Interesting to see the secondhand market opening up .. 47 K's on the Skoda Approved website. Lots of demonstrators with around 3k on the clock but not hugely discounted from new prices. Plenty advertised as 'coming soon' available in Sept and October .... so dealers are buying plenty of stock cars that can have specs changed for anyone wanting to jump the queue .. My local dealer had 4 in the pipeline, spec changeable !
Second hand market

Article in the telegraph recently quoted the Audi Q 5 as the least depreciating car after 3 years 30,000 miles in UK holding a whopping 72.5% of its value. The uk average is around 40%. The little Yeti was 5th on list at 65% ish.
My friend who has as all singing all dancing Q7 was in my car today and was amazed at the quality. We jumped into his car and both agreed that the Kodiaq is a nicer place to sit and at nearly half the price of his. Ok his suspension is better and there is a wee bit more room but he's going to Skoda next week to place an order and then get himself a new BMW r 1200 gs and a luxury holiday with the amount he will save.
Anyway. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that in 3 years time the Kodiaq will be on the top of that list or very close to it and I will trade for a new one having lost the least amount of money on a car ever. I may be wrong but I will put a small wager with anyone willing that I'm not.

Depends which engine you plump for. I went for the 1.4tsi and found it hard to go over 40k.
Yes, take a 190 DSG edition as a start and you can exceed 40k no problem.
In fact I just did that on the configurator, added every option. Nearly 45K :shock: .... but that would also get you into the £500 pa VED band for the first 5 years, making a big dent (I suspect) in resale value during that time.

Canton sound system
Crew protection assist

Looks like you do get a better deal than we Poms.
The metallic is free on the Edition. £550 on all others.
You still drive on the 'correct' side of the road don't you? Have to see if it's worth buying in Oz & driving one home! :lol:
Perhaps Skoda do you such a good deal because they are trying to unhorse the Japanese??

Yup - correct side of the road! I don't think they're trying to beat the Japanese or the Koreans seeing a top spec Santa Fe diesel costs around £45k. Mazda CX-9 is a good deal at £35k for top spec though but it's too big imo @ 5.1m.
A fully loaded Superb 2.0 TSI 280PS Sportline is about £40k over here for comparison with Skodas other model lines.

Eh? What do you mean by 'Superdry', or am I being daft?
I assume you don't want to see too many so that we remain 'exclusive'?
