Hi guys! A few days ago I found this forum after searching for more information about delivery times for Škoda Octavia, and since then I've been reading through this topic to get a better picture of how things actually work. Now, after reading through most of the posts in this topic it seems natural for me to share my experience.
So, I have ordered my Octavia Style on the 14th of July last year. At that moment I was told that the approx. waiting time is 9 months, with which I was cool since I didn't need new car immediately. So the 9-month period I was told about ended on the 14th of April and the car obviously didn't arrive.
Since the end of January, I am periodically calling my sales representative to see if there is something new happening about the delivery. At the end of January, I was told that my car was ready for production but then it halted because of the fire in Mlada Boleslav. From that point on every time I would call my sales representative he would tell me that situation is pretty bad and that I should prepare for a scenario in which the car will be delivered at the end of 2022. or beginning of 2023. So he was straight with me since the beginning of this agony, which I appreciate very much.
Despite all these negatives, last phone call with a sales rep. was somewhat positive because he told me that my car is finally in production. He also told me that I should not get my hopes too high just yet because even if it is possible that the car will arrive in 1 month more realistic scenario is that I will have to wait 3 to 4 more months for the delivery.
And that is my experience so far. I will try and update you with any new information that I receive.
To whom it may concern...I am from Croatia and I ordered my Octavia from one of the dealerships near Zagreb.
