Cheers. Nothing else to say really, we won’t be getting the Karoq and I’m currently trying to find a different car. Pretty sure they will have sold it to someone else by now, their general attitude was they really don’t care whether I accept the car or not.

May be worth contacting what car mag?

Have you tried contacting other dealers other than Simpsons??

 

Shame to miss out on an AMAZING vehicle such as a Karoq.

Don't let one bad dealer put you off one of the best car makes on the market today. Carwow is a good place to get discount prices and a way to get in touch with more than one dealer.

Sadly this no longer surprises me from Simpsons Skoda Preston - they couldnt even be arsed getting back to me - sorry tell a lie - they did last week - only a month AFTER I'd brought my car from Lookers Eccles. Too litle too late

I don’t want the long lead times there are now to be honest, and there is no Skoda dealer really local to me other than Simpson’s. I’ve just got a cracking lease deal on a Golf GTI for pretty much the same money (a tenner a month more) so will be going with that. The Karoq is a lovely car, maybe for me in a couple of years when my company car is due and I know they don’t source through Simpson’s!

Is that the 227bhp Golf or the PPwith 242bhp and how much is it per month roughly and over how many months plus did you part ex or pay a deposit. Just being nosey if you don't mind?

It’s the 227, and £250 a month incl metallic on a 6+23 lease. No part ex.  The GTIs are a bit of a bargain at the moment. Early September delivery. Wasn’t bothered about the PP, it’s for my wife (but I suspect she might be using my car a bit more!).

The WLTP bit made me double check but they are insistent the car cannot be registered until 1 September. That’s supplied by Lookers.

Another unhappy customer of Simpsons Skoda in Preston...

 

 

Be sure to post a review here...

Just had reg no confirmed - it’s a 68 plate being registered 3 September. Seems there is some leeway for manufacturers to register a limited number of cars in September that aren’t WLTP compliant.

The 'Derogation rule',  cars built before the 1st June 2018 and tested under the old system.

Supposedly 'End of line' and only 10% of those first registered in 2017.

Over the last 4 years I’ve had dreadful dealings with both the Audi and Merc dealers on the Riversway motorpark. Seems the virus has spread throughout the neighbourhood. The motor trade is in a very poor state, all the dealers want to do is sell a finance deal, the vehicle is not the focus. It’s an endemic problem. Was seriously looking to go back to an Octavia VRS, but reading the reports here, think I’ve changed my mind now.

Hi, 

 

I am thinking of getting a PCH from them, do they still have good customer service?

 

Any other Skoda dealerships you recommend for PCH deals?

[P6bJOHN]

I'm on my second Karoq on 2yr PCH from Simpsons, not had any problems in 3yrs with either Karoqs or Simpsons PCH deals. I've had a Roomster and two Yeti's off them prior to the Karoqs. I hope to go back in October to order another Karoq for Feb/March 2022.

 

The only caveat to that is VWFS don't do back to back personalised number plate change over, so they charge me to put my reg no. on after I've collected the car, as do DVLA.

 

Also I only live 12 miles away, I don't know about distance PCH.
