Is it worth buying a car if the sat nav SD card has been lost?

What is your opinion of buying a 2017 Skoda Octavia which needs an SD card for the sat nav? I just read a forum and it sounds a nightmare. I'm not good with technology.

A new SD card from a Skoda dealer will cost you between £250 and £350. I'm pretty sure the Amundsen system needs an official Skoda SD card to work properly. If the owner has lost or sold the original, demand the money be deducted from the price of the car. Or, better still, find another Octavia for sale that still has its factory-fit SD card: www.honestjohn.co.uk/cars-for-sale/search/Skoda/Oc...0
