Has anyone been given a delivery date for the Blackline Octavia VRS?

Featured Replies

Would love to know how people who ordered weeks after me are getting theirs this weekend.

Mine is also at Grimsby. They've all been shipped together, so they'll be on-moved over the coming days.

    Christ mate. I bet your a riot at party's. I'm closer to 40 than 30 and don't appreciate being referred to as a kid, simply because I'm looking forward to getting my Blackline. In my opinion, kids d

Could do with some advice as I'm new to the forum and it's a tad confusing.

I'm Going to local dealer tomorrow for a test drive, he has a white, manual, CR vRS demo, specced out with the Neptune black alloys and Alacantara and sunset windows! Looks like the 'Blackline', So I'll see how it drives and then may go for a blue 'Blackline' if that's not an oxymoron! Hope the full leather is good. If the demo is good I 'spose I could wait for it to become available.

Mate, you'll love it. My other car is a 375bhp Focus RS, and I still found the Occy VRS a cracking drive!

Thanks, will see how it goes tomorrow pm.

Confirmed pickup on Sunday, got a registration too, insured as of Sunday 0001hrs!!!

Can't wait...anyone got a tank of diesel in their deal???

Just ordered a DSG hatch in blue. very nearly went for white and hope I don't regret it as it looks the mutts nuts as well. Garage near me has a blue and white one with the black wheels added to give you an idea.

I managed to get a bit extra on deal - paid very little for paint protection (£80), and managed to get a little bit off such that the value of the gap insurance was included. Also got £50 worth of fuel - you get a tiny amount in new cars these days......

Apparently, there are around 6 white and 6 blue in the UK to order. Should only be 2-3 week lead time....

Like a lot of you guys I hope bluetooth is included!

I managed to get a bit extra on deal - paid very little for paint protection (£80), and managed to get a bit more the price of car such that the additional insurance that guarantees you get the new car value of the car back should it get pinched or stolen was pretty much included (can't remember what it is called off the top of my head). Also got £50 worth of fuel - you get a tiny amount in new cars these days......

Gap insurance? Can be bought elsewhere for about £80. Garages charge £300.

Cant wait to actually see one, they seem a bit rare, no one actually has one yet so no pics..

Yeah that's it - Thanks for that. I have updated my post with the correct info. First time I went for that option on buying a new car. Figured it was 3 years peace of mind money.

I test drove a white VRS with the black wheels added and the main stealer had a blue one in the showroom with the black wheels as well (both hatch). I have taken photos of both if you want I can upload them?

I cannot wait either. Going to be a loooong 2-3 week wait!

Looking forward to pics when people get them. Skoda told me the other day that mine was at port but marked as urgent to be shipped to the dealer, so not sure if still on for Monday next week, would obviously prefer this weekend.

My dealer has spoken to a Skoda ops manager and is 100% certain that bluetooth is included. we watch and wait, mine is in the country just have to wait for delivery :sweat:

My dad has just ordered one of these and was told by dealer maxi dot and bluetooth are not included I guess we have to wait till someone has the keys in there hand

Maxidot is included its on my order form, seems the dealers and SUK don't really know what they are importing selling. agree that the only way we will know 100% is when someone on here confirms.

There's a lot of speculation on here about whether Maxidot will be included or not. Could someone tell me what it is and why people are so keen to have it? If I don't get it on my car what will I be missing?

Also, does anyone know how dark/tinted the glass will be?

thought maxidot was on dsg equipped cars..

Whats the big hoo haa over maxidot anyway?

You should be getting Maxidot if you ordered a DSG car. The question is whether you get it in the manual as well.

Answers will be forthcoming over the next few days from the lucky ones who pick up their new spangly motors.

Should be picking up my blackline blue estate on Thursday next week. Only ordered last 2 weeks ago. Had the 09 LE but got a 4 wheel drive and regretted it ever since. Decided it was time to come back.

Thanks fatbadger, that explains a lot. I initially couldn't see what all the fuss was about but now I see how desirable it is.

Maxi dot is on the manual my dealer confirmed it last week along with bt, I pick mine up on Sunday so will post what it has on here if no one has before.

No worries...

I had it on my pre FL and it was great, plus it filled the whole screen in the middle of the dash as opposed to half the screen without the MD.

I've not seen it on the FL, but I'm getting a DSG so it comes with the MD.

My dealer told me my car is on the ship on its way to the UK. I may need an anorak but I've just tracked a ship coming into Grimsby called EMS Highway from Emden! Should be in by 17:00. I think I'm a bit over excited!

Just seen there's another just left Emden so it could be that one. Due in 16:00 tomorrow.

Love it :) I had to have a look and found marinetraffic.com I assume it's the one you're using.

I'm sorry but this is too much, I'm looking forward to getting mine but FFS life goes on. Am not sitting by the pc tracking ships loaded wi cars. If it sinks and my car is lost then my pulse will quicken slightly. :think:

Hilarious thread - only one thing worse than a train spotter, a ship spotter.
