    Pre-ordering facelift Octavia RS 169TSI

    Hi everyone

    Has anyone else in the Skoda community pre-ordered the new Octavia RS facelift model?

    Just wondering what the feedback is like so far in terms of expected delivery, what optional packs you added, best dealership experience and of course the best deal.

    I'm looking to purchase fairly soon and have been told different dates on its arrival. Today, I've just seen on Carsales that one dealership has them in stock and available for a test drive! Pre-ordering facelift Octavia RS 169TSI

    Keen to hear more details and buying experiences so far.

    You mean one of these. I saw it at Peninsula Skoda a couple of weeks ago. One of the guys, Chris, on the Auskoda FB forum has pre-ordered one, it has been built and is on a boat as of a couple of days ago.

    Also, it would help to know which state you are in to help with dealership experiences. In Melbourne Peninsula have been great, cant speak more highly of them.

    When I went to the Skoda Artarmon at the beginning of last month they told me I could get one on the last week of June... which I now highly suspect was BS. Was told ~46K for a basic RS169... but I figured I'd preferred the 'old' model with a lot of options which would still cost me a lot less so I didn't take them on their offer. But maybe give them a ring and see if they already have some in stock... might save you the wait!

    Thanks heaps for the info Undecided.

    I might just call the guys at Alto and see what details they have.

    Think there is one in Artarmon and another in Pennant Hills. The Carsales advert is for Pennant Hills.

    The dealers in Melb all have them sitting there since the Kodiaq came out. I'd hazard a guess and say they were on the same boat. Id expect about 3-4mths from build to get to you, but depends if there is one already in the system they have put in that matches what you want.

    Thanks woofy

    I will give a couple of dealerships a call before I drive out there to check if they have the new facelift model in the showroom.
