I'd have to agree

The fact that you can see a junction box in the photo suggests that the wires have been spliced in. Certainly the wiring I fitted just ran along the car and to the can bus behind the glove box. No physical contact with anything in the boot.

I can't find the photos of when I fitted mine but it didn't look like that, far more 'bound' and generally less messy. In fact I think the only bit that was open wires was the very end that ran into the van-bus behind the glove box. There are some Google images of the dedicated kits.

Well its certainly not a Westfalia electrics kit, I initially thought £150 for the wiring lone was steep but it was very well made. That was on my first scout, second one had a factory towbar. I agree that because virtually everything is hidden most people won't know what is fitted, which is quite scary, as I bet they often believe they have paid for the full bits.

That's pretty amateur. And lazy because if memory serves me there is a thread to put it on anyway..... But regardless that looks more like bypass wiring, not a dedicated wiring kit.

It's not looking positive with all these price rises, I'm on my second Octavia Scout lease and have extended this one for an extra 12 months as they went off order. The Superb Scout isn't coming to the UK immediately at any rate and the prices now look like the SE Tech being the only relaistice option. Hopefully the New Octavia will answer the questions for me

Have you used the non usual key or selected a different driver when you got in by accident?

Any cash cam wired in or charger plug in? Although they usually only upset DAB

Yes all UK Scouts had it fitted, although I must say on my pre fl model it was hopeless, the new one is quite good. Does the winssreeb have a skoda logo in the near side front corner?

On a very frosty morning don't forget to give LED lamps a wipe over, otherwise you spend the next 8 miles wondering why the headlights are a bit crap....

Parents made a bank transfer and took ownership, it was a couple of weeks before the end of lease date as my new one arrived and they wanted it in a certain months figures. But they looked after me so I wasn't out of pocket. The payment went to BCA I believe. It was based on the final mileage, I think I'd gone about 1500 miles over, I had to pay the excess but it was never inspected so in theory I could have dubbed, but didn't. It's a very easy process

No I could purchase, I was told by the dealer that they couldn't sell to the customer to due some tax rule. I suspect that isn't the case now as I was definitely offered the chance, however, it defeated the object for me. In terms of the price, I suspect as long as they cover the reserve they don't mind. They also save on the costs of BCA transportation and auction fees. I guess both parties win in different ways.

My parents bought my previous Scout from VWFS directly. 2 yrs old, 17k miles and £13750. Well below market value at the time.

It makes sense that your liable after the warranty period, unless you have a maintenance package. Hence why it's going at 3 years.

Just thought this might interest some of you. I'm on my second Octavia Scout, both leased. The current one is due for return in June. It's on a 2 year, 10k pa contract. I'm currently paying £265 a month, higher than my first but had it right at the launch of the facelift and has a factory tow bar. Current there is nothing out there that I fancy more, this far does everything I want and need, it'll tow a 1400 kg caravan one day and do nearly 60 to the gallon on the motorway the next. So I enquired about extending the lease, an extra 12 months nd a further 10k miles. VWFS came back with an offer of £215 a month. I've signed up and looking forward to the next year with the car. It's a very simple and straightforward process!
