New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[vEnOm_oz]

Understood. So, what new for old period does RACQ have? Thanks.

Please note I'm going off how RACQ does it, no idea how others do it.

There was the odd dunlop in there, but NO NEXANS. If your car has them when you go to pick it up, question them as they are not OEM tyres.

Mine came with a Nexen as a spare. I wasn't too happy about it. There's no OEM tyre listed in the manual so who am I to question it? Given my experience with Skoda Australia as an unhappy customer I'm not confident they would care about a customers tyre preference one iota.

I have CGU and they give 3 years new car replacement provided you don't exceed their maximum km. RACQ offer 2 years and most of the others vary between 1 or 2 years.

my spare was fitted with contis.
car came with contisportcontact2 from factory.
now wearing contisportcontact5 after a 62,000km tyre change.

Dealer called today. Car finished and built. Next week or so it's off on a Boat!

Looks like the Oz orders are coming. I wonder how much stock dealers will get for the floor....or whether they will keep doing factory orders.

As for the new for old, yes I meant after 2 yrs is when agreed would make sense, especially if finance is involved as the payout could be less. CGU is the other insurer that the smash repairers liked. I couldn't remember before, but it was definitely them along with Allianz so will check them out when my cars are due in Nov.

Lucky you! (Not an italian cruise ship with initials "CC" I hope - they're record isn't so good.)

Clearly Skoda is anti-brisbane

[GTR27]

Agreed. They must feel because we have better weather than everyone else we must be punished. Would explain why poms get preferential treatment....

Guys, any idea when we can expect the new Octavia Scout downunder? Just saw the promo video and it looks good.

[GTR27]

Of you order on day of release 6 months. Release is supposed to be end of the year..... So realistically mid next year at earliest.

I ordered 2 weeks into April and unconfirmed info suggests an August build with only 6 RS Octavia's for Aus in August, 2 going to my dealer. I think early next week some more firm information will be available. Issues with demand being greater than parts supply for the tech pack are mentioned.

Such is life.
