First experience - not good

[rykard]

Hi,

we've Just been to test drive a 1.4tsi kodiaq. Unfortunately even though it was arranged last week, we weren't expected and the car wasn't available...

mrs totally ****ed off. We had rearranged the whole weekend to fit this test drive in. Arghhh

not the best first impression.

I will be calling tomorrow to hopefully rearrange the test drive.

if it had gone well we were happy to put an order in today.

Sandicliffe Leicester, on Groby Road.

I didn't realise the odealer on Groby Rd is Sandicliffe now - are you buying a new car, if so have you tried sites like carwow, carkeys etc?

 

Used to have a great dealer in Mountsorrel called Albar Autos until Skoda decided the showroom and facilities were not flashy enough.

 

Good luck!

I must admit I wouldn't have the patience as that's the 2nd time they have messed you around. You know the saying, once bitten, twice shy............................

 

I think albar autos now loughborough kia were so fantastic i would get an stonic or sportage from them.

we are really stuck with petrol due to the type of driving we do. We would have out an order in last week if we had liked the car after the test drive. TBH I am getting so racked off with it that I am really thinking of shelving it all till later in the year. Though annoyingly I have started to see more and more Bears around, 4 on my 3 mile drive into work this morning - including a nice petrol? blue scout in the car park i am using today.. grrrr

 

We're also going to the 4x4 and PickUp show at the weekend at Stoneleigh so can see what is around there to tempt us..

 

Does anyone know the cutoff for selling the pre wltp vehicles? or are they just going to re-engine them all?

Hi, I went to SkodaFest at Stanford Hall recently - there was a skoda dealer there called Westgate Motors - got to be worth a call?https://www.briskoda.net/forums/uploads/monthly_2018_05/5b0e9348519c9_IMG_4687(Medium).JPG.e66a331662538cd0e4da0b462053ced9.JPG

ok but it might be worth going the extra distance, I guess they came from Grimsby to Stanford Hall.....

[camelspyyder]

Westgate was great but recently got taken over by DM Keith. Having bought several new car bargains there previously, I'm yet to be convinced by the new regime.

 

My current motor was £1000 cheaper at Westgate than anywhere else. It was worth driving to Grimsby.

is there a dealer 'close' to Leicester that is recommended?

Carwow is Leicester or Boston?  but there are Derby and Coventry dealers too..

 

as an aside we are now booked in for Sunday morning. Is there anything specific i should be looking for?

[rykard]

would be willing to travel to save a few bucks, but Leicester is a mile from home...

 

if they mess us around we will be talking to other dealers.

[Ootohere]

Order books for a factory build are closed now on a 1.4TSI Kodiaq, so it will need to be a car from stock for a new one.

[rykard]

we're looking for a 2.0 TSi

[Ootohere]

?

Are the order books still open on those for a factory build?

[Sockman]

I went into our local Skoda dealer yesterday and was told that if we order within the next 4-5 weeks for a SE-L 1.5 Petrol in Emerald Green we would  have to wait till November but it would be the 2019 spec with new dash etc.

[Ootohere]

? Were they able to say what that spec exactly is,  what the price will be and what the VED band /  co2 g/km is,  or if they will know that in the next 5 weeks?

[Sockman]

Didn't really go into much detail as my wife wasn't with me so thought we would go into exact price etc next time. He did say the paint would be more expensive though. As for spec he mentioned the new digital speedo.

With a username like sockman I thought you might live near Loughborough !!

A member posted this link in the Octavia Section.

It would be good if the same is available for the other Skoda Models that are going to be getting built.
