Just thought I would browse the Skoda website to see what has happened to the prices after Christmas (as my brochure was valid till 31/12/07) - seems as if I got mine just at the right time. They seem to have added a grand to the OTR price, Fabia 1 base model coming in at £8,090 instead of £7,090. What's this about? :confused:

I think thats a price rise of only about £100, the base Fabia 1 was just under £8k before so unless you got yours on a good deal?...

I've got seriously muddled. It is indeed an increase of £100. Mine was a special deal coming in at £7k, have looked again in brochure and it does say £7,990 not £7,090.

Do we think the price will continue to rise? Is this to increase profit margin or some new governmental charges, maybe an increased VED and first reg fee?

its not just skoda, its a increase of about 2 percent across most manufacturers. its simply the costs of transport, materials, development etc etc.

i think skoda is pretty good keeping it to 1 percent

We have had a 1 % rise in Norway on most models as well, and the Norwegian importer says that this is due to increased prices from the manufacturer.

Purchased mind in December, pleased i did now!

How are you finding it?

I'm all settled in now...truly superb and so, so comfortable. Not to mention the fun-factor.

i had a 1.9tdi lvl 2, im tempted to see about tapping the managment up for a sport

what have you got?

Ohh sport would be hot. Glad I didn't have the option - hadn't been mentioned at that point. Only in Jan did I find out. lol

Just the entry level - couldn't be waiting for delivery as back at uni now so just took their showroom demo ever so slightly reduced of course . Doesn't feel entry level though. Would love to see how the others handle.
