Fantastic - enjoy and great colour👍

Looks amaing

Looks great Great looking car 👍

My car was built in week 22 (week commencing 29th May). The dealer said to expect delivery late late July. It arrived in the dealership on 28 June and i collected it on 30th June. From the build date to collection for me was around 4 weeks. I think i was lucky as i ordered the car on 24th May which meant from order to collection was only 12 weeks! (Vrs estate tsi dsg with a few extras.)

I can understand your frustration in the waiting time and hope you enjoy your new car. I collected my new vrs a few weeks ago and so far it has been faultless so fingers crossed it continues that way

I did it my self so Just the cost of the autoglym ceramic spray. It’s not like a full ceramic coating but i find it gives good protection and lasts a couple of months for added protection

Ceramic spray applied this morning after collection yesterday

My Velvet Red , collected yesterday and given a ceramic spray protection today

Ceramic spray applied following collection yesterday.

Thanks for your very helpful reply. Much appreciated. He did say the issue affected certain models, but not all. The dealer is not aware of replacement covers yet being rolled out in UK. No criticism aimed at the dealer (Marshalls in Barnstaple) who i have had a very good buying experience from.

Picked the car up and all good. I have noticed there is no engine cover. Dealer has said that a recall dated 22 March 2022 all engine covers had to be removed on vrs. Am i right in thinking that there now a revised cover that can/should be fitted? Seems crazy to have an open exposed engine? If so is there anything i can point the dealer too? Many thanks

Just has this photo from the dealer. Car ready for co

Just has this photo from the dealer. Car ready for collection tomorrow 👍

I think i must be very lucky. I ordered a VRS TSI DSG Estate in special order Velvet red on 24.3.23 and was quoted a delivery time of 10-14 weeks. Just had a call from Marshalls in Barnstaple to say that car arrives with them tomorrow and i am collecting it on Friday!! Tim Hart at the dealership has been excellent in keeping me informed - 14 weeks from order to collection. I will post a picture on Friday. Happy and lucky i think.

Is this a hybrid model?

Stunning

Sparkystodd thats a stunning machine. I have a 2.0 tsi dsg estate in Velvet Red with the build week 22 and projected delivery for late July/ early Aug on order. Can’t wait. 👍

I have been looking to buy a new car and eventually settled on an Octavia vrs estate. I ended up purchasing from Marshalls in Barnstaple who made the process simple and hassle free. This is my first and only dealing with the dealership but based on this so far i highly recommend them

Good morning I am soon (?) to be a new Skoda owner. I have ordered an Octavia VRS estate (2.0 TSI 245 PD DSG) in Velvet red metallic. Delivery is estimated to be 10 weeks +. This will be my first Skoda having previously had BMW’s Audi’s, Subaru’s etc. I was impressed on a long test drive how well the car seemed to be made with no rattles, a good standard spec and reasonable performance for a very practical car. I guess i will get more of an idea of a build date as the weeks progress. I live near Exeter and purchased/ordered the car at Marshalls in Barnstaple who, i have to say, were excellent and made the purchase a simple and good experience. Happy days
