      Both Skoda Australia and the dealer searched high and low, but couldn't find an ambition plus WITH leather. The leather is a must, so hence a new order.

      Compensation will be negotiated in due course, but will have to include a loan car as I've pretty much sold my current car (one car family).

      • You know the leather is partial only right?

        As in its not the middle of the seats, just the side bolsters. It's not like an elegance leather.

        Edit: not trying to poo poo your idea, but I also wanted leather, however was turned off by the partial leather. Especially at 1200 - seems kind of pointless! You could get after market REAL leather for ~2.5k, not pleather. Maybe it's an option?

        • Hey Guys,
          Needing a ride on the reality bus around here I think.
          GTR, I've lost touch a bit but could you give us a rundown of the key timing for your order delivery ?
          Rough Order Date
          Order confirmed in production
          Built
          Loaded/Freight
          Arrived
          Delivered ()

          Can't recall all the dates. Just to give us still in the queue a bit of a timeline. (And to save reviewing the 266 pages !)

          Thanks in advance

                So that'll be roughly 10wks from build to deliv. Hmm. I'm unlikely to see a Jan built vehicle before end of March

                Where's that what will I buy thread again ?

                • I just got a phone call from a friend who said they just heard that Bryan Burt Ford has gone bust.........my car is through Bryan Burt Skoda.
                  I would be VERY upset if this is true, and I get screwed on the car. Tomorrows a public holiday, but I might go down there on saturday and ask my salesman wtf is going on.....

                  At the very least, i'd hope that skoda could transfer the car to another dealer (prestige) and I could proceed with the sale there. Annoying, BB seemed good to deal with. Just hoping its rumours and nothing else!

                    Hopefully your car is not frozen by the creditors! Good luck, I think you you should talk with your sales guy ASAP before the administrators freeze up everything!

                      • I think you should be ok as you are pretty close to collecting your car. I'd be more worried if it were still months away.

                        Deloitte said:
                        “We’re looking to trade the business as usual,” Deloitte’s Richard Hughes said. He said some customers had suffered delays but no car sales had been pulled because of the administration.

                        • Might change from going a DD, to getting a bank cheque. I'll hand that over when they sign the paperwork stating that i've paid in full. Might ask a lawyer what I should do so I dont get screwed (i.e. pay, then have car repossesed). I want my car dammit!

                          • Hi all,

                            Thanks all for your informative posts. After much research I ordered a Skoda Octavia Ambition today! It's DSG, sedan, in candy white with the new travel pack that includes the rear view camera (essential request by my wife and hence the need to order.)

                            The RRP is $26890 driveaway. I got it for $24300 drive away. About a 10% discount. Is that level of discount reasonable and what others are getting?

                            Also from reading the forum I see that there is a good wait ahead of me till delivery. Dealer said February but I'm guessing more likely April? Can anyone give me a guesstimate? Also will I likely get a 2014 or a 2015 build week?

                              Looks like you got a great deal! 10% off is considered good enough for people that ordered the RS..and you managed to do it with the Ambition! well done I say...

                              It's a lot of car for $24.3k! Congrats..!
