Skoda Octavia RS price any good?

I 've seen a Skoda Octavia RS for sale for £4995 with only 45k miles and full service & history is this a good price? I've already done a vehicle history check on the internet and it came back as a clean car with no bad history. I would trade my Honda in for it and probably get 2k off! is that a good deal? My Honda has 72k miles and it's a 2003 model just like the Skoda. The Skoda looks really well looked after too with full leather! Could anyone out there please tell me if this is a bargain and what should I look out for before buying.

That's a good price, Don't follow Parker's guide as they are way too low. I brought mine with 110k on the clock for 3k so a couple more grand for half the mileage is good. Check the water pump and cambelt...Most important this needs to be done 60k OR 4 years and the water pump should be changed to metal impeller then. So this should been done for a 2003 one. It costs about £500 to get done and would need doing right away. The cars are holding there value well, I brought mine for 3k and could sell it for that again easy.

what if a vehicle is struck by lightning?

Will the passenger die? For ex. in a bus? in a sedan? in an SUV? What will happen?!

I was imagining this because when I was in a bus, it was raining hard. There were flashes of lightning and it is scary. I had this thought for quite some time now. What will happen if it hits us? The vehicle that I was in? Are cars lightning proof? What cars are lightning proof? Overall this is about vehicles and lightning -- its protection against it maybe? Thanks.thanks

There are a lot of factors involved in a valid answer. Is the car metal or fiberglass? Wet or dry?

In most cases, in a metal vehicle the charge is conducted over the car's surface, turning it into a Faraday cage, safe for occupants who do not contact the outside. (Hands in lap, roll up the windows.)

There's an excellent, understandable page about this here:

Is there any inexpensive way to transport a vehicle across country?

I'm on a limited budget and am looking to purchase a couple project/driver vehicles. Is there any way to transport them from other states inexpensively? (I would need this to be without missing work.)
I'm looking for some way to transport one car for less than the $1.00 per mile average that I've been quoted by trucking companies. I know fuel is getting expensive but I'm on a tight budget.

well depends what you consider inexpensive, you can hire about 3 different types of transporters. 1st is a car hauler big rig to retreive them, 2nd way it using a trucking company that uses trailers like the trailer my company uses call RGN Double Drop trailer or roll backs trailer. These trailers are the styles they use to transport stuff like constuction dozer where the trailer comes apart. 3rd are tranporter known as hot shots their a vehicle with flatbed/car trailers then the average person uses. you can use a brokerage company to place the cars (load) available for pick up & shipping, make sure that if it just one car being picked up that you agree to ship as a parcial load unless you want to have just you car on the rig, then it a full load with exculsive trailer usage but it will be more costly.
