What's the best price I should be paying for a brand new mettalic 1.9Tdi 4x4 estate? No trade in but may want dealer finance.

I know it's maybe a bit personal but if anyone has struck recent deals I'd be interested in your experiences.

My local dealer quoted £16250.

DTD is about £15.5 however maybe wrongly I am a bit wary about the broker route.

Any thoughts.

Thanks

Or should I buy an Avensis tourer diesel instead. I cover up to 25000m annually and reliability, longevity and good running costs are important

I would dig me heels in on the DTD price (allow maybe up to £300 haggle factor) - had my 1.9Tdi 4x4 just over a year now and got the dealer to more or less match the DTD price. If they want to let £15.5K + interest walk away more fool them!

You can always try another dealer or use a broker, the only penalty you are likely to pay by going through the broker is the dealers may not provide a courtesy car when your is in for servicing but with regards to warranty you do not lose out.

Have to say this is my first Skoda (always been a Honda driver before) but am well please with the Octavia.

Have had a very nice lady on from CSMA (Civil Service Motoring Association) this morning quoted £15695 for mettalic. 1st owner, 12m tax delivered on trailer 1.9tdi 4x4. Will also take trade in valuation for my car yet to be given.

CSMA cars supplied by LLoyds TSB autolease.

Anyone bought a car from CSMA?
