ag.morley · 13-02-2006, 18:29

Dr Zoidberg · 13-02-2006, 18:46

Not at the mo , but my local one was doing it a few months back

sotonjoe · 13-02-2006, 19:27

Presumably this is limited to used cars only?

No...............New with 06 plates.

This came out last year didn't it but I'm not sure anyone got a good deal, had a ring around at the time but to no avail.

Be interested if you can get a decent quote from them.

ChrisRs · 13-02-2006, 21:21

Isnt the vRs excluded from this deal?

Our local dealer (Irvine Skoda) has done it or similar twice recently.

Wasn't thinking of changing, but saw the ad and thought we would look into it. Catch was, dealer could give us a better price for ours against a used 05 Superb than on this deal. P/X price varied by best part of £3k!

Decided against it in the end though.

I've received similar offers in the past from a well known North West Skoda dealer. Offer is usually genuine, but I think you will find it's on a number of readily available stock cars, so models and spec could be an issue. Bet that doesn't include VRS though. Up the superwhites!

sotonjoe · 14-02-2006, 10:30

Interesting if it really is on new vehicles as well.

However, I'd be a little worried as to where this 'cost' figure actually comes from and how, as customers, we can tell if it's reliable or not.

My point being that it seems something of a sales gimmick intended to make us think we're getting a 'better tha normal' deal when, in reality, we're probably getting the 'normal' discount dressed up in special promotional packaging!

I'd be interested to hear of any particularly good quotes that people are offerred on new Fabia VRS's though!

Dr Zoidberg · 14-02-2006, 10:37

They show you the invoices from the factory with the cost price on them

Goochie · 14-02-2006, 10:37

I suspect this only works out to be a good deal if you have nothing to p/x

The cost figure is how much the dealer pays Skoda for the car.
However, Skoda are making money on this, and in turn if dealers hit certain sales targets, Skoda offer them financial incentives.
Therefore, a dealer can sell the car at cost+£1 to boost sales in order to get the commission from Skoda for shifting a certain number of cars - hence it will only be available on new cars.

sotonjoe · 14-02-2006, 15:36

ok, sadly only at certain dealers though!

I'd be interested to hear of anyone's prices on the fabia vrs though.

Dr Zoidberg · 14-02-2006, 15:47

When my local dealer did the same offer last year , some highlights included a metallic painted Furby VRS for 11.6k , a few Octy 2.0TDI with metallic and 17" wheels for 15.8k (1600 off list) and nice superb elegance PD130 for just over 18

sotonjoe · 14-02-2006, 17:02

interesting prices, but if that's the best they can do on the fbia it's still not THAT huge, some people have got nearly that off already haven't they?

It's still quite a bit more than most brokers as well.

Not too worried that my local dealer aren't running that offer just yet!

Well, yes, but that's because the difference between cost and what they sell it for is profit - so any negotiating is based on eroding this, so people are going to be able to get close to this via haggling, especially if the dealer in question wants to hit sales targets.

Dealer's don't actually have particularly high margins on new cars, hence they're keen to pick up commission for volume sales, GAP insurance, finance deals, paint treatments, etc. So you're never likely to see massive discounts on the cars via a dealer.

Can't speak for brokers though, guess it depends how they source their cars, etc.

ag.morley · 14-02-2006, 17:22

To get the cost price I assume you get the Selling price, Knock off the Vat, 17.5%then knock off about 8% then add a pound, Do you then put the Vat back on or leave it off. In the letter from the dealer it say's Cost +£1 No mention of Vat..........................

There was a big "*" on my copy .It said " *Excludes vRS".
