Well it's not a question of affordability really as I have already got a car. Just pointing out that there's not as much room for negotiating as there is with other manufacturers.

 

For example Ford will easily offer you almost £6k off a new £23k Focus or Audi will take the same discount off a £25k A4

 

Personally I think there's similar discounts to have on the Octavia's as there are on their main competitors. The two models you mention are about to be replaced so £6k are usual in this situation. The Focus will still cost you 4.2-7.2% on finance depending on model and purchase option and the Audi is at 7.4%!! The Octy 3 is a far newer model, based around the same main drivetrain components as the Golf (with even less discount) and the A3 (less still). Discounts on the Leon tend to be slightly greater. The Octy is available with finance as low as 0% currently for the SE and 2.9% on the luxury versions and you can still claim three years free servicing even with the 0% option 

I've been quoted this yesterday with a military seller tax free.

This seem like a fair price or should it be a little less given its tax free?

I don't see why you are being belligerent.

No belligerence intended, just stating facts. On a 42mth PCP £2k difference in discount is equivalent to £50 per month on 0%, so makes the difference between a car being within budget or not.

Its pretty much irrelevant what SUK are offering when most savvy customers can usually find a dealer to price match DTD, Carfile et al. I don't get why people expect SUK to offer best deal on a plate, just get a broker quote, ring 3 dealers, tell them straight that the first to ring you back with a price match will get your order, but make sure you are not time wasting cos they are not daft.

I dont expect Skoda UK to offer the best deal on a plate, but where Im from, I cant just use brokers to get the best deal, as that only works in the mainland, also Im depending on finance, so as andyvee has rightly pointed out, the % makes a big difference to my monthly outgoing and therefore whether I can afford the car or not.

Brad8988,

I'm guessing Griffin? I bought with them. They were offering  22% off the standard price. Factory fitted options get the discount, dealer supplied stuff isn't discounted.  I'm in the UK so had to pay the tax but no other dealer could match them and carfile offers didn't get close.

It's a good deal. Tax free it's an outstanding deal.

So has anyone any news on these new deals then? Skoda website just looks the same.

The website always seems to be the last place to get updated ......

still waiting to hear from dealer, and website still the same........perhaps nothing has changed?

The dealer will be the first to have the details - the website is normally a few days behind and doesn't give the details on the deals anyway, just the headlines.

My local dealer said they had heard nothing at 13.00

Skoda UK tweet confirms 0% finance and 3yrs free servicing

http://bit.ly/1tgBwhi

But which models are eligible for 0%, as usual the website doesn't say.

Doesn't look like the VRS is eligible, if you go to its own finance page it's something like 7.3% apr

The main site may not be updated yet.

It looks like the Elegance is now included in the 0% if you look at the payments, deposit and residual in the example.

 

Interesting - I wonder if the L&K is as well now????

The main site may not be updated yet.

They are quoting for orders placed before 31st December in the small print now on the offers page, but the vRS specific one is still 30th September.

If nothing on the site by the weekend will pop into my stealer.

Preston_Motors normally updates somewhere on here with the deals when they are released.

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   

Thanks Lee - should save on the speculation

By comparison, what was Q3s deal on the vRS and Scout?

By comparison, what was Q3s deal on the vRS and Scout?

4.9% IIRC

Thanks, slight improvement then.

Bit of a Christmas bonus then
