I have just received a flyer from my local dealer inviting me to contact them to test drive ONE of their Octavia vRS models as THEY are 'brand new, unregistered and for immediate delivery' this would imply that have a number. What is more they are offering £2000 deposit contribution with a PCP ( admittedly at 7%)

Cancelled orders?

Some dealers have a few cars. My local has 4 or 5 last time I checked all vrs tdi hatchbacks

The RS build times have improved, along with some available stock. Took one the other day for a customer and will be here within a week or so - a bit better than 6/7 months.

Estates throughout the range are a PITA though.

my dealer said similar to me last week,that there are a few about now,and it looks like there will be some incentive on them during the 1st qtr next year, but didnt know what that would be

Still 8-9 months here in australia. Send a few this way, instead of hoarding them to yourselves!
