My octavia PD has now covered a staggering 179,000 and its time to chop it in for my second ever skoda, the question is this. I am looking at a Skoda Octavia vRS 2.0 CR 170 DSG in white, with vRS leather. The dealer has offered me £4900 for my Octavia Sport TDI with 179,000 miles.

However when it comes to the deal (which the wait is 19 weeks) will they still honour the price as i do around 200 miles a day? This means that by the time i come to chop it in it will have gone from 179,000 to around 198,000 - possibly even topping the 200,000 mark. I have asked them about this and they state that they will re value the car when i actually collect the vehicle and sign the paperwork meaning i will no doubt owe more money, is this correct??

I guess it depends on how much they are asking for the new VRS and what the difference in price is....

NO they won't offer you as much because you will have put more miles on it. The offer they made was with 179,000 on the clock and not as you put it 198,000-200,000 miles when you trade in. So you will need more money.

HTH Simon.

make sure you get it in writeing before you order your new car as the salesmen may leave the company and they will deny all knoledge of you being made that offer

I wouldn't expect them to give you the same value, but be insisting that they agree the method in which they re-value. ie x pence per mile. That way if you do another 20k you'll know what it'll be costing you in terms of trade in.

My dealer has agreed a guaranteed trade-in value when our new Octavia is delivered (probably about May).

The price we get will not be lower than this but he will re-value it one or two weeks before the new car arrives and it may go up (yeah right! :p ).

Best way is just to ask your dealer as I'm sure different dealers have different ways of doing things.

I only put an extra 1000 miles on the Fabia when I traded it in and they didn't batter an eyelid and I was worried, LOL

Do you get to keep your tax disk on a p-x? I always thought you had to leave it in the car...

Tax disc is factored in the price although my wife removed it as the dealer ****ed her off

Can you not in order for them to secure a sale to you and deposit etc insist on a valuation based on set mileages in current condition for that expected time since it isnt your fault that your new one will not delivered sooner. Something like set intervals if it has 190k/200k/205k etc to get a better figure?

When you get your old valued as a part exchange, always remove the tax disc.

He appraises the car and sees there is no tax disc and if he queries it just say it is not part of the transaction. There is then no scope for argument when you pick up your new car

P.S. Obviously put it back on before you drive away from the garage

Yep, depends on the agreement. And get anything agreed in writing.

As I see it, there's a few issues at play here - the length of time for your new car to arrive, and the amount of daily mileage you do.

It's down to getting something sorted with the dealer.

My local dealer offered me £5000 for my 05 1.9 4x4 estate with 57,000 miles - either he was having a laugh or your dealer has given you a good offer - he bviously doesn't see high mileage as a big issue so I wouldn't sweat about another 20,000 miles.

...depends on the price agreed for the new vehicle as well. It's the 'cost to change' value that matters, after all.

The will be giuded by Glasses Giude and that is probably something the dealer always works to. There is a table adjustment for mileage which they also go by. I think it is more important you sow up the finaince deal ie at 1.9% flat or 2.9% or whatever the deal is as it is more likely that worse fiance deals will be around then.

Better still get a 1.8 TSI, enjoy the better performance, borrow less and get nearly as good fuel consumption and get it sooner, espeically if you get the 7 speed DSG.

My part-ex price was agreed when i ordered the car, they allowed for further depreciation in with the deal and even though my car took 6 weeks longer than originally quoted they have to honour the price , just make sure you have it ALL in writing.

Same here.

I even got them to raise the price of the part-ex to ensure the sale, despite the fact I'd be adding a few thousand miles and the car would be 4 months older.

theres a few thousand and then 20,000!

I can understand the dealer being a little worried about signing off a price with that much of a mileage difference thats possible although I think I would push seeing as its not your fault the car takes so long

ok, i contacted the dealer today and i double confirmed this and wanted to speak to the sales manager. He stated that the price quoted would be on 179,000 miles and when i collected the vehicle they would re appriase the vehicle at that time. I asked what value they would put on the same car with 200,000 miles and it went down by just £400. I told them that i wouldnt sign the deal unless they can guarantee a price now for the car when the transaction takes place. Amazingly he agreed and had put this in writing, so he did!

a lot happier now i have this in writing on dealer paper.

I see you are still obsessed with the 1.8TSI and trying to get everyone to get one. He does 200miles a day ffs. Why would he get a petrol? You get nowhere near the consumption as the diesel. Well maybe you do 'only using the performance 1% of the time'. Oh and plus the fact he wants a VRS model and not the pipe and slippers edition. So for near on same performance it has better MPG, cheaper road tax, has sports seats, sports suspension, sporty looks, 18inch wheels.......

Anyhow there are plenty or MPG threads for the 1.8TSI (http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/181057-19tdi-to-18tsi-6-weeks-on/page__hl__18tsi%20mpg) and you seem to be the only one that can get a decent MPG out of it.

If you want economy AND performance that you can use without seeing 20-30MPG then you have to go for the Diesel.

To the OP - did he give you a idea on timings? i reckon you could be looking at at least 8months looking at other threads :(

As JRW said why would i want to get a 1.8TSI when i do 200 miles a day!

Plus the top level L&K is an awful trim level, the vRS is the nicest of the lot and i only have two options either a 2.0TFSI (very thirsty) or the 2.0 TDI.

Thats a good price for your car with them miles on it! Do you intend to keep the next one for that kind of mileage? have you had any major problems with your car over the 180k covered?

... have you had any major problems with your car over the 180k covered?

Same question here as planning on buying an Octavia diesel and running it to that sort of mileage.
