Yea it is a real shame the dealers a hopeless.
TBH, the dealer prob knows nothing about the 230s, and they Should know the 230 & 245 has the LSD....
I know they have a few models and specs, but they should know about a 50K car, which is the sportiest car they sell etc...

Yeah my thoughts exactly. If I was selling it I'd make sure I was aware of the differences between the premier model of the group and the rest, I'm sure it's a common question 'What's the difference between this and that'.
Someone on AuSkoda seems to be interested in answering questions I have etc, he's in a dealership in NSW from what I've gathered.

The downsides for me there is that I can't exactly test drive the car just 1 more time before making a decision (not unless I want to fly over there, which isn't really worth it for a test drive), I also can't easily trade in my current vehicle, not unless transport costs are absorbed into it all for getting my new car to me and taking the existing away back over east.
Wouldn't really want to drive that. Whilst it'd be nice as a road trip, doing it in a brand new car across the orange hell between NSW and WA, no thanks.

Many, many Thanks wingzee, golfage, Misticality & puhleese. Your contributions have been most informative. Guess I got ahead of myself re test driving as son-in-law has been offered a week-end test of an S4 Audi!!!!

So, with a new battery, I can ramp up the sale of our 2004 MkIV Golf R32 with all of 26,000kms & start the ring-around & haggling
