Had my 245 ps Octavia vRS order cancelled. Over subscribed at the factory. TBF, I was one of the last orders in from what I can gather. Was offered the 230PS version whch was initially a bit cheaper, but once spec'd to anything like basic of the 245PS, it was a lot more pm....

Oh well....

Out of interest doesn't this sort of scenario scupper people who are bouncing from lease to lease? I like the concept but I can see the variable lead times, cancellations etc causing a lot of hassle when you need to hand back the keys to your current car, but the new one isn't ready yet.

I will be coming across this scenario in the summer when my Golf goes back. Currently hunting around for its replacement but I think if you are on the ball and grab a decent deal in advance, the dealership can always hold it for an agreed time period. Worse case scenario you get a cheap runaround until the new one arrives!

Best place to start looking for estate deals?

Budget?

As cheap as! looking to keep it around/below 7500 over 24 months, some of the octaiva deals look decent and found a couple on the leon estate too - looking for a petrol.
anything more than that I'd be better buying second hand

skaif · 5 Dec 2017 at 09:56

I'm sure the golf r estate could be had for less that 7500?

Possibly, will have a look at that, not particularly a fan of the look of the new golf but if it's in that kind of budget it would be good

They definitely could, but they aren't particularly cheap at the moment. Usually a good offer comes along at the start of every quarter though.

Looking for an auto medium suv to replace the golf and it's a toss up between 2 completely different cars.

In the VAG corner we have the new karoq 1.5tsi 150bhp DSG with decent levels of equipment and everything we need for £220 a month amortised on 8k pa.

In the Swedish corner the new XC60 which is slightly more bonkers with the 250bhp 2.0 T5 awd for a total cost of around £280 amortised with 5k pa and luxury levels of equipment compared to the karoq (need 8k and will have to pay as next step up to 8k on the deal doesn't make sense)

What would you choose? The sensible karoq right? That's definitely the right decision right? Definitely? Not even consider the Volvo?

Right?

You only live once - The Volvo

...or Audi SQ7

skaif · 18 Dec 2017 at 21:26

Lol I'm in such a dilemma about this! The volvo deal will not hang around whilst the VAG deal will always be available in some entity.

I keep convincing myself either volvo or skoda and I've forgotten which one makes more sense now hence the post!

Are there any SQ7 deals even close to 280 a month?

XC60 is a really nice bit of kit but completely dull to drive even the T5 version. £280 a month is a good deal though, the list price must be close to 50-75% more than the Karoq right?

skaif · 18 Dec 2017 at 21:33

It's around £25k list for the karoq and £38k for the xc60! So yeah about 50% more.

Just done the maths, skoda is around 21% list price and volvo is around 18%!

Stop convincing me to get the volvo!

Also how much more dull can it be compared to the Karoq?

skaif · 19 Dec 2017 at 20:24

Head wins, ordered the Karoq! Will see what's what in the summer when it arrives.

Summer!? That's a long wait... Sure it'll do a good job, driving in Britain is 99% chore, 1% fun anyway

skaif · 20 Dec 2017 at 07:29

Yeah lead times are quite long as it's a brand new model. It works well for me as it coincides with the Golf going back.

Mini Cooper SD Chili/Media Pack XL
£140.23/month on 9+47
5000 miles

Change it to 9+35 and 10k miles, and it's still a very reasonable £163.19. Warranty is only 3 years, so 9+35 is maybe more sensible.

I've got to admit, I'm tempted.

[TW]Fox · 20 Dec 2017 at 17:48

I wonder where they've got those from? The Cooper SD is not available as manual anymore and hasn't been for about a month.
