Hi, I am thinking of buying a used 2018 Octavia vRS 230. It has run 55,000 km and is a second-owner car. However, I am a bit sceptical about owning it and managing its maintenance expenses. I can save โน20,000 per month for maintenance (โน2.4 lakh per year). Should I still go ahead and buy it? My running per month would be around 1,000 km.
It really depends on the price youโre paying and the condition of the car. For a 2018 Skoda Octavia RS (vRS 230) thatโs clocked 55,000 km and is a second-owner example, you shouldnโt be paying more than Rs 20-22 lakh, assuming itโs in excellent condition with a full and verifiable service history.
The bigger concern with a used RS is how itโs been driven and maintained. At 55,000 km, itโs a fair amount of use for a performance sedan, so pay close attention to the suspension, wheels, and tyres, as these take quite a beating on our roads. Make sure you get a comprehensive service record, and if it has been serviced outside an authorised Skoda workshop or by unqualified tuners, itโs best to steer clear.
If the car is mechanically sound and has been well cared for, it can still give you several years of enjoyable ownership. With your estimated maintenance budget of around Rs 2.4 lakh per year, you should be able to keep it running reliably, provided there are no major mechanical surprises.

I currently drive the Octavia A7 2.0 TDI and have clocked 1.60 lakh kms. Car is now out of warranty Looking to upgrade in budget of 30-40 lakh rupees with similar driving dynamics and quality. Please advise
Sadly, there is absolutely nothing in the Rs. 30-40 lakh range that can replace your Skoda Octavia and give you a similar driving pleasure. In fact, there are no sedans at all in that price range, and neither are there any SUVs with the character and feel of the Octavia you are looking for.
The Octavia RS is your best option, but on-road prices around Rs 60 lakh are way beyond our budget. The Skoda Kodiaq in the region of Rs. 50 lakh is less of a stretch, and though it's an SUV, it has Skodaโs DNA of good ride and handling.
If you simply cannot stretch your budget, you can downgrade to the Skoda Slavia 1.5 with the 7-speed DSG. Itโs a very entertaining car to drive fast, and being a sedan comes closest to your Octy in terms of character.
