New Octavia ....when? How Much?

That would be an odd thing to do, unless there is something quite substantial being added to standard features. Or just our crap dollar. I've been working on them staying the same price.

honestly, i'm calling BS on the dealer but i'm interested to see if my gut is right.

The dealer i went with was able to get me an MY 16 with identical options and an extended warranty cheaper than my local who offered to swap the MY16 for an MY15 (saving $1k) and no extra warranty.

doesn't make any sense to me and i have no idea how my local dealer will stay in business.

Given the demand and wait for the car, I don't think they mind missing out on a sale or two.

My understanding was there would be negligible difference in price for MY16, but we'll see when they release the price list

Finally received the telephone call we have been waiting for. We will be collecting the car at 11am tomorrow. I can't say I am excited but it will be nice to finally have the vehicle after such a long wait.

Surprisingly we get to keep the factory fitted wheels as the Turinis are apparently a dealer fitted option. This will give us spare wheels for when we next take a drive across Australia.

I will post photos soon.

What are the originals & do they include the tyres?

How much were the Turini's from the dealer?

$1600. Yes it is a lot and I could have got cheaper after market wheels but we liked the look of them and frankly I think they make the car just that little bit more special. The black Turini's on the Black Magic Pearl paint look very nice.

We spent too much time driving the car today to take any photographs but I will post some soon.
