picking up my Kodiaq RS soon . wanting to maximise my money's worth, as I'm paying a lot . what are some freebies I should ask for ?

Key rings, mats, boot mat, tunnel mat, mud flaps if you fancy, Kodi bear if you’ve got kids, if you don’t ask you don’t get

Surely the point to ask for freebies is when you order the car and have some leverage, not when you're picking it up?

This 100%. 

Just feel lucky if everything works as it should.

 

The days of a bunch of flowers are gone I think (1999 my wife found some in her wee Lupo)

We bought a new vw up for wife last November and got a bottle of moet and bunch of flowers! I've bought cars up to 4 times the value of the up and got diddly squat. Guess it depends on dealer

I'm surprised value for money is a priority considering you've opted for the vRS!

 

A set of £50 mud flaps or a £20 Kodi Bear pales into insignificance when you've just blown £43K+ on a Skoda 

My dealer supplied mud flaps, skoda interior rubber mats, reversible boot liner and a skoda gift box with key rins, travel mug, pen etc.

I would say that would be for the OP to decide whether their kodiaq vrs is good value or not. As it's slightly cheaper than its less practical sister car vw tiguan allspace R-line tech 240 tdi. Some might say that the kodiaq vrs is good value for money... You know what you paid for your own kodiaq scout, some may view that as a crazy amount to pay for a car when you could be in a new kodiaq SE 7 seat for approx 8 to 10k less than your scout would have been.

Except it isn't my view, it is that of the vast majority of the automotive media.

 

You're also missing my point with regards to the relationship between the value of potential freebies and the purchase price of the car.

That has little to do with it. My overall boss and owner of the company I work just took delivery of a new Bentley Bentayga in the region £160'000. He still negotiated in his freebies, a luxury picnic hamper complete with personalized china/crystal and silver cutlery. Also you did post no one in their right mind buys a Kodiaq vrs at £43000. I'm getting the distinct impression from many of your posts that you view your own opinions as right and everyone else as wrong.

Do you know how to use punctuation properly on the internet?

Curious to know what the Da in your user name stands for because it has very different meanings in German, Italian and Portugese. Indeed the worst meaning stands for death. It doesn't mean THE in any language unless you are using the slang meaning of it and trying to sound cool.

You must be very cool to write an inflammatory post about the semantics of my username. Aren't you that guy that dicks around in the Superb 280PS thread and ****es everyone off?

 

EDIT: Oh yeah he is

From what I can tell, this shyVRS dude is often acting exactly like the kid who wasn’t invited to the party, came anyway, and then shat in the pool just to get a reaction.

You were hardly nice to the chap in New Zealand about his keyboard skills so I wondered how you would respond if someone threw something in your direction. Now we all know thanks.

Didn't know we had to proof read our posts in order to keep the grammer/punctuation police happy. 

 

A full tank of fuel 

I'd hope a full tank of fuel was standard. Mine came full without being asked.

 

It'd be a bit of a poor show if after picking up your £40K car you had to drive straight to the fuel station to stick £60 of fuel in.

I got mine quarter tank I was not happy especially coming from a diesel a6 and thinking it would last me mile and miles and on the 50 mile trip home seeing disappear 

Got the cup & pen set, ¼ tank of petrol..... my dealer tighter than a dead man's fist..... 

We got the last 3 cars with no freebies and on red... maybe £5 fuel... luckily garage is next to a station.

 

I did complain after the last one... they sent me some pens and a lanyard in the post...

 

 

Got with my Kodiaq a brimmed full tank of petrol, set of rubber mats, bouquet of flowers, AC branded shopping bag and a couple of AC branded corgi/matchbox toy vans for my kids.
