New Octavia vRS

RICHARDPH34 · 08-11-2004, 20:25

Hi
i have had my octavia vrs since sep 04.Got a good deal due 2 poor sales in my area.
It cost me new £12600 i think this was a good price as second hand 6 months old they were selling at £1300

I would like to chat to anyone with similar vrs specs for tips and hints to tuning in the future

thats a good price, what colour?

tim smith · 08-11-2004, 23:33

my bet it is yellow? (each to his own but they always seem to be a bit cheaper 2nd hand in yellow - cant guess why?!)

that IS a good price though whatever the colour.

I was quoted 13000 by simplyskoda.com and they promise they are UK spec

what car mystery shoppers reported you can get 7% discount from main dealer if you haggle hard enough (thats after the 15.4 -> 13.990 drop in july as it was a manufacturer price chop, so cost dealers nothing) so 'in theory' main dealers do em for 13k ish.

motorpoint knock em out for 13ish but not sure they are UK cars - so wouldnt fancy that

£12.6 still sounds good though - brand new/delivery miles? or pre-reg though?

That's a good price

That's £1400 cheaper than I am paying for mine

But, I am getting metallic paint (black), cruise and parking sensors

Err, last time i looked, those options didn't add up to £1400.....

boyced · 09-11-2004, 18:55

I paid £13650 for mine black, cruise, parking sensors from a main dealer.

Chat away all you want. There is loads of expertise on Briskoda where modding the Octavia vRS is concerned. But first, have you had a look at the general information here on what modifications can be done to an Octavia? Oh, and welcome to Briskoda.

Black magic
what other colour is there???

RICHARDPH34 · 09-11-2004, 20:59

Brand new
00000000 miles in black

RICHARDPH34 · 09-11-2004, 21:03

Mine is the black magic too
but no cruise or parking sensors.
I would have the cruise useful though as i do about 50miles a day motorway driving but after 18 years driving reversing has never been a problem
Sensors should be made compulsary on all womens cars though!!

boyced · 09-11-2004, 21:46

doubt it will have 0 miles

You can always have Kruise Kontrol retro-fitted, there's a chap on here that does it, using proper VAG parts. I would definetly recommend having it, I use mine all the time

Mine's more of a magic grey at the moment!

No, it doesn't. But, here are the current list prices (taken from skoda.co.uk)

vRS 1.8 Turbo £13990
Black Magic Paint £275
Cruise Control £150
Parking Sensors £225

Total cost = £14640

So, when I got the price down to £14000 all inclusive I thought I got a good deal. Obviously, others have found better deals though

I'm happy though. I am getting the car that I want with the spec that I want for what I think is a good price

BTW - not that I need the parking sensors but I do tend to reverse park at work everyday and outside our home so they could come in handy

boyced · 10-11-2004, 13:59

£14k that is still a good price, I would have been happy to pay that but I had a few troubles with the first dealer and another dealer got me one cheaper!

The parking sensors can still be added, mine were added by the dealer. To be honest I think the dealer fit ones look nicer. See if you can blag them!

When is your car going to be ready?
