2017 Skoda Karoq

[Ody_2004]

Style trim is about 10k higher than Ambition in cost price (before profit)

 

 

 

Basic cost of ambition

 

22672(OMV) X 2.27 + 2672 X 0.4(Tier OMV tax) + 32000(COE)

= 84,534

 

 

Basic cost of Style

26324(OMV) X 2.27 + 6324 X 0.4(Tier OMV tax) + 32000(COE)

= 94,285

 

Thank you for the detailed workout! So i not too far off! 

 

I still waiting for some insider view on the actual OMV paid to principle.

 

BTW it is against the law for not declaring the actual OMV wor.. like some former PI did.

OMV is on LTA website.  I used Oct OMV in the calculation.  However, it does varies a bit from month to month

Yup fluctuation is understandable due to say currency exchange n such

 

BUT under declaring is another thing.

As you can see, Skoda AD made insane amount of profit for each car... This is expected since they are expected to be tiny vol seller... 

 

And their warranty period is so miserable by today's standard... 5yrs, 100000km warranty only (which I believe comes with lots of ** in disclaimers) , and 3 free svcs instead of the industry norm 3 or 5 yrs. 

 

三年无发市, 发市顶三年.... read this in Cantonese and you know what I mean... 

 

This is why PI cars often offers better value for money.

That why I say over is price. 30k profit is too much. Anyway, there is PI and best part is even PI is cover by Skoda service center for 3 years. Just maybe you need to go there for 3 years servicing

So cost price at 84k selling at 112k. Which is 33% premium.

 

If they are sincere to improve their branding volume, they could have sold at 100k without lost too. Mazda is different scenario as it brand has already been established here before the new AD took over

[Sdf4786k]

In the past few AD, they are small fly. Now is VW. Just like Past Mazda AD sell their car cheaper. After change to The new Conti car seller AD, price is not as attractive as before.

 

To add on, this car omv is 23/24k and 27/28k respectively, how cheap can they sell?

Before the arrival of this AD, all superb come with premium speaker. Now they divided into few trim and only the L&K trim come with it. Why?

The canton system does not sound great. Better than stock perhaps, but not great Edited November 15, 2018 by Sdf4786k

I thought Canton is one of the branded AV brands on the market?

 

Prob made in Guangzhou , hence the name

Probably he is comparing with after market speaker rather than stock speaker. For sound noob like me and do not want to spend addition time and cost for ICE upgrade, i will rather still to the best the stock can offer

[Retro]

In the market for a suv now. Yup,equipments doesn't compliment high pricing.

Ateca seem better option.

Volvo xc40 lagi worse, omv about 25k, selling 160k!

Was at Northpoint City just now so took a quick look at the Karoq. Rear legroom quite decent, but agree the upholstry seats are a turn-off.

Looks like the thigh support is quite poor, with a shortened seat bench.

 

Most people just focus on the "leg-room" but dont realise that thigh support as in the width of the seat bench also matters in overall space. I rather have less "leg room" but more thigh support than the other way round.

Huh? An india car brand now still think high & mighty about itself?

That is why i question why would they want to turn off buyer with the basic trim. They should display what is the best it could offer to catch the attention 1st.

He prob mixed up with Land Rover/ Jaguar which is owned by Tata(India).

Anyone bought Skoda Karoq during the Car Motorshow last weekend? I heard quite good pricing and also some useful freebies?

 

Questions:

 

1. Ambition variant comes with leather seat or fabric?

 

2. Any one test drive this already? Or owned one, so far how is the experience?

 

Thanks.

[Ano727]

My AD confirmed COE secured. I will get my Karoq before CNY!!!

 

Anyone else ordered Karoq recently?
