Buying a new vRS

[RichDay]

Hi guys,

Really thinking of getting a new Octavia vRS. Test drove one yesterday and loved it. It's much nicer than my Honda Civic *lol*

What I'd like to know is how much did you guys manage to haggle the dealer down? They seem a bit reluctant to drop the price any....

The other thing was, have any of you had any experience with online brokers? Anyone you'd reccommend?

TIA

Dealer prices are allready down, the list price was dropped recently due to the new shape Octavia being launched.

I bought mine in March '03, the dealer was selling them at

Bunch of flowers for the Mrs Now that's good sales, bet she was pretty happy with that as well

I must admit I had a quick look at the Octi as well whilst I was at the dealers today for my test drive, but it's just out of my price range if I want a good set of standard options :(

depends mate. i ordered mine monday. the main problem is getting one i wanted xanons,esp,cruise and black. i was lucky cus a dealer ordered one as a demo but they swapped it with my local dealer and it the only one in the country it u want one with those options you wont get it till may i had to take parking s's aswell. good as gold though cus the they gave me a fair (just) price for my car and knocked 390 of the list i payed 15200 all in. doesnt sound the best deal but its the best in the country. speack to irvine skoda in bridgewater and speak to adam, he is clued up and might be able to help u???????????

Cheers for the replies guys! You've been very helpful.

This might have to wait till the new year now, got christmas holidays and stuff in the way; I'm leaving Essex for Sussex tomorrow to spend time with the family and won't be back until January. Quite annoying really seeing as I'll probably have to order the car and wait a month or three for it to be delivered. Oh well, there's over-drinking and over-eating to be done so I guess it's not all bad...

Merry Christmas!

I purchased mine on 10 sept (54) Red with cruise, rear sensors and fuel for 13,200 if thats any help.

Shocking thing after 4 months is I am expecting the service light to come on soon!!

I purchased mine last month, a metallic silver vrs for 12,500 (pre-registered) but otherwise it was brand new with 2 miles on the clock. Keep your eye on the official Skoda website for these..

I'm just buying another 2nd hand silver VRS, Production of VRS has been slowed down, not stopped as no decision has been made on the new shape version yet! Reluctance to shag the price is because they have become very desirable, but hey, we've known that for ages! I know where there ios a red one 54 plate with 3k on the clock for
