As the Octavia is higher end than these 2 models, find it hard to believe its only 123k. if so then its a really good deal! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuaige12345 1st Gear June 17, 2021 Share June 17, 2021 @Calinlin It really depends on demand and supply. For those who bought last year or even 2019, they definitely got it at a good price. But whether the demand is there is another thing. There will always be greater demand for Mercedes/BME/Audi/VW. Brands like Skoda or Cupra will not be able to match that kind of demand unless there's a change of mindset from buyers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VES banding plays a part in this as well, there's actually a fairly substantial price gap once you account for that 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Octavia is only worth < $5,000 at the end of 10 years and Scala around $9,000. So depreciation for Octavia is still higher. Just get what you like. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you and that's what I would do... Assuming I could afford to 😂 Ended up going with the outgoing Octavia at a sub100k price 👀 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shouyi 3rd Gear June 17, 2021 Share June 17, 2021 (edited) It seems that the Octavia is not as comprehensive in active safety features compared to the Scala. 1.) Tyre pressure loss indicator is only available in Combi variant whereas it is available in all Scala variants. 2.) Base Octavia Ambition does not have active safety systems but base Scala Ambition comes with Front Assist. 3.) ACC only available in Combi but Scala Style onwards has it. Octavia wins back points by having VC, dynamic rear indicators, shift-by-wire, electronic parking brake, an additional airbag for all variants. In addition, Octavia has a larger infotainment screen, plus wireless smartlink from Style trim onwards. Edited June 17, 2021 by Shouyi 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not juz due to higher COE prices as that's uniform across the board When Skoda was first relaunched a few short years back, it had to rebuild a tattered reputation to reestablish itself as a legit brand. So the pricing had to be competitive to get anyone to notice them Now w better market acceptance, it'll naturally start pricing the cars closer to VW as it's a zero sum game otherwise And wif the GTI Mk8 currently priced at an eye watering $200k, I suspect the VRS would like come in around $165-170k 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sense the Hyundai i30 fastback N will be a viable alternative at 280bhp if it goes under 160k The main reason why ppl are buying vRS is because of value for money. If the agent is going to slap a premium to it, then buyers would just go for alternatives. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
