Now impatiently waiting for the right car to come up for sale.

 

An SE L Drive 2.0Tdi 150ps DSG in quartz grey or black.

 

There’s a good one for sale without leather but I’m holding out for one with. I might have to wait a while I guess.

 

The Alcantara option is very nice too, what colour is it.

It’s the cloth interior not Alcantara, which would also be preferable. The car is a quartz grey se Drive. On autrader at £19,900 which is steep.

I thought that was strange as you are looking for an SE L.

All SEL drives have leather as standard. Must be an SE to not have it.

Are you looking at a car like mine with the alternative Alcantara leather? Personally having had leather in first Yeti and Alcantara on second I think the Alcantara looks better after a lot of use as it doesn’t develop the stretch marks on the seat base and is more comfortable, so had it in third Yeti as well.

Yes I mean it is an SE Drive. Ticks all the boxes apart from the 'L' for leather:

If only I could find a car with either the leather or the Alcantara Ken I'd buy it. Been looking for 3 months I think now and nothing has come up apart from a slightly suspect

SE L Drive  at Evans Halshaw.

It will also probably be missing the nearly essential better headlights. Personally that is the one thing I would miss with a lower spec car.

It's just the leather difference between SE Drive and SE L Drive apparently. Bi xenons come on both. The Drive has everything bar a sunroof as far as I know.

 

Are you still not tempted with as Kodiac/Koroq thingy/E-type jag/anything to sell me yours?

Mine is a lease with option to purchase at end. Not financially viable to sell at the moment.

 

I bet thats why you cant find one. I could have paid up front with a loan, but the Skoda contribution towards  a leased car plus 0% interest was a very good offer.

 

I don't think many Drives would have been bought outright. It will probably be another 20 months or so until these come to end of leases and appear on the secondhand market.

Finally a Black se l drive DSG has popped up at a Skoda dealer so I’ve left a deposit on it and will be off to Skoda to view when they get the car in. Not seen any pics but 2500 miles and bought from a company supplying transport for disabled and special needs children - http://www.24x7ltd.co.uk/index.php.

 

 

I have a feeling that is the company that is owned by a certain very sporty Yeti owner.

Who’s that? Mr Fox? Will it come supercharged?
