Isnt it great how the simple folk are totally obsessed with a number on a reg plate , with the motor trade as it is , most of these so called NEW cars are probably up to 2 years old . any one who buys a car at this time of year is definitly buying last years car.
Ha ha fools and their money are soon parted.
We all need these idiots at this time of the year. IF you really need a new reg get on down to the autofactors and get them to make you one up , 11 D 1111, then you will be the greatest person in your estate , for the time being anyway .but alas time marches on.

In fact if you are a savvy buyer like most of the people that spend time on this forum researching then you will ensure that you are buying a current model and if you are buying an older shape then you are ensuring a larger discount on account of the larger depreciation in value.

Opel are going to have a lot of Astras on sale currently because of the facelift. Skoda have the same with the Octavia however they are actively selling the Octavia Tour as a model as well for a significantly cheaper price.

Ford had the same issues in 2007/2008 when a new facelift was released in July 2007 yet in Jan 2008 there were a lot of pre facelift models released and many were on the road by Hertz/Avis so by July 2008 when that model was WAYYY out of date they came back on forecourts as "The Fleet is back" sales.

If you do not research your car then you might be sold one of these cars.

1.9 or 2.0?

Where are you getting it from? Im looking at one as well and have e-mailed the garages. Hoping to hear something tomorrow. I know Autostation have a 2009 1.9tdi but I dont know if the Sat Nav is in it or not because the ad only says Bolero. I would happily take a 2009 if I cannot get a 2010.

flamegrill

2.0 TDI 170ps (125kw). Has the fullsat nav, parking sensors etc. Every toy a boy could ever want!

That self park on those would be class!

flamegrill

heh yeah I'm starting to get excited now. I'd hate to have to wait 12 weeks for one. But the dealer said Skoda Ireland got in a number of the elegance model in December so there should still be 1 or 2 to be gotten. That said there could be a huge demand for them so only God knows.

Zonda999

Your one will have selfpark wont it flamegrill? AFAIK, its now standard on the elegance Superbs. Friend of mine tried it out on a Yeti recently and said it was very impressive

flamegrill

Aye. I believe it's called Park Assist. You do the gears/pedals and it does the steering. I also believe it'll inform you whether or not you'll fit in the space which will be useful for a while . You also get a "radar" view of the car from the parking sensors that shows on the radios display.

Zonda999

Sweet, doubt that comes as standard on any spec of any other car in the class! Dont forget to show us a few pics of it when you do get it!

flamegrill

I have a heap of pictures of it already but there's no reg plate on her

Skoda's are awesome, ban that person who says otherwise!

Had my first one regged mid afternoon today and it got 551 so a bit higher than last year.

Looks very weird filling in 10X551 on a spreadsheet.

P.C.

I heard that there was a small problem with the VRT computer today. :eek:

confuzed

Just heard on newstalk 200 cars have been already registered with 10 number.

pburns

What is it with Skodas and the Motors forum:eek:?

It's like the recession has turned the Audi/BMW obsession of the Celtic Tiger days into a Skoda fetish. I'm gonna have to call round to my local Skoda dealer for a look in the near future to see what all the fuss is about...

kluivert

Registering a new VW Passat tomorrow. Coming in from NI.

Let you know what the number is.

ToxicPaddy

completely forgot to keep an eye out for these.. probably as I was too busy trying to keep the car on the road with all the ice lately..

Id say they will be rare alright..

R.O.R

Saw a new Audi with 10 D 81X coming out of Drogheda around 7 last night. Can't have been regged long as I got 73X on a car around 12.00 yesterday lunchtime.

Bonito

Seen a 10-LH-*** on a Renault Clio on the donore road in drogheda yesterday.

Also I know someone who changes his 4x4 every 3 years and his reg has ALWAYS ended in 1010, bet he's pissed because next year he'll be having a white 11-D-1010 Range Rover :rolleyes:
