Of course these deals turn up just after you buy one though... 2011 SKODA OCTAVIA RS 125TDI 1Z MY11 Wagon Private Cars For Sale in NSW - carsales.com.au

Man that's a great deal. I paid similar money for a 2008 pre-FL RS sedan just 4 months ago. I would have bought that wagon in a heartbeat.

So got my new set of ContiSposrtContact5's on today and feel's great in the quick drive to work I had. Wheels are filthy though with all the tyre fitting goop etc. 10km into my drive the low pressure indicator came on. I went to the closest servo and all tyres were at 37-39psi. I tried to match them up to 36psi and reset the sensor. Hoping I don't have a flat tyre when I get to my car after work tonight.

It ll do that every time after new tyres, the sensors are still working off the rolling diameter of the old tyres.

Thanks mate. Figured it probably freaked them out a bit.

Buyers of RS's now have some great second hand FL options. The last 3 cars I've had before the RS have been demos because you save so much damn money on them, unfortunately when I bought there was near to no FL RS's on the market so I begrudgingly bought new.

This is the same spec as my car but with a year and 4700km under the belt (ie as good as brand new)... But $7k less (advertised, guessing some arm twisting would get another 1-2k off)...

I agree! They are just the best tyres! so quiet, and so grippy at the same time.
Good choice!
