Hi Skoda Folks...

New (Part) Owner here.

Cheers - Dave.

Hi .... Thanks for Replies.

A few responses. (I won't do multi quotes)

Yes...Car is firstly Wifey's car....but she doesn't do the forum scene much, so I thought I better represent. That way when she asks me questions about the car that I don't know the answers to, I'll know who to ask.......ie - the Forum...not the dealer.

99 % eh......I like those odds. Better than my own car.....haha !!

We drove a round trip of almost 5 hours to see a Race Blue wagon....and when we got there the Mrs said she liked the Silver one......!! The rest is history.

Cheers - Dave.

Hi Dave,

You must be the oen who picked up a silver vRS ex-display model from Preston, right?

I am the guy who was looking at the other Octavia wagon right next to it.

I picked it up a week after you bought yours, and happy so far.

^^ Hi.

Not me....

We got ours in Sydney. I had never even seen the actual car, or met the salesperson.

We test drove cars locally (Newcastle) where there was a White and a Black Wagon. We saw a Race Blue Wagon, Anthracite and a Silver Wagon (Diesel) in Penrith. Wife liked the silver, but we wanted Petrol. Another salesperson I'd been e-mailing said he could get a Silver Wagon with Leather in about 2 weeks, so about 3 e-mails later it was sorted. Wife picked up the car when she was in Sydney and first I saw it was when it appeared in the driveway.
