[Warfield]

Hi I’ve approached several Skoda dealers about purchasing a new Skoda Octavia all they seem to want to do is sell me a used one which is driving me nuts.Asked about a new one they said earliest June next year is this true !!!

Right? Then that's the waiting time.

Yep June next year because they are not building diesels at the moment what’s the point advertising if you can’t deliver

But they can deliver, just not until next year. Supply and demand.

According to the Skoda website, right at this moment there are 99 new diesel SE-L estates available in the UK network or 128 new diesel hatches.

 

So in answer to the question does Skoda want to sell new cars, it would appear so. Why not have a look at cars available for immediate delivery?

It's not unique to skoda, most manufacturers seem to be 9 months to a year at the moment.

VW UP is 3 to 4 months on a factory order to delivery. 

( I hope 😂 )

 

Thanks. AG Falco

I am in the process of ordering a new Scala and sense I am being fed a lot of false expectations on timescale. If this turns out to be so, then they loose my business. I respect honesty not BS.
