Q4 deals?

[themanwithnoaim]

Obvoiusly, when your order book is full you don't have to put out great Q4 deals.

[andyvee]

Full for the next 3 to 4 months!

[sussexvet]

Here we go chaps, Andy PM'd earlier but I've only just picked it up.

 

As sent to him, the run down is:

 

A quick breakdown on the Octavias is:

 

0% PCP - S through to Elegance, including Black Edition

2.9% PCP - L&K

3.5% PCP - vRS and Scout

 

The above excluding the vRS and Scout also benefit from 3 years/30k free servicing.

 

Hope it helps - better late than never   

What does this mean to those of us who have already ordered our cars but not yet delivered. If these rates are dealer offers I cannot see them giving them to us free of charge once we have placed our orders.

When I was checking prices offered by dealers and brokers I was advised that dealers had to pay for low rate interest and free servicing and that was part of the reason for them not being able to compete with brokers on the purchase price of the cars.

If you are financing via PCP and the rate plus add-ons changes between the order date and delivery date they should put you on the more attractive package. That was the official line from my dealer at the time

I ordered my Octavia in November last year when they were offering 0% PCP plus 3 years servicing. If my memory serves me right SUK had dropped free servicing in Q1 of 2014 when my car was delivered, however, I still got it as that was what was on offer at the time of ordering.

Bloody hell m8, have you seen this one Griffin are doing?  :p

[Yogi-Bear]

I'll take 100, and then sell them straight back.  That's a nice £100,000 in my pocket...

 

Or something doesn't quite add up there.

So back on topic... Im presuming the new finance rates are combined still with free servicing for three years? Seems a fair deal if so. Previous rates were 0% on the S and SE only, 2.9% on the Elegance and L&K and 6.9% on the VRS and Scout so all round better and particularly good if you were considering an Elegance I guess.

Free servicing on everything apart from vRS and Scout with the PCP.

Thanks but I'm after something a little more refined and grown up.

No RHD British car.

There are rules to stop you doing things like that. Is possible to own the car for 13 months and sell it for more than you paid for it though. They don't seem to offer the buybacks on the petrol vrs but don't really want a dirty diesel.

Sorry for going off topic.

[D@z]

well as Preston_Motors has already posted the deals, I finally made a decision too, no VRS for me this time, with the lack of incentives I just couldnt justify one, as it was coming in over budget, a nice new Elegance however, came in nicely under budget, is sitting built and will be mine within 3 weeks! the 0% and 3 years servicing swung it for me in the end :-)

[themanwithnoaim]

Which one D@z, the TDI or TSI ? I'm gonna hazzard a guess your  petrol-head and therefore stuck with the TSI, did you go DSG or not ?

 

Lots you can do with the engine & the DSG but, the rear suspension setup does need a RARB and it could do with lowering too.

[Sean R]

Was waiting for the Q4 deals, but a new vRS just coming in too expensive still.  I'll just wait until the new year and see what's happening then. I'm still interested to see what the proposed VW Polo R is like, if it actually goes into production; and also looking at the Subaru BRZ which after the summer price decrease is cheaper than a vRS

well, I was, but recently I just dont get the use out of a high performance petrol to justify the costs, so Im going all old and sensible, 2.0 tdi 150 for me this time! will probably give it a little bash with the mod stick though!

Many options Daz?

I went from a 2013 Blackline estate to an estate one of these, the 2.0 TDI is very good for a derv, being reasonably powerful with a nice amount of torque, good power delivery and low kerb weight has surprisingly good straight line performance.

.....its not as fun to drive as the vRS though despite probably being a bit quicker. I think it's a great car and probably overall the best Skoda of the three I've owned (the Blackline and a Fabia vRS estate) but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bored of it.

Sadly used values aren't particularly strong either....my 10k mile 9 month old car only worth 15.1k according to WE AC. ..whereas my nearly 2 year old approx 21k mile Blackline was still be worth 13,750....I think the used market being relatively flooded with lots of 1.6 SE/Elegance ex hire cars hand helped.

its got a few options afaik, tbh I need to get the full run down, I know it has towbar prep and the winter pack, I went against my own rules and done a deal down the phone on a prebuilt car I didnt know the full spec of, lol

[Gibbonius]

As D@z, 0% finance and the opportunity to get a pre-built model has tempted me and I've put a deposit down on a 1.4 TSI Elegance. Ideally wanted Race Blue and a couple of options but impatience has led me to go with a standard spec Black Magic - hopefully have it within a month.

 

I test drove a VRS at the start of the year but champagne tastes and lemonade money ruled that one out.

[Mence]

I've decided to stick with what I have for now, the deals aren't very enticing but to be honest I never expected them to be.

A lot can be done with that little 1.4 engine so, don't be too down on yourself I went through the same analysis myself.  Try it a while then tinker, DTUK are in your town I think and the RARB is a must but, as I said try it as is for a while its a very nice place to be with the elegance interior.

[BA Baracus]

TBH unless there are amazing deals on an Octavia estate in approx two years time (when my PCP comes to an end) it is likely I will replace my Blackline (which is excellent in all respects) with a Fabia estate which looks very tasty indeed.

Plus I will save myself thousands at the same time - sorry but the Octavia is getting too pricey for us normal folk.

[Mence]

Now that would be fun with the 184 diesel in it!

Sorry, off topic...

3.5% interest but the representative APR is 7.2% still.

 

The free FPS is available to the VRS too, as i have just had it applied to my agreement.
