Furball Neutral Newbie December 21, 2006 Share December 21, 2006 That's right. I've been wanting to upgrade my old VAG car to my present one (which I had been eyeing for years). When the AD had the closing down sale, I just went for it. Now still happy driving my car for 3 years with no issue of support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ommph Clutched April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 Hi. Is CA really gonna drop Skoda? I have just printed my name on the dotted line for A5...n the SE still tell me dat their company is going to buck up on the marketing efforts!! What will happen if the AD drop the brand?? are we gonna be orphans? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Neutral Newbie April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 Congrats on your A5, dude tho I'm honestly tempted to ask what is meant by "buck up" as we've all heard that before from other places... As for getting the brand dropped and becoming orphans, if the car means enough to you, it won't matter too much - and this is speaking from personal experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel4fun Neutral Newbie April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 That I do concurred. 5 years on and you are still contesting for the last 1 Gen Tody owner awards ??? !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Try_conti 2nd Gear April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 Not so fast lah ... by then, I think ur warranty would have expired & u'll be servicing it outside anyway ... no diff, right ? Anyway, lots of VAG parts around and workshops doing VAG rides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Neutral Newbie April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 Yup, still in the running, and getting ever closer to the goal. It helps that one original owner has recently decided to wear red underwear outside and become a super(b) man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolaba 1st Gear April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 There is no free lunch in this world. Freebies are dished out when the SE has sufficient commission to be received from your new vehicle loan, vehicle sales commission and trade-in of your existing vehicle. Some distribuors are able to dish out fantastic deals for used car because sufficiently fat profit margins have been factored into the new car pricing.

Spawnstar 1st Gear April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 Any idea what was the reason for the name change ... CA to CnC for the Skoda Dealership ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe 3rd Gear April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 i suppose if the AD isn't doing a good job, getting from a PI isn't a bad idea. The PI you're referring to I suppose are VAG wkshops, which have been svc VAG cars for some time now. As for tropicalisation, i don't see why the PI can't bring in a tropicalised model. its all abt contacting a dealer there and getting it deregistered to be registered here. but in the end, it's all about how much trust you have in the VAG wkshop. The price of a PI is obviously cheaper as the overheads are clearly lower. There is no nice showroom to maintain, no huge stocking of parts. what's left is the trust part which is only something u can answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schneider79 Clutched April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 Buying from PI might not be cheaper as the OMV is higher. Also, CA might be selling a non-standard vRS which is like customised to fit locals eg, KM's civic 1.6A, 2.0A and 1.8 with the paddle shift. All the examples I had given should give you a better idea on where i'm coming from. Unless, you can confirm that Skoda's factory only produce 1 such car with standard options on the vehicle. Then you can try PI. But maybe PI cannot get the car into singapore due to emission. European cars are not easy to PI as the capital layout is so much higher than the Japanese makes.

Try_conti 2nd Gear April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 you mean its no longer CA that's selling Skoda but CnC ? ... although they both belong to the same group & boss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ommph Clutched April 9, 2007 Share April 9, 2007 Last heard..it is still under CA when I signed on the dotted line on 07 Apr 07. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
