Hi All,

We are considering an Octavia RS Wagon (TSI & DSG) for our new family car and thought I might see if the Skoda community has some advice.


I am torn between waiting for a getting a MY17 with the 1.9% + free servicing, vs waiting for a MY18 Facelift.

On the financial side of things, the 1.9% is almost impossible to beat, it certainly works out much cheaper than any of the available finance options if we were to wait for a MY18, that said I really like the idea of the, improved tune, active dampers, and the fact the MY18 will be the current spec etc.


However it seems the dealers know this too! So I’m a bit worried about my bargaining power from that perspective, in most cases the main dealer here in SA has MY17’s advertised with 1.9% + 75,000km service pack at or even a few hundred above the original drive away price! (Maybe I should be looking interstate, as looks like there are far better deals in Victoria)

So the question is… is the Facelift worth the extra cost, and if not, what’s a fair price for a MY17? (I’m thinking $45kDA TSI, DSG, metallic, tech, 1.9%, 5 year warranty & 3 years servicing).

Anyone else in the same predicament? Or has anyone been able to bag a good deal on a MY17 that they would care to share?

Thanks in advance!

Lewis
