I ordered a Karoq in May 2018 and at that time the Skoda deposit for PCP was £600

My car is now built and sitting at Emden waiting for a ship to Grimsby so I expect handover in about 3 to 4 weeks

I went onto to the Skoda site and I see the deposit allowance is now £1500

An increase of £900 is not insignificant

I have not signed the finance agreement as it has not been presented to me

How do I stand on this?

OK I know i have to talk to the dealer but has anyone come across this before.....and how did it turn out?

I’ve had this happen to me before when the finance contribution has changed

When it has gone down they have honoured the deal agreed and when it went up I benefited with the increase

I think it’s fairly common on cars with long lead times that cross sales quarters

The cars I’m taking about are BMW but I doubt VAG finance is much different
Thank you. Hopefully I will be able to better things but real life experiences like yours gives me a bit more confidence
