Tim was that deal on a 230 vRS or the standard vRS? Just trying to get an idea so I can haggle with my dealer 'if' they ever decide they want to sell me one :0/

My dealer still has no information on the 230 edition despite my several calls to them and registered interest. Baffling really. Has anybody had a 230 on a PCP deal?

I have always had PCP deals. First one was Citroën, then BMW/Mini, Fiat and last two have been with VW/Skoda. Always put minimal deposit in (£500 or less) and each dealership has always paid and cleared my PCP completely. My current Skoda dealer ring me up every two years or less (they've rang me twice already to change and only had my current car since March 2014). Obviously this is great if you do want to change cars but in my experience I have never had to fork out cash to offset negative equity. Most dealers won't let you leave the showroom!

Haha my local dealer also said the same thing. I was talking to the sales manager as well and said 'the 230bhp vRS Octy looks nice'. His response 'they're doing one are they? Didn't know anything about that'. *face palm*

Thinking of investing in some OZ alloys. Anybody got OZ fitted to their Fabia? I like the WRC's in white (17's)

I was just browsing through their twitter feed and I think it's within a reply to a follower who was asking about vRS's in general. Pretty sure there will be more than 500 available, there always is!

Yeah I do like the Cupra280 just depends what the PCP payments are like. The same for VW. Better depreciation on the GTI and R over the Cupra and my local Seat dealer just wasn't interested in the slightest when I went to enquire about one.

Limited to 500 as well in the UK according to @SKODAUK Twitter feed. I have just about given up on this model now. For the money, I'll be seriously looking at a VW Golf GTI or the R (via Carwow).

Thanks for the replies folks picked up mats this evening and they are just plain with Fabia written on them as JVickery says. Oh well. At least I'm not alone in this one. Probably down to costs why they have stopped doing them? Dealer said the Octavia vRS is the same. My 2011 vRS had lovely mats in red stitching vRS logo on etc. wish I had kept them now! Lesson learned.

Afternoon all! Picked up my 2nd vRS couple of weeks ago and and dealer has said will provide me with mats (should think so as well) and they are on order. Got a call today to say Skoda don't do vRS mats anymore! My 2011 vRS had them with red stitching and had vRS logo on etc but salesman says they stopped doing them? Can anyone confirm if this is correct or have I been fobbed off with bog standard Fabia mats?

Just checked and its just shy of full (under the top line on the dipstick).

Cheers George. I'll go and check what it's at.

Hope I haven't put too much in then :0/

Hi George. All I had at home was 1 litre so I put that in. I park on a slight gradient so it was measuring halfway. I'm off out tonight to visit my folks so when I park up I'll leave it for an hour and check on the flat.

Cheers James. Went into slight panic mode yesterday and its been bothering me today at work lol.
