    They posted on facebook yesterday that they have increased production so expect more stock to get here. None of that makes sense with orders taking so long at the moment.

    I was upset before, now I'm really pissed.
    I have been trying to contact the salesjerk at Trivett Rosebery and haven't been able to get through. The reason is that Trivett now sell Skoda at their Parramatta branch. It was so nice of them to let us know.
    I am still waiting to hear from the relevant sales moron there. I am still keen to buy the RS as the equivalent car that has a similar level of fruit is the A4 Avant which is a lot more expensive.
    I just posted a not happy comment on their Facebook page. I wonder how long it will stay for

    I've posted multiple times on various posts of theirs telling others about the crazy long waits. They never responded to me, probably think I'm trolling. I am in a way, but they need to acknowledge there is a massive problem at the moment. Potential customers also need to know this. And honestly, from current customers, not from dealers.

    Edit: look for another dealer.... There are good ones around.

    I'm sure their business plan is like this to force people to vw or Audi. I'm waiting because I'm a stubborn bastard.
    Skoda has a monkey pulling individual orders out of a big barrel. That's how they allocate the build dates. If the monkey has to do a crap it wipes it's date with the order and that one never gets built until someone gets brave enought to clean the crap off the order.

    I imagine it as the orders get printed in batches, then someone walks out with reams of them above the factory floor, and they just throw the out and watch thousands of sheets of paper go all over the floor. Workers then pick paper up and start building. Sometimes sheets go under machines, and don't get found until the end of the month clean.

    This seems the most plausible explanation to how orders are processed.

    Is there a chance you're just a victim of one occasion of poor communications between branches? I understand how frustrated you must feel but I was happy with service at Parra. I'd chase it one more time and bail if they don't redeem themselves.
