Hello all,

 

I've been lurking around for a little while with the intention of getting a Skoda Kodiaq once the PCP on my Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE Luxury came to and end at the beginning of May this year.  However having gone to Blade Skoda in Weston-super-Mare on Saturday to test drive the Sportline version they have as a demonstrator (I wanted to know whether the seats would be comfortable for me), I ended up buying the one they have unregistered in their showroom!  I had intended to order a 2.0 diesel Sportline with the 150 engine and DSG, aiming to keep the list price under £40k (for tax in years 2,3,4 on a PCP) but in the end the offer on the car they had in stock was just too good to pass up.  Combined with an early trade-in on the Disco Sport and I decided to just go for it!  Pick up my new car next Saturday!

 

Details of the car I've bought:

Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TDI 190 Sportline 7 seat SCR DSG 4x4 in Meteor Grey with the following options (already fitted, so no choice!):

Rough Road Package

Front and Rear Parking Sensors

Personalisation of Drive Mode Select

Driver Alert and Fatigue Sensor

Electrically Adjustable Front Seats with Lumbar Support and Memory

Dynamic Chassis Control

Panoramic Sunroof

Tri-Zone Climate Control

Temporary Steel Space Saver Spare Wheel

Electrically Folding Tow Bar and Adaptor

Electrically Operated Boot and Virtual Pedal

Heated Windscreen and Heated Washer Nozzles

Adaptive Cruise Control

Traffic Sign Recognition

High Beam Assist

Rear View Camera with LED Rear Lights

CANTON Sound System

 

Quite a list!  Total list price is £44,480 which has blown the £40k limit clear out of the water, but never mind, I'll pay the road tax from year 2 by Direct Debit anyway, so will spread the cost. Personally I could easily live without the more expensive options (pano roof, DMS and DCC would not be missed and the rough road package is totally redundant for me) and I'd have preferred to have the heated steering wheel and the kids would like the heated rear seats (they use them in the Land Rover), but as I said, the deal offered was just too good to pass up so it's finally goodbye to my desperately unreliable Land Rover and back to the VAG fold having had 21 years of owning Audis and VWs prior to the Land Rover.

 

Also included in the deal is GAP insurance, Autoglym Lifeshine, Accidental Cosmetic Damage Insurance and the first two services.  Finance sticker in the window of the car in the showroom said £9k deposit then 47x £540/month for 10k miles/year.  Anyone want to hazard a guess of what I've actually paid for the car for a 4 year PCP? (Clue: I'll be doing 15k miles/year!)

A warm welcome to the Forum !  Looks like you followed your heart

So getting really excited now - electronically signed all of the finance paperwork last night, sorted out the 5 day complimentary insurance, cleared my old car of all the junk collected over the past 21 months ready to hand over and just looking forward to Saturday to get my shiny new Kodiaq!

 

In answer to my own question, I'm paying just £3,500 deposit then 47x £520.50 with a final payment of £14,170.50 which adds up to £42,133 which is £2,346.50 less than the original list price.  Not bad (I reckon) considering it's over 4 years with 15k miles per year and includes GAP insurance, Autoglym Lifeshine, accidental cosmetic damage insurance and the service pack.

 

Is this a fairly normal discount on a Kodiaq?
