New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[Zenio]

On a quick calc with all those options, $49K is about a $2k discount on retail? Based on history (mine and others) I reckon they can do better (you are ordering the kitchen sink after all!), but depends on how hard you want to negotiate and if they want to make less money.

Also,

Å*KODA Financial Services - Å*KODA Financial Services Australia

This is going on at the moment, read the fine print, might be no good for you, but if it is be aware of it when negotiating (and its appears to come with the finance so don't factor it into any DA pricing).

Retail drive away quote was $52k...so at $49k it's a 3k or 5.7% discount.

Thanks to everyone for your prompt feedback, it has supported what I was anticipating to pay as well. Will continue to aim for $47 - $47.5k or $48k max if they throw in a few additional incentives. Will report back soon hopefully with some good news.

P.s. If anyone wants to PM me their recommended dealer, where you achieved your deal, it would also be most appreciated.

Does anyone know how long it takes from the time the car is built to when it is shipped?

imcan see in the Skoda app my car was built June 9th but it still isn't showing up in the tracker...

Usually 2-3 weeks

Updated brochures for MY16 are up on the website

Elegance grade is replaced by Style - horrible name in my opinion

Prices are up $200 to $700

SmartLink is a $250 option on Ambition Plus, standard on all models above

I'm thinking it's probably time to go have a serious chat with my current dealer and also another chat with the new one nearby. Price increases I will pretend don't exist.

They need to work harder on that website - go to brochures from the front page and you get MY16; go via the Octavia model page and you get MY15.5

Spot the difference... Can't really see much for the VRS except for the rear seatbelt reminders and new wheel options?

I'm only seeing the MY15.5 no matter which way I try to get the brochure. At least in the URL description, maybe the doc is different

Configurator is updated as well –*http://cc-sea-cloud.skoda-auto.com/aus/aus/en-au

AH, the pricing specs changes, not the actual brochure itself which is still the Dec 14 version. You are confusing me, it's not the brochure at all, rather the pricing specs sheet.
