Good evening,

 

I was not planning on buying a new car, but I am bored of what I have, and have always loved my Octavia's, (I have had 3 and done over 125k miles in them) so been looking the last couple of days, and today I found a pre reg  SE Technology 1.4 TSI iV at the most amazing price.

 

I have had a plug in before, but it was a Merc and it only did 11 miles on a charge, and it had a 2 litre engine, so cost more than expected to run.

 

My plan is not to go full electric, but this car seems to have the best of both worlds as it looks to be as economical running it all the time on fuel and an added benefit is when I can charge it. I am not sure I can get a charger at home as I would need to change my fuse board (as it is full)

 

So, I need to pay a deposit, but as the car is pre-reg I cant get it until March.

 

Please tell me the goods and the bads of this car as they only have a couple left, and I don't want to lose it.

 

Thanks in advance.

?

Makes no difference, but

Is it just Pre-Reg and not actually down as a Demonstrator,

so they have to have it for 3 months / 3,000 miles to get the tax break from HMRC?

 

You could just charge at home using a 3 pin charger and normal tariff if you do not have a 'offpeak'.

11 kWh @ 27 pence now is new £3.00,    OK if you get 25-30 miles on electric.

If back up to 33 pence then £3.63,  still OK.

 

The Oil Services are Fixed regime so 9,400 miles / annual with the 1.4 TSI iV, so any Service plan available needs to be taking that into account.
