Hello all,

I'm looking for a Tavia vRS, and think the main dealer route is prob the best way to go.

Has anyone out there recently bought one from a main dealer - and could they give a feel for how much negotiation is usually possible from the sticker price?

I really want to spend <

second hand skodas at main dealers are difficult to get money off of, my best so far is only

Roadworth Bristol have a silver 02 at about 10k

0117 970 1158

They also have a 52 Yellow and a 52 Red but they are a bit more.

Speak to Chris (he may be able to help, although he's the aftersales director) and mention the board.

Thanks guys, very helpful.

Actully the cheaper car in Bristol is the yellow one, red and silver are

There are lots of views on yellow! Those with it love it - those that don't may or may not. But what matters is whether or not you like it. If you do, buy it. Period.

Yes, I realise it's a personal decision.

Just wondered if it effects value come sale time...

I haven't noticed that used yellow RSs are any cheaper that those of other colours - in general terms they all seem to hold their value remarkably well (and much better than Parkers etc seem to think ).

My take on it all is that yellow is likely to be be more of a love it /hate it thing and, as such, you potentially restrict the people that will buy it secondhand. However, I don't think main dealers have sold as many of the yellow RSs as other colours so they are therefore more difficult to get hold of if you want one secondhand. I think the Octy RS looks good in yellow and if you like it and can get a decent deal on it i wouldn't worry too much about resale. :cheers:

I've never understood the obsession with resale values, buy the car, have fun and sell it when you're bored. You lose 17.5% as soon as you sign the sale agreement.

You don't buy cars to make money (unless you're a dealer)

Unless you tell Inland Revenue it's a company fleet...

But yes, totally agree, cars are there to lose money on, so it's best to ignore this and concentrate on getting the most out of it while you have it...

Although by that argument the cost of a car (purchase price / depreciation etc) is irrelevant to what you buy ... which is blatantly garbage :p Sorry, but most people with limited funds (i.e. most people!) do consider resale / depreciation when they buy a car ..... which is why I only buy secondhand cars :cheers:
