I am now able to order the 3.6 V6 DSG Elegance as it's showing on the system.

There MUST be someone who is considering buying a V6-DSG?

I really want to be one of the first to take an order for a 3.6 Superb.

Anyone with a Superb MKI 2.8 fancy a new one?

Long shot I know....

Is there an in house prize for selling the 1st one James?

No but a P45 for anyone that does order one without a decent deposit ;-)

I would love one!

And a turbo kit...

I was in a smallish, established, Skoda dealer this morning and dealer principal reckoned he wouldn't ever see one, let alone sell one. How many Passat R36's do you see? Audi's - yes, but that's an established market.

To buy a 3.6l 4x4 Superb you'd need to be really committed to a big fast Skoda. And prepared to lose about £10,000-£15,000 in the first year alone.

I honestly can't see anyone except the Czech police buying these. I'd love to see the write-up in the Police evaluation section. It'll say just the thing for pursuing motorway speeders between motorway services, at which point you have to refuel.

Don't get me wrong, I'd seriously consider one at a year or two old once the depreciation has taken the price down to something considerably less, but as a new car proposition, it's going to be a very brave choice. But this is from the man who once spent £34,000 (of someone elses' money) on a Citroen C6:rolleyes:

If your serious James, order it and when it's 6 months old i will have it for £11k

Can you add,

Heated rear seats,

Sound system,

Sunset glass,

Dipping rear view mirror,

Rear lip spoiler,

Black metallic paint.

Don't think i missed anything.

Yes i did, 4x4.

Thanks

UUUMMMMMM .........No thanks James ......may have to find a manual diesel Superb at some point though

Tempted, will you sell it for a MK2 Octavia vRS and a packet of chewits???

I'll give you a 56plate Octavia 1.9 tdi ambiente estate, 2 packets of chewits, a 5 year old mountfield lawnmower, and 10% of all my future lotttery winnings...........over to you James.

I'd buy it...if I had a controlling stake in Exon-Mobile or BP or Shell or a fetish for petrol station forecourts...

When I ordered my next company car (Superb II 1.8 TSI DSG), the price after discount was around 28.000 euros. The budget the company allowed me were 35.000 euros... but for a diesel car (the typical A4 Avant 2.0 TDI with some extras). They told there was no problem in ordering a petrol car if the difference was 35.000 - 28.000 = 7.000 euros.

At the very last moment, the dealer offered us a 3.6 V6 with the same equipment for over 32.000 euros. If it'd been the 1.8 TSI, those 35.000 - 32.000 = 3.000 euros wouldn't have been a problem with the current fuel prices... but a petrol 3.6 V6 is another story.

Personally, I think if the offered price had been 30.000 euros, my company had said "yes". But unfortunately for me this wasn't the case...

Still waiting for the vRS......

I am supprised it is not a "stand alone model", you can get it in S Spec, now there would be a sleeper car :eek:

To be fair, he never mentioned paying for it in the original post

In that case, I'll take two!

Shame it isnt the 300bhp engine though, i would have though there would be very little interest in this car in the UK because of the old fuel emmissions thing but also the drop in power wont make it a exceptionally fast car, but more of a brisk cruiser and I dont see how this would have many advantages over the diesels. The car is never going to be a track day blaster, so straight line grunt would have been its party piece but I think the 260bhp is simply not enough to get it far enough away from the others to warrent the eco death threats and risking jail by the government on environmental grounds.

Plus it would sound cooler on paper if it said 300bhp instead of 260bhp.

But still 260bhp is quite a bit of power.

but its woefully inadequate from a 3.6 !! should have well over 300. 3.2 audi had 250+.

The E46 M3 has got a 3.2 engine and that produces 344bhp.

I think they should but the new Audi S4 3.0 Turbo engine in the Superb, that would be fun!

Naw, if we're going to be silly, why can't they just stick in the R8 diesel engine ??

6.0l V12 - 500bhp & 735 lb-ft torque.

I'll take 2 please

I'm sure they could remove the rear seats and make the Veyron engine fit somehow.

For some of us there is no financial crisis...

Would you take a Roomster Scout and a Kawasaki Z1000 A6 in part exchange ...... plus a packet of chewits and a magic tree air freshener?

Hmm... That depends on a number of factors.

The main one being which flavour chewits are they?

James, what do you reckon the resale value would be after 3 years with very low mileage?

Very hard to say.

I suspect and being realistic with you, you'd probably get between 32% and 35% back after 3 years. Just checked and Skoda Finance will give you back 33% after 3 years at 6k per year if you take the car out on PCP.

The 3.6 Superb will still probably be cheaper on fuel than that monster truck you've got now!

*cough* buy a 3.6 *cough*
