New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[Polo GTEye N9]

So went spoke to different dealer today which I was recommend by a very helpful member, and not only did he do an awesome price he also educated me a little on the car, 2015 model, around April delivery, $43250 drive away, leather seats, tech pack, black pack, alarm, extended warranty. Or 42250 without leather. 11% off the full retail. Off to try a 328i most likely tomorrow and should have made my decision by end of the week, but at that price it really does make me happy, especially when every other dealer wouldn't budge from 45k. I know it's only a couple grand less but at 45k I can't help but feel that it starts to take me into a different choice of car, even if second hand.

We test drove an MY14 RS DSG Swagon last Wednesday, there good very good but the dealer would not even consider less than $45k MLP qouted straight from the Skoda Brochure.
The search continues.....

Wow that's an impressive price. I paid $42k for a 2012 (MkII) manual RS wagon with leather and sunroof and I thought I got a good deal.

Maybe due to wait times the dealers are prepared to virtually give the cars away rather than have you go buy a different brand.

Plenty of other dealers around. Don't be afraid to try interstate. Plane fares are cheap these days.

Alternatively, don't ask the dealer what their price is, tell them what you'll pay and leave them your number.

Sweet. I like hearing about others getting their order.

When did you order, and what were your specs again? (Tapatalk doesn't show sigs)

I ordered 25 may, so 3 weeks after you GTR27?

The Ambition+ Cappuccino beige DSG wagon, w (faux) leather, RPS, mudflaps and voice BT. I think that's all.

I found my invoice doing my car allowances recently. Early Nov 2008 I paid $36k for a man raceblue RS Hatch with sunroof and front sensors. Ended up getting another $1k thrown in by VWA as well to seal the deal and was given a tradein that matched private sales prices. How times have changed but it was just after the GFC when car stocks were piling up at the docks for all makes.

We will be wanting a sunroof again for sure, definitely the tech pack and most likely black pack. Again another manual. My wife is toyign with the idea of a wagon this time though. I think the hatches definitely go for less.

Looks like a bunch of Aussie cars getting built WK 35-40.

Shows how much tech pack delays it though.... 7 weeks...

There not, finding it difficult to get under 45k from any dealer except one and I've tried 7 so far. They won't even price match 45k.

Who did you lock your final deal with Stiv?

Hey pologteye, the quote I got was for the hatch sedan with dsg with those extras, I've tried interstate also when I was in queensland, and melbourne happens to do the best deals so far. I told them if they beat 45k I'd sign, otherwise I'd take the bmw 328i second hand I was looking at. I was referred by a member to deal with a salesman that is just straight up, easy to talk to, no messing around. Because this member also purchased from him, he looked after me, all I asked was if he could beat 45k, called me back with 43250 with all that I requested, or minus 1k for the leather if I didn't want it. So I went today to brighton bmw to try the 2012 328i advertised at 60k, turns out it sold for 52k, damn it. So I still need to try one before I commit. I did test drive a 325 today, not what I'm after but boy do bmw know how to make cars. Also swung past brighton skoda and asked for his best deal with my options, said he can not even beat 45k. So I suggest you give peninsula skoda a call and speak with John. I'm sure he will do his best to look after you.
