There doesn't seem to be the usual deals this time of year, I'm guessing because there is no floor stock to clear out.

Nov next year is my changeover date for my work car. I never thought I would be looking this far ahead to be honest. I would want to be getting a MY16, who knows what changes might happen there, but my thoughts are getting:

RS raceblue wagon in manual with $500 black pack, tech pack with camera (I like how a $50 camera translates to $300 that is std in a lot of cars now) and panaramic sunroof and extended warranty. RRP is $48k in Vic, what would be reasonable to expect to pay?

Didn't some guy post up here 46.5k driveaway with every single option? 8-10% off the list drive away price is do able for an order. Less for an in stock car.

I was thinking low 40s. I got our current 2008 RS in Nov 2008 when they had free onroads which was a raceblue man sedan with FPS and sunroof for 36k driveaway. Those days are long gone I suspect, Skoda seem to like giving out the crappy finance offer rather than free onroads like other companies, even the free extended warranty would be good without being tagged onto the finance offer. I still firmly believe we should be seeing a 10yr DSG warranty and a standard 5yr Skoda warranty. But that would mean VW would have to offer it.

Yep, i sure did. Signed the contract yesterday

I thought it was you, but wasn't sure. That's a pretty good price for a loaded car! Now wait for Skoda to give birth to it and you'll have your baby

Just noticed noone mentions window tint. I forgot completely about it with my RS, and intended to get it done myself with my last car but that guy doesn't have a lot of love for VAG cars as he pulls trim off to install (Rob at Ringwood tinters). What have people in Melb been doing?

Yes, Rob Tait. Tinted my Subie, loves them, hates the VAG's - 'cos as you say, he pulls the trim off to install. Great guy though, really helpfull. Wasn't excited to do the tint on the wifes golf.
