Soon to be Skoda owner.

Thought it would be polite to say hello!

I'm in the process of ordering a New Octavia 1.9TDi 105 Elegance Estate and when I typed Skoda Forums into Google this was the first one that popped up. It's a company car and I was given a budget of 17k, nothing comes close to the equipment, size, tax bracket etc than the Octavia so my boss is extra pleased i've saved him a couple of grand!

Hopefully once i've ran the Octavia up to the 60000 miles we keep the cars for (as long as it's been reliable) i'll buy it and my gf will run it privately. Once that happens i'll start fiddling with the engine, wheels, suspension and so on and so on.

Hope to learn from and contribute to this great looking site.

Welcome to Briskoda, Dave.

Welcome

Hope you enjoy the new car, the enthusiasts here dont just engine mod, there is plenty of car care advice and i'm sure you can upgrade your ICE if you're not too happy with the std.

Cheers peeps.

Dependant on colour the dealer reckons i'll have the car within a few weeks of ordering, reading some of the threads though it seems there is quite a long wait

Have to get three quotes from dealers before I can order the car and only one has got back to me so far! List price is £15,600 and he's offered me one for £14,900 with quite a decent APR of 8.9%.

Can't wait to get it and get rid of the Astravan i've been driving for three and a half years!
