I am looking at couple of RS245 on sale at used car showrooms. Can I get some pointers for what to look out for in the car? One thing I have in mind is to get the VIN & get records from Skoda, will Skoda do this, even for a cost? Is it docile enough for a daily driver? Also how does the long term maintenance look especially now with the Octavia being discontinued?

Yes, It's a heart over head decision but it also should not become a pain in the wrong places.

Unfortunately the asking price on both is north of 30L however I am yet to negotiate.

Following this thread since I am in the same boat; however, I've been looking at a VRS 230 that is closer to stock. They've been so hard to find or priced north of 25L.

I plan on using it as a daily driver and longer highway commutes on the weekends. Maybe turn it into a project car with smaller performance mods here and there without turning it into something insanely crazy.

Even though I've been a reader for well over a decade, the drive to get a VRS has finally gotten me to make an account here and be more connected to the community, so hello!
