallistuksen vakaaja vaihdettu äskettäin
  • öljyt ja ilmansuodatin vaihdettu äskettäin
  • ilmastointikylmäaine lisätty täyteen heinäkuun lopussa
  • sisäilmapuhallin ja raitisilmasuodatin vaihdettu 2025 vuoden lopussa
  • turbo vaihdettu 3 vuotta sitten
Mukaan kahdet renkaat, talvi ja kesä. Kysy ja tarjoa.
