Skoda Octavia, 2005, Kauhajoki

🚗 TO AUCTION: Skoda Octavia 2015 – life has dented it, but not defeated it

For sale: Skoda Octavia reg. year 2015, odometer 266,783 km. It has enough kilometres to have seen more of Finland than the average Finn.

Condition?
Rust and dents on the sills. You could also call them character marks. If cars could talk, this one would tell tales of building sites, cottage trips and that one trailer that was probably too heavy.

Otherwise the car is reasonably tidy for its age. Not new, not perfect, but not one that would make the MOT inspector start looking for the emergency exit.

Electrics/engine?
Warning lights that may be visible in the photos are caused by the ignition being on while the car was switched off when the picture was taken. So the car wasn't panicking — it was just awake.

Equipment?
✔ Tow bar.

And in a Finnish car that's almost more important than the engine. You can tow a trailer, fetch firewood or launch a boat. If needed, also help that mate who bought a "cheap premium car".

Best things about this example:

• No need to park a kilometre away from other cars at the shop.

• A new scratch won't cause an existential crisis.

• It looks like it has been used. Because it has been used.

Summary:
This Skoda is no longer at the start of its career. It's more like the experienced worker who knows where the staff room is, can do the job and no longer tries to impress anyone.

Bid boldly. The car is looking for a new owner who understands that small rust spots on the sills won't stop great adventures.

"Not for beauty contests, but certainly still for launching the boat." 🚤😄
