Carfile discount on 0% finance vs dealer discount

Featured Replies

Hello all. I have spoken to Jonathan Lawless at carfile.net (very nice chap btw) this week who confirms their Skoda dealer can offer 5% discount when buying on the 0% Skoda Finance deal.

Has anyone had any joy with asking their local dealer to match it or come close to it?

Hi Timwolf, I had exactly the same deal offered by carfile. I went back to my local dealer & they matched it (without to much huffing & puffing). That was on a pre fl 4wd SE+ in August. Hope that helps.

Thanks. Excellent. Just what I wanted to hear. Hope the dealers are as generous with the FL.

Pretty sure you can get in excess of 7% now with 0% finance. :)

Wow! 7% would be a major result!

I got just over 9% off the FL pricing with 0% finance, but that included the £700 saving from ordering early on the extended pre-fl pricng, so I guess that was about a 6% discount off the pre-fl pricing.

I got about 6% discount through Carwow on a F/L Yeti Elegance with 0% finance and 3yr free servicing ordered Middle November, but i had to order with Alex Lawrie in Liverpool 100 miles away to get this discount. My local dealer couldn't match this and even sent me a txt telling me to take the deal even though I wanted to buy locally. A friend has ordered a new VRS hatch with the local dealer but seemed quite miffed when I him what discount I got. IMO you have to shop around so that you get the best deal, that rule applies with everything these days. Happy shopping!

I got 6% discount in October for a pre FL but it took a bit of haggling.

I would be happy if the local dealer could give a reasonable discount say 3 or 4 % (plus a competitive price for my trade in). I just don't want to be told they can't give discount because of the 0% offer when I know there are significant discounts out there if you shop around.

Well done. I'm sure it's been mentioned on here before about discounts etc especially with the 0% finance! Get the best deal you can and are happy with. Are you ordering with Alex Lawrie and what you getting?

I have asked my local dealer to see if they can match it. Fingers crossed.

Am looking at a 170 DSG Elegance in Jungle Green. Test drove a 140 DSG on Saturday. Loved it!

Good choice, be interested to see what they say about matching.

Placed an order 22nd Dec. Dealer matched it. And gave me a decent pt-ex price as well. Happy days. :)
