New Skoda VRS

[Gaz]

Black is the new black! It looks very nice indeed.
And not a trace of red dust, was the car inside the dealers the other night when it rained?

It came from Wollongong today, so I am guessing they had it inside after having it detailed or they managed to miss the dusty downpour.

I ordered mine yesterday! Candy White petrol dsg RS wagon. Optioned leather, sunroof, tow and will get nice dark tint afterwards. Only problem now is delivery ain't until Feb 2010. That sucks big time!

To make matters worse I just sold my other car which means cabs for 4 months. Anyone selling a cheap run about or has a spare car for 4 months?

Congrats backdoc, Candy white is a great colour with dark tint.
Buggar about selling your car so early but should be worth the wait for the new ride.

Got back from my OS holiday and picked up my Candy White, FL, Petrol, Manual Wagon/Combi today. Wow.......What a beautiful car to drive. The quality is brilliant.

I will detail it this weekend and give it its initial wax and take some photos for you guys.

So far, my expectations have been exceeded and they were high to begin with.

My Dad should pick his up later this week as well, so I know of two in Brisbane

[Sales @ Mentone Skoda]

Some good news guys,

We sold our first Skoda today on our debut into the Franchise and it was a Race Blue Octavia RS Liftback DSG, Leather and Nav.

Our client will pick it up this Friday and will be seen in the bayside area from then on.

Obviously i won't post on every sale but i thought i would let you know that we are well and truly up and running now and looking forward to the future.

Cheers

Chris

Another word for 'Wagon' or 'Estate'

Congratulations Mentone-hope it's the first of many.
Tell me-do you have factory floor mats in stock and if so what are they worth? My car is a 2007 RS Combi/estate/wagon.

I locked in an order today for a blue wagon, petrol, DSG .. it was at the dealer so no wait, not a demonstrator, and has charcoal leather, sunroof and those weird fog turn signal things. Should get it within 14 days I hope.
Going to fit some of the dealer skoda original accessories.

Our previous family car was a reliable and comfortable golf v tdi, but it was feeling a bit squeezy, so hopefully this change-over will work out. I love diesels, but after 3 years want a change for a bit.

other cars considered: subaru, tiguan, passat, a4 avant, merc c220 wagon and (briefly) various yummy-mommy vehicles like the volvo xc60, rx 450h & X5!

tiguan: rejected because it seemed small
audi Q5: unobtanium and half the price hidden in options
subaru: see them too often
passat: concerned about reliability, felt a bit bland
a4 avant: options drive the price sky high
merc c220: base model feels cheap inside, options = $$$s
xc60: wanted diesel, hated their diesel
rx 450h: a hybrid planet destroying SUV?
X5: at the daycare pickup time you can't swing a child without hitting four of them. No thanks.
new prius: very tempted..

I hope the vrs will not drone on long trips if so I'll get it dynamat'd to within an inch of its life!
