As nice as leather seats and 10 extra HP would have been I can live without for that much. Having gone for a Moon White with extremes at least it will look the part!

I'm off it completely - it was an off the wall avenue for me but I prefer the New Superb styling and can get a lot more car for my money.

Yeah glad I didn't wait either. Ordered a scout 184 dsg yesterday. It's certainly not worth 3k plus.

Crazy! But don't forget you get a trick diff too :p

Can not seem to spec the canton with it, maybe the UK spec comes with more gear

I'm with coops on this. Really wanted a 230 but that money would buy you a really good spec new superb. That's a crazy price considering the Leon cupra is around that with 280 ponnies.

Kinda have to agree and with the waiting time I've got on mine (another 2 months) part of me thinks I should have held out for the superb!

Is there an economy penalty going from 220 to 230?

I was wrong can see it in the config now

Phoned skoda today looking to get a price on the 230bhp and was told that although I could see it and configure it, they (Arnold Shark Skoda) could not order it and that they didn't have any dates for release. At best guess I was advised that it would be a 2016 release date.

Maybe try asking at your local Skoda Dealership. Skoda Specialist Cars  Perth / John Clark Motor Group.

Fixed that for you  :p

Would have loved a new VRS but went for cupra St.....with metallic paint, sunroof, full link, sound pack, leather and upgraded wheels all for £26000 after seat discount.

That sounds like a pretty decent deal.

Ordered it in April before the latest price rises but secured a 5k discount from drive the deal. Similar spec'd VRS only had 3k discount and was about £1500 more and obviously didn't have 280hp or the front differential.

Shame because I actual prefer the look of the VRS side by side.

just had a quick look on Drive the deal site, no idea how they can do it, quite a hefty discount, what's the catch? or is there one?

numbers and contacts - they have dealers that need to hit targets.

 

I tried DTD for Mercedes and when I went to place the offer the price/deal was no longer available.

 

But other members on here have been successful - they don't however take PX.

No catch at all apart from no px....although other online brokers do px. I sold my VRS without any bother so I wasn't too worried about px any way.

You basically only deal with drive the deal in the first few days. After that it is a direct purchase with their selected dealership. For my Cupra ST it is JCB in Ashford and everything has gone smoothly. Will be picking up the Cipra on 1st September.

I would never trade a car in anyway, it's stupid to throw money away when you can get 1-1.5k average more selling private!

 

the only negative appears to be the random dealer you have to deal with, not so bad if it's a local dealer..

Yeah mine is 80 miles away but as the local seat garage to me doesn't have a good reputation I wasn't too bothered. Also free delivery if I want.....although I think I will pick it up myself and get a free tank of petrol.

Ha ha.. disappeared again from the configurator..

 

Skoda UK are making it very hard for anyone who wants to buy this car.

Just to rub it in. http://www.avto.net/_AVTO/ad.asp?ID=9962142&show=2

you're not helping 

 

We can only hope that they are delaying it until they've installed the 280 version of the 2.0TSi
