Hi All, purchased a Superb IV Hatch in Quartz Grey with a rear view Camera. With the deposit contribution I secured a price of £29259 inc VAT. Nearly 7 grand below the list price!

 

I wonder if anyone can beat that? Don't get fleeced anyone! Negotiate hard.. 😉

Check the smallprint for "batteries not included" 😂

Confused . com.

 

'Deposit contribution / purchased a car'

@carliv

?

Is that bought on finance and then paid off and you own the car for just £29,259 OTR

What spec? Any options?

There’s always a cheaper deal out there.

Almost! It seems there maybe a charging cable missing. Apparently, the standard is a 3 pin plug charging cable, which comes with the car. The type 2 to type 2 cable, used for slightly faster charging is optional, but when I read the small print on my paperwork it said it should be included. So, I'm currently waiting to hear back from the dealer..

It's an SE/L and comes with a nice spec as standard. The additional cost options were the quartz grey and rear view camera. £595 and £345 respectively.

Let me clarify root, sorry for the confusion. The OTR price on the invoice is £31509. Skoda discounted the price further by £2250 via a deposit contribution. The list price including the two cost options is in excess of 35k. I wish I was in a position to buy the car outright, alas I signed up to a pcp deal and am paying 3.9% apr 🙄

True, maybe an employee discount or demonstrator 😉 I really hope somebody can do better, if not, use my price as a benchmark to be able to secure a better deal 👍

Drive the Deal are quoting just over £8k off list.

 

Although the disadvantage is you won't know what dealer is supplying until you buy.

 

Shows what effect general price rises and the cost of EV/hybrid technology have. In May 2018 I got a 1.4Tsi Estate with £1000 of options for  £18'265.  

Awesome, I'll try and pretend not be a little upset now.. That's an interesting website, it looks similar to the one that helped me to get an alright price 😉 - Carwow. My boss used a site called UK car discount in the past, which is great if you can afford to buy a new car without finance. Thanks for looking into this and possibly helping other members of the Skoda community out. You're right, PHEV equals premium. As PHEVs go the Skoda is on the cheap side.. ouch

@carliv  So what is the actual cost of driving the car as in how much a month to pay and how many miles per year and for how many years?

There are quite a few iV's popping up on autotrader now.

I've considered one as I'm changing my Superb soon but as it's only a sub 1.4 engine the pence/mile I get for business miles, it just isn't worth it

£5kish deposit, £300 pm, 6000 miles with a last of instalment of £12780 after 4 years. We plan to settle between 2 and 3 years and hopefully the Enyaq is available. The other options to choose from before purchasing were  the MG ZS EV (not enough range), Mini Countryman PHEV and Hyundai Ioniq Plug in. Similar prices per month with the settlement figures ranging between 9k and 14k.

If you have some time to spare I think the Octavia VRS plug in is going to be available in 2 litre engine. On a recent 95 mile journey I managed 69 mpg with a half charge from the dealership. However, on a small commute to work with no charge I got 19.8 mpg, which highlights the importance of having some🔋in the battery.

As you are just 'down the road' from me I'll keep a look out for you on the road....
