Thanks for the information everyone has provided. :thumbup:

I placed an order for a Octavia L&K 2.0TDi manual hatch this afternoon.

I got the local dealer down to

Hi Alan

Allbrandsnew are a good company, we bought my wife's scenic from them.

You might want to read the thread about Motorpoint and making sure your car is registered on the UK Skoda database so they can carry out warranty work.

Good luck with your car

Thanks - I'll hunt that thread down

Bought our Octavia 2.0 PD TDi L&K estate from Allbrandsnew and probably saved around

Hello Sanjay,

That explains how they can apparently discount the VAT.

They called Monday afternoon and said it was ordered that day and could take up to 16 weeks :( .

They again said it would be to UK spec.

I got 9% off list price on my octy II from a dealer which was cost price to them. I couldn't have saved more than a couple of hundred quid from a broker and i would have had to wait months instead of weeks , possibly had less warranty, and had to have sold my old car privately instead of the top book trade in i got.

No contest really.

I bought mine through buyacar. Must admit they were excellent. They offered a price about £800 less than the dealer offer, and also gave excellent part exchange values 2 other cars.

It's a UK supplied, UK Warrantied car, all I miss out on is the free servicing.

They also delivered the car in about 3 weeks.
