Next thing to work out is where to get the car rechipped. A different topic I know but any suggestions?

The EA888 in the RS is the same engine as the Mk7 GTI so any tune for it will work for the RS.

APR have one: APR 2.0 TSI Generation 3 ECU Upgrade

Recode are doing them as well: https://www.facebook.com/RecodeTuning

Just to name a couple.

Well we've just put the money down for a standard RS wagon in silver. The only option that it comes with is the auto boot. I found a white wagon at Newcastle with the 19" wheels that I didn't want for $44k and they had a Steel Grey manual there for $46.
We paid $40 drive away
From the ringing around I've done and from hearing other people getting their cars it looks like our order didn't go in when we placed the order back in April. Not happy with the dealer but I'm not going to turn back the $40k price. We'll get the goodies when we order the markIV
We'll pick up the car on Friday.

MArk. Recode. Miranda. I can offer a few other suggestions but what's the budget?

I have asked that How to get RS Chipped Question and no one has done one was the answer.

Who told you that rubbish?

I need some guidance, when signing a Purchase Order/Contract or Offer to Purchase how much deposit are you buyers required or agreeing to place in cash with the dealers? It may vary of course.

And what sort of option out clauses has anyone inserted in?

Would you for instance if you were told it would take 9 months to delivery, if it went past nine months, thereafter you could request a full refund or a courtesy car until delivery? Or should it be along the line of the dealer promises a build date of January 2015 and they fail that, you can request a full refund? Any other clauses you can suggest that offer a option out?

What do you buyers think?

I am at the point of staking my claim on a MY15 vRS DSG Wagon in White with Tech Pack with RVC and telling the dealer/s here, to deal or no deal?

Wife still keen on a MY15 130TDI Tiguan...... there about the same RRP $$$$

Cheers Al

I think $500 would be the minimum.

I would/will be having the following clauses written into mine:

Subject to VW finance at an interest rate no greater than my current rate.
Subject to acceptable trade in amount
subject to car being deivered by 30th May 2015

if the dealer won't accept my clauses ill be letting him know I won't be proceeding with the sale.

Anyone recommend a good finance company for my RS Combi DSG Petrol for a Chattel Mortgage? $46k

[GTR27]

According to Skoda's website all RS Octavia's come standard with 9 airbags. The VIN decoder says I have 7 airbags and I have ordered a wagon panoramic sunroof. I didn't realise until now that they must omit curtain airbags to allow for the the pano roof (or do they just change the airbag number code to 7 to indicate a pano roofed car?). Your VIN indicates 7 airbags as well ..did you order a pano roof?

Something must have changed for yours. Mine is an ambition plus with pano roof and mine has 9 in the vin

Try brendan.zadravec@stratton.com.au from Stratton Finance ... blew all other Chattel Mortgage quotes out of the water.
BTW would you mind checking your VIN and letting me know if the sixth character is a 9 or a 7. I've also ordered a pano roof like yourself and curious to see if 7 is the code for pano roofs on RS models rather than an indication of number of airbags like it is for non pano models. Cheers Mark

.... forgot to mention that if your car is delivered prior to Oct 31st Skoda Finance are throwing in free extended 2 year factory warranty. If you miss out on the free extended warranty cut off, I was almost $4k better off in total repayments over 4 years going with Stratton over Skoda Finance's initial offer. In fairness, Skoda Finance became much more competitive once I informed them of the difference and that I was going with Stratton.

Cheers, thought it was strange that the curtain airbags would be omitted in Pano roof models.

if you are not buying a RS, Skoda Finance are offering 2.8% at the moment as well.

My Elegance VIN:TMBBJ8NE9E0
Wife's Ambition+:TMBKC9NE6E0

[MJKooLio]

Hrmmmm 2.8 sounds great!!! But I'm going to the states in 6 days, my car is at the dealer but I'm picking up on Nov 3rd... That's when I'll finance it from... I haven't had it the past three weeks so another month I won't have it hence not wanting to pay two months! Dealership have been very good on holding my purchase... Will enquire about their finance but have just checked Stratton before reading this post... They seem very good!!!

Thanks gwk
I'm in the inner west so Miranda isn't to far away.
I had a look at the APR website and amazed at the huge power gains. I won't be left to far behind my mates Aston Martin 4.3 V8 after all

[godzilla_110TDI]

So the 2.8% finance doest extended to the RS? Booo
