In a surprising turn of events that could only be described as a gearhead’s delight, a 2005 Skoda Octavia VRS 1.8 Turbo has hit the Coimbatore used car market, but the price tag might just do more than turn heads—it could potentially turbocharge your wallet! Priced at an eyebrow-raising INR 5 lakh, this fourth-owner speedster has clocked a respectable 1.65 lakh km on the odometer and boasts a manual transmission, perfect for those who like to feel every shift in their soul.
But wait, there’s more! This isn’t your average Skoda Octavia. The MK1 RS model has been pimped out with a suite of modifications that would make even the most reserved car enthusiast’s heart race. From a Code 6 Remap stage 2+ with pops and bangs tune to a custom paint job in corrida red with detailing, this car screams personality and power. The list of enhancements reads like a petrolhead’s wish list, including a BMC dia air intake, Code6 custom front mounted intercooler, ECS tuning parts galore, Forge blow off valve, Walbro external fuel pump, and much, much more.
Adding to the vehicular symphony is a sound system that could rival most home audio setups, featuring a DVD system with screens for both front and rear passengers, and a JBL Subwoofer and Amplifier set worth INR 30,000. Custom leather interiors and 3M films for the front and side windows ensure that the car’s aesthetic appeal matches its sonic boom.
However, not everyone is revved up about this deal. A user by the name of ash_azii pointed out, “That engine gave up everything already by running 185k and adding the list of INR 5000 to 6000 product doesn’t justify the depreciation of a car!” They further mused that any potential buyer would likely need to consider an engine overhaul to bring this beast back to its prime condition.
In a city like Coimbatore, known for its race course and a populace with a penchant for speed, this Skoda Octavia VRS might just find a buyer willing to overlook its mileage in favor of its souped-up specs and unique charm. Whether it’s a bargain or a project car in disguise, one thing’s for certain: this deal is accelerating conversations and maybe, just maybe, it will find its way into the garage of a car enthusiast ready to take on its legacy and perhaps, a bit of a mechanical challenge.
