New Anthracite Vrs 2.0TDi DSG.. Anyone?

[Trikster]

Test drove a 6mth old used car today - may go for that, but thought I'd see if the Briskoda community knows of any dealer that has this car in their showroom and that I could take advantage of the 0% VAT offer

Open to either Hatch or Estate NOT leather

Ideally with

dimming rear view mirror

parking sensors

MDI

Bluetooth

(though I believe the last 3 could be retrofitted)

Anyone seen anything?

You could ask your local dealer if there are any pre built Octavias at port.

Theres one on my drive!!

TBH...You will be very lucky

There is a white TDI DSG on a 61 plate at Murrays in Plymouth, no idea of options though!

Anyway, I wanted a similar spec to you and was told the only VRS's lying around are petrol ones, so I have had to do a factory order, have been told 11-14 weeks, but not fussed when it turns up really personally.

I've got an Anthracite Estate coming in Tuesday TDi DSG with a few options but it's got leather!!!

The pre built stock does tend to have more petrols but, depending on options there generally are 1 or 2 floating around.

Just had a quick look and the 1 or 2 has changed to 11 hatches and 4 estates, varying colours etc.

May be worth having a word wih your dealer to see what you can do.

Good luck, blinding car

Thanks guys - wonder why the dealer didn't say there might be built cars - and quoted me 20 weeks for a factory order (diesel/dsg combo?)

Obviously they want me to take the used one as they said they had met their new quota.

Will drop them a note to see about whats at port - actually not in a rush but did like the used one and do like instant-ish gratification; and preferred Anthrasite to the Steel grey they had in the showroom

Lee, PM me the price/spec of the car you've got coming in - whilst no leather is deffo fave, might be tempted, you never know...

Patience is a virtue & patience will be rewarded, with exactly the car you want if you order it.

Good choice in colour. Only the best!

Check the prices of the used ones against www.drivethedeal.co.uk. You may be in for a shock and it may well be worth the wait!

Steel Grey FTW!

Was one at Mitchell's nr Chester a few months back - don't know if it's still there though

I used http://www.carfile.net when I bought my first Octavia. Their prices are very keen, and I only made one call to them, after that all communication was with the supplying dealer.

Think mine was 18 weeks if I recall correctly - vRS with DSG
