1.2 DSG Indoor Yeti ordered 25/3/2014, built w/c 5/5/2014 and arrived at dealership today.

Dealer just told us that we have a provisional build week 20, i.e. just a couple of weeks away. Can that really be true? Very quick if so.

Ordered 1.2 TSI S DSG yesterday, 25/3/2014. Nothing special: Corrida Red with white roof and a spare wheel. Bracing myself for a four month wait.

Good work! We struggled to find a dealer who would take more than £500 off before we went to the internet-based brokerages, who put us in touch with dealers who would, but only for cash. Truthseeker's description seems close to our experience.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm delighted to have found this forum! As has been pointed out, 0% and free servicing are not available on Yetis at the moment which is why this was a question in the first place. I think, having done some sums in the light of silver1011's helpful post above, that it's close enough that there's no point in paying the servicing fees up front, so we have decided not to take out the servicing plan. @137699: one additional reason not to take out the 0% finance (if it were available) is the hefty discount for cash that we seem to have negotiated. Still waiting for the offer in writing but the deal seems very good. Thanks again!

Hello! Please go gently on me -- I'm a complete newbie. My wife and I are considering buying our first ever brand new car, which will be a 1.2 TSI Yeti. One of the things I am not sure about is whether the Skoda service plan is a good buy or not. Our annual mileage is likely to be 8000 or under, lots of short journeys, and my expectation is that annual servicing will be the way to go. We've been offered the three-year/30,000 mile service plan for £454. It is very hard to figure out what exactly this includes. Skoda's description of the regular 1-year and 2-year services at http://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/service-and-maintenance/national-pricing/servicing/ does not seem consistent with the service plan description which simply states "The service includes a maximum of: 1x Oil change at 10,000 miles or 12 months 1x Inspection service at 20,000 miles or 24 months 1x Oil change at 30,000 miles or 36 months 1x Dust and pollen filter at 36 months 1x Brake fluid change (if required) †" (http://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/service-and-maintenance/service-plans) Not having bought the Yeti yet, I can't seem to find information on what servicing is actually required to retain the warranty and what is recommended. In any case, the Skoda pricing on 1 and 2 year services comes to a total of £507 which is not a lot more than the service plan. Any help in understanding what's required and the best way to go with this would be much appreciated. Thanks!
