been to my dealer today and he said that the vat has finished today hes just sold 3 cars today but he said its realy monday but if he takes enymore

orders he still can't order them because its bank hoilday so thats it no more vat off

Yep, my dealer also said that the VAT offer definitely ends on Monday.

I got told my order had to be in on Thursday gone as no-one was in over the weekend to process the order until Tuesday.

shame orders will drop light a lead balloon now,this will probably be of great help to the orders already in :thumbup:

You north walians say things different to us down here, especially since a lot of my welsh is limited :p!

Hope my dealer has the foresight to get my order in on Thursday. They told me last day of the Vat offer was May 2nd and I didn't realise it was a bank holiday. I did tell them to leave it as late as possible because I want it ready September time. Starting to worry a bit now :(

Yr wythor? Blydi hel oes 'na o 8 o'r diawled i ddysgu?

BTW - my dealer told me the same thing (ie that VAT offer's end date was effectively Thursday due to the Bank Holiday).

The no VAT page on the Skoda site has a 404 error so it looks like it has gone. Really hope they've ordered my car.

Just run my dealer who are open today and definately open tomorrow but only 11-4. They are taking orders.

Don't worry too much mate, I'm sure they will have ordered it

If you ordered before May 2nd there should be no problem, its up to your dealer and Skoda to worry about processing the order.

Noticed a tab on the Finance page of Skoda (UK)'s website marked - 'pay only 5% VAT' - which when clicked takes you to the current no VAT details.

Think this could be the next offer from 3rd. May ............???

I ordered via drivethedeal as my local dealer wasn't taking orders after 3pm Thursday. I had a call from them yesterday to say that they would let me know Tuesday whether they would be able to honour the deal. They aren't passing my order to the dealer until Tuesday. Have ordered a fabia vrs in racing blue. Told it will be a 6 month wait. No worries - gives me time to get some pennies together.

Lol, I found that tab as well. Says they are offering 5%, then when you go in there it still claims VAT free.

Guess the site must be in a transition, albeit a live one

This is true, when I get it, you'll get

If you've missed the boat this time I shouldnt worry too much. Killing the VAT deal will hurt sales, Skoda have to offer big discounts to shift the volume they do thats how they turn a profit, selling many for less. I think its been done purely so they can deal with their overflowing order books as the situation has become rather daft. Give it 6 months it will be back on; though i'll personally be surprised if the Fabia vRS rejoins the deal.

Instead of a huge discount, why don't they just reduce the price of the cars in the first place =/?

Or could just get a second hand one... OK so it's not new, but no silly wait and car is slightly used
