Manual, petrol, 4wd

[NZCol]

Newbie to Skoda, we had a rented Octavia from Avis in Switzerland and were so impressed we now want to replace our Golf R with on. We're a difficult buyer - we want a petrol, manual, 4wd estate ! Seems we can get pre-reg Scouts in Diesel form but the configurator doesn't offer anything useful. It will be doing usual school run, dotting around town and we live on a pretty gnarly access road which gets bad for most of the winter (we're in Scotland) so we run the cars on winter tyres anyway, AWD is v useful for us.

 

Near new would be ideal but if we have to order new that wouldn't be the end of the world. Skoda dealer near us has been absolutely useless - can't actually say if that spec will ever be available and also can;t source us a diesel, manual AWD Octy or Scout even though they clearly exist in the network. Any advice/thoughts most welcome.

Welcome.

 

If they exist in the network and there are ones ready to First Register now or before the end of the month then good. Or ones that can be put on a 68 Plate.

ask Skoda UK Customer Services where they are.

Who are you asking, what Dealership Group?

You can ask Henry's. West End, John Clark Group, Ingrams etc. Phone call or Email.

 

I would be avoiding Arnold Clark & Parks.

We went to West End, couldn't have been less helpful if they tried, wouldn't buy anything from Arnold Clark ever. Will try West End again.

I would try an Email or call to the Head Sales Executive @ Skoda Specialist part of John Clark Group or Ingram Skoda and tell them what you want.
