Skoda Auto Sales in Australia via vfacts

They really need a supply, but seeing as VW are even having problems with that, what can you do?

Indeed. Mate of mine just bought a Golf GTI, but basically had a choice of a red demo model, an optioned up white one (with options he didn't really want) for $5k more or wait a while for them to come in. He opted for the white one since he didn't fancy going without a car for a while.

There seems to be a glut of 3 dr Gtis if you are happy to have whats around, I've seen them driveaway for 38k at the moment....he must have encountered a busier dealer, or wanted the 5 door.

I believe he went the 5 door.

The latest Car Advice article on the Superb Wagon has the following quote...

The latest VFACTS figures reveal that 638 Skodas had been sold from January to June this year, up on last year’s 477 for the same time period. Of those, 130 were Superbs;

The whole article can be seen here..

Another ringing endorsement...the problem is even if people start taking notice there are not many to be found around and even the one that are coming have been held back from dealers I've heard..which seems like a strange move from Skoda management.

Any news on July figures?

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but I have heard that Victoria Police have recently ordered 5 RS vehicles for unmarked highway patrol vehicles. (not sure if wagons or liftbacks)

So next time you spot an RS, slow down!

Skoda seem confident of announcing that they will sell about 1800 cars this year (so ~ 150/month) in this article below

I was provided with some information from my dealer recently which showed that Skoda sales have increased by 44% over the last 12 Months whic came from vFacts.

Good news for all Skoda owners i think.

Wow, looks promising although keep in mind 44% growth with a low starting figure may not be huge figures. Definately heading in the right direction regardless..

So what you are saying is that almost every person who didn't buy a Chrysler purchased a Skoda instead?
