hi guys this is my first post on here. Just to say that i usewd to work in a Skoda dealership in Scotland and the product has to be the most reliable and good value car out there. It has got audi build quaslity, now very good residuals (esp diesel) and dare I say it even desirable. My advice would be to wait for at least 6 months after the new octavia Vrs comes out b4 u buy 1. The dealers will then have their 8% margins for the new car. Alternatively buy their demo and no they havent been hooned around the place, I was a Salesman and quite often drove these cars as my company car and treated them with nothing but respect because first they werent ours and secondly some1 else would be buying them. The Skoda to my mind is better built, and more desirable than a Ford Focus. P.s the only colours currently available in the VRS are black or silver(UK dealer launch stock) and genuinely Skoda does not allow the dealers to take any money off a new car until the product has been on the market for at least 6 months. (arnold Clark seem to get away with it tho!!!) and that is why he doesnt have any skoda dealerships and he never will have that and because they are terrible at custoimer service and after sales.

In the dry, no doubt
Well stone me..I must have been in a time warp or something....I was always led to believe that Skoda was Czechoslovakian for shite...
Dammit..! I think I'll take my old TVR to the nearest Skoda dealership and trade it in for a couple of Skodas.
A Skoda Labia for Mildred me old woman and I'll have one of those Skoda Octagenarians.....
Oh sweet joy...no more lugging the camping equipment on the bus... a cavernous boot...excellent...the primus shouldn't blow out anymore...oh jeeze we can even go to the Lake District. The carefully crafted interior made from re cycled wheely bin...with a handy place to put my thermos of weak lemon drink....what a clever use of a spent Soviet shell case.
Oh Hells teeth...I just thought...my granny might borrow it, take it to a Garden Center and fill it with potted plants... she'll make it smell of wee wee...oh well..after the overweight Czech assembly worker has taken a leak in it, it probably will anyway...
Mind you I'll be the talk of the bible class...Vicar will be pleased...no more frightening the pidgeons off the church roof with that horrid TVR roar....ho ho ho
And I thought Ned Flanders was just a cartoon character....
PS For all you literal thinking Skoda boys, irony is not what Skodas are made from...I'm 'aving a laugh

Ironically enough though, one of the members of www.briskoda.net had an old-shape Octy vRS (modified to output over 350 BHP) to go with his TVR; can't remember which one he had though, those Trevors all look the same to me

It was a Tuscan IIRC.
Well, if anyone is interested i have an excellent condition Octy VRS for sale here:
[url]www.pistonheads.com/sales/63070.htm[/url]
I must say i had thought of chopping it in against one of the new ones until i saw the price.

Hmmmm, not sure about the big price hike for a lower spec. Also not sure it's worth it for an extra 20HP - don't know if there's more torque though.
Think I'll stick with my old shape one I got from new which I've had about 7 months. Got it for £13,100 inc metallic paint. The more I look at the more of a bargain it seems. Once I'm abit further through the warranty may let the nice chaps at Jabbasport (sp?) have a play with it.
Went to have a look at the new shape at the local delaer, got chatting to the sales bod and he said he'd sold an old shape on recently for £13,500 and said he made less than £200 on it.
