I was at my local Skoda dealer yesterday, looking to order a Kodiaq. The sales rep was nice enough but didn't seem to be all that clued up on the various optional extras and had to keep going to his boss to find out some of the answers to my questions.
After one such visit to his boss, he can back and told me that due to it's popularity the waiting list for a new Kodiaq was now 16 weeks, which takes us into the middle of August. That being the case he suggested I take delivery in Sept to take advantage of the new 67 plate. So now I'm looking at 18 weeks! I was hoping to get one this summer.
Then, whilst attempting to haggle with him, he went to visit his boss again and came back with an offer of a few quid off but also said that from Monday, Skoda were increasing the APR rate for PCPs from 4.9% to 5.8%. His thoughts were that due to the Kodiaq's popularity Skoda felt they could get away with increasing the APR. Part of me wondered if they were just saying that to make me sign on the dotted line.
I'll be visiting another dealer later on today to see if they can make me a better offer. I'll probably place an order but gutted at having to wait till September.
