Taking delivery of an Octavia vRS

[dArK5HaD0w]

I picked up my car from Pennant Hill Skoda, no gifts from them either, I heard Lexus is the best at customer service, especially the Chatswood one, you get flowers/Wine for car delivery, even if you go for a service, you get free coffee and buffet in their lounge, it's ridiculous (in a good way).

when i picked mine up back in 2010 at lennock skoda, it was under a green felt, for a big reveal, on the showroom floor.
covers lifted, pic with the general manager, 20 min one on one with dealer explaining everything inside and outside of the car, then driven off the showroom floor.

heard they don't do it anymore though.....

That's a beautiful beast, sad they don't do the yellow no more. and there was no green felt for me, car was sitting in the showroom beautifully, the sales person did offer me a coffee, turned out the coffee machine in Skoda was out of order,so he grabbed a coffee for me from Audi next door(they are also Audi dealer). so aside from an 'Audi' coffee, I received no gifts.

Hope all the paint issues get sorted for you.. I've noticed some minor issues on mine but it it's on the inside lip of the rear wheel arches.. not easy to see. So I'm not sure if I could part with the car to get it fixed...

I do have some really minor paint issues too, but for me, if it's not likely to affect the resale value in many years time, then it is not worth bring in to a dealer.

When I collected my Ambition wagon last year in Adelaide I was treated to the full reveal and briefing so no complaints about the sales service provided by Solitaire Skoda in Adelaide. Pity my wife was unable to take time off work to come too, she loves that sort of theatrical flourish.

its sad that vw aus decided not to allow oz customers the choice of yellow with the new mk3.
skoda still offers, elsewhere, sprint yellow with the mk3
the yellow and green are now the only two remaining colors that r unique to the mk3 RS.

, it was under a green felt,

That is velvet

Felt is what they use to make Akubra hats and externally cover Mongolian yurts

Just a pedant. A velvet jacket was pretty cool in the 80s. A felt jacket didn't have the same impact
