Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Also,

    Å*KODA Financial Services - Å*KODA Financial Services Australia

    This is going on at the moment, read the fine print, might be no good for you, but if it is be aware of it when negotiating (and its appears to come with the finance so don't factor it into any DA pricing).
    Retail drive away quote was $52k...so at $49k it's a 3k or 5.7% discount.

    Thanks to everyone for your prompt feedback, it has supported what I was anticipating to pay as well. Will continue to aim for $47 - $47.5k or $48k max if they throw in a few additional incentives. Will report back soon hopefully with some good news.

    P.s. If anyone wants to PM me their recommended dealer, where you achieved your deal, it would also be most appreciated.

        • Updated brochures for MY16 are up on the website

          Elegance grade is replaced by Style - horrible name in my opinion

          Prices are up $200 to $700

          SmartLink is a $250 option on Ambition Plus, standard on all models above

          • I'm thinking it's probably time to go have a serious chat with my current dealer and also another chat with the new one nearby. Price increases I will pretend don't exist.

              They need to work harder on that website - go to brochures from the front page and you get MY16; go via the Octavia model page and you get MY15.5

              • Spot the difference... Can't really see much for the VRS except for the rear seatbelt reminders and new wheel options?

                • I'm only seeing the MY15.5 no matter which way I try to get the brochure. At least in the URL description, maybe the doc is different

                    • AH, the pricing specs changes, not the actual brochure itself which is still the Dec 14 version. You are confusing me, it's not the brochure at all, rather the pricing specs sheet.

                      • Did the RS always have the XDL? I can't remember anymore.

                          • Tirranna is docking in Melbourne in just over an hour

                            =)))))))

                            • I wonder if my car is (or since it docked yesterday... was) aboard the Tirranna then, as my dealership advises an ETA to their location of 27/07.

                              Starting to get excited for the RS, advertised my Mazda last week and took a deposit on Sunday which I'm very pleased with. And the chap who is looking to buy my Mazda would like me to drop by sometime with the Skoda, he quite likes those aswell.

                              Edit: Confirmed, my vehicle is also on board the Tirranna, sitting just South of Cape Schanck at the moment... showing an ETA to dock of 1400 today but will likely be pushed back a little.
