Next Gen Superb - 17/2/15

[backdoc]

What do you guys/girls reckon would be a good price to aim at for a 206 estate fully optioned? List price is $63,500 drive away.

I dunno what's going on but the first batch of Superbs were with my Octy and have held up the entire lot at customs all week in Melbourne so not really impressed.

Ring a car broker and see what they can do.

Well, I took the plunge on Saturday and ordered an Estate 206 after a test drive, so I thought I'd better join the forum here. There isn't local stock of the colour/features I want so it's down to waiting as an order was placed in the system today.

Unfortunate timing, bluesup.
I understand orders to the factory, to be on the ship arriving in about 10 weeks, was Thursday 7th April.
At least that is what a salesman told my mate. He's ordered a Superb 206 sedan with Tech, Comfort, roof, 5yr service pack, in brilliant silver, with supernova wheels. He only came into the dealer with me on the way to somewhere else. After a look at the sedan on display & taking the wagon for a drive, he signed on the spot. He's not short of a dollar but it would have been interesting to be a fly in the wall when he told his missus. Out of a Lexus, into a Skoda!

They build all the time, it's just how long it waits for a ship. Once a month one goes from memory.

@ blue sup what spec did you order I see the Superb got a 5 star rating in the latest ANCAP

I ordered a lava blue with beige interior, tech pack, comfort pack, and tow bar.
I don't mind missing an order cutoff date. I can wait

Oops, forgot the sunroof too, with 206 engine.

I'll throw my hat into the ring. Just ordered a 206 Wagon, Comfort Pack, Tech Pack & Roof. Well looked after by Matt & Josh at Peninsula Skoda. Highly recommend them.

What colour should I go - Business Grey or Quartz Grey? Thinking with kids and scratches Business Grey might be better. I haven't seen Moon White in the flesh, but after 4 white cars I feel like a change is required.

Goodluck backdoc
I received a call from my dealer today, apologising for a stuff up. The car reserved for me, which was to be a brilliant silver 206 has turned out to be a 162. My first thought was, I think I'm dealing with Arthur Daley Motors! Of course the stuff up has to lie with the ineffective co-ordination in VAG/Skoda. The first question put to me was, "Would you like to take the 162, at a good price?" NO thanks!
I was supposed to get a call this afternoon to let me know what delay has now been caused, but unfortunately the bloke at Skoda who knows what is in the pipeline apparently had a day off today. Happenings today have implications which may well see me pull the plug on this deal, as any significant delay on delivery will see me incur several thousand dollars of unwanted additional costs.

I think I've had it up to the neck with ridiculous long delays on delivery, the car industry expects buyers to accept. I've never been big on colour preference, because I think all today's colours are too dull, lifeless & anti road safe. I've asked what is in stock & taken one of them.

Personally, I think if a car company hasn't got enough faith in the marketability of their own cars, to bring in an inventory, they ought to give the game away. Particularly with something like the 206; the rarest order for which WON'T want tech & comfort packs. Surely it's not rocket science.
Let's see what happens at 'Fawlty Towers' tomorrow. Let's hope my enthusiasm for the 206 is reignited. At the moment, the lack of a car threatens to derail our long planned time away on our own.

congrats backdoc sounds great good to hear PS looked after you. IMHO would go the business grey, I think the review on Car Advice is the same color. Looks the business pardon the pun.
