Another question about buying an "older" Octavia RS
Post Body

Hey all, firstly thanks for a lot of good information about buying a used Octavia RS, but I have another question: Should I go for the turbo or the non turbo model? Is the turbo version much more maintenance heavy?

I narrowed it down to 3 specific cars and would like some input, all 3 are manuals and liftback models

The first is a '08 2.0 TDI with 207'000km developing 170 horsepower and is going for just under 6k, I'm thinking about this one because it's the cheapest and also Diesel so cheaper to run here.

The second one is a '08 2.0 Turbo FSI with 165'000km developing 200 horsepower and is going for just under 8k, this is the cheaper of the two petrol ones on sale here and only has 1k km less for a 1k discount.

The third one is a '10 2.0 TSI with 164'000km also developing 200 horsepower and is going for just under 9k, I'm thinking about this one because it's a newer model year (also it's the facelift one that I slightly prefer, looks wise).

Is there something I'm not considering?
