New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[tigger73]

I was speaking to a salesman today and he said that the $3,300 tech pack was for the Elegance and this wouldn't be the same as RS as the RS already has the Bi Xenons and these are ~$1,900 option. His guess was around $2,000-$2,200 but he was still waiting on firm pricing.

It was just us postulating on here based on the contents and the discount on the other tech packs.

More reader here, then poster, but bit of a Skoda fan and thought this one seemed well priced, would be a nice replacement for my brilliant little Polo if I were to sell it. If I were to upgrade, would go for something bigger, like a Octavia.

Popped into my local Skoda dealer this afternoon for a look at the Octavia RS. Still deciding between wagon and liftback. Have decided on candy white, manual, Gemini (anthracite) wheels, Canton sound.

Dealer claims there are no manual transmissions in Oz and the test drive will be in a DSG. If I want one I have to order it without ever test driving a manual box and delivery will be in 6 months.

I am partial to the liftback. In version 3 it is rather nice in RS spec.

Saw a candy white, non-tech pack (but post-launch, it had driving mode) candy white wagon RS here in bris. It does look pretty sharp, but I think moon white would have that extra edge to make it feel more special.

I prefer liftback in general, it really depends on which side profile and back you like, plus of course practicality.

That's not bad for fully optioned. I just bought an RS162 DSG wagon for 40K. Had to haggle a bit though. Only option is the auto tailgate. No manuals, which I would have preferred.

Test drive a Golf GTI if you want to try the manual?

WOW thats a good price.

Demo bought, or ordered something?

The only thing that kept me from moon white was long term scratch/chip repair. Being a metallic its much harder to paint match. I plan on keeping the skoda a long time so being able to get dints/scratches/chips repaired and colour matched easily is more important than the 'extra nice' paintwork. Dont plan on having it happen but i know from experience others dont care (i.e shopping centre carparks) so being able to repair is important.

Ask a vehicle spray painter what they think of metallic/pearl whites - they hate them ! Even more difficult to match than other metallics apparently...

My dealer has called me to come in and check the latest Yeti they've received as it has come in the Dark Grey metallic that I've ordered my RS Combi in!

We just scratched the tailgate on our garage door, proper high impact contact on our Candy White Octavia. Amazed at how thick and tough the paint is, much stronger than my other metallic cars. Was able to buff out the scratches which was hard work and the paint chipped spot is white so you can't see it, not sure if they use white undercoat.

Vw group cars have incredibly hard,thick paint. Another reason i chose one
