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?Last edited by GTR27; 13-11-2014, 05:08 PM.2014 Skoda Ambition Plus 103TSI candy white wagon, 6sp Manual, Tech pack, Panoramic Sunroof, 18's, Colour Maxidot, Comfort BT

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!2014 Skoda Ambition Plus 103TSI candy white wagon, 6sp Manual, Tech pack, Panoramic Sunroof, 18's, Colour Maxidot, Comfort BT

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!Ordered (Mid-sept 2014 / Picked up, end of April 2015): Metal grey Octavia RS TSI hatch (MY15) | DSG |18" black pack | sunroof | tech pack | comfort pack

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.

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!2014 Skoda Ambition Plus 103TSI candy white wagon, 6sp Manual, Tech pack, Panoramic Sunroof, 18's, Colour Maxidot, Comfort BT

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?
