I just took delivery of my second Octavia vRs in 16 months my advice in buy low sell high shop around for px as one dealer offers nothing then don't buy from him. I have been lucky my 1st Skoda car was on the vat free deal so was £17,500 my next with as many options as I could afford was £24500 on a 5% vat deal. Both cars are diesel and my px had 13k on the clock just run in some may say.

But had offers off websites of less than 12K and dealers of 13k so final price sold for £15900 by my reckoning with low rate finance to boot. On a cost of £100 depreciation per month I couldn't lease a small car for this.

I think if I run this for 3 years depreciation might be £14k so you makes your choices and you have to live with it.

I have done this a couple of times so far with similar depreciation so deals can be made.

I hope you enjoyed what ever car you've bought as no one enjoys loosing money but they are very good cars for the money

If you can get over the lack brand status there loss I say.

The difficulty I have with this is that I don't think £24500 is buying low for a vRS. Surely the important thing isn't what you get for your car, it's the cost to change and you're paying £8.6k?

I've recently been looking to change my 18 month old vRS TFSI for a Yeti and I'm finding that when I've been to a dealers looking to order a new one (spending approx £20k) with no discount, I've been offered £13k+ for mine in px. When I've been looking to buy an ex-demo (for approx £18k) I've been offered £11k - either way the cost to change ends up similar?
