new car

Hello All,
We want to buy a new Skoda Roomstor or Fabia estate 2015
should we buy from a Skoda dealer or is there anywhere online that we could get a better deal?

PCP or loan?

If you're buying brand new you won't be able to buy it anywhere else except the Skoda dealer!


Even if its a few months old I'd stick with the main dealer for their warranty.

Look online for best prices, broadspeed, carwow, drive the deal etc, then print off prices, show your dealer and see if they'll match/come close to the deals you're offered, if not buy online.

We all have dreams, I suppose.

Have a look at some lease offers, might be some that work out far cheaper than owning (if you're not too bothered about ticking the options list)

Hurry up then, The Roomster ended production in April, so dealer stocks may now be minimal-though of course that means there are deals to be had-though you will have to accept whatever specs are available.

The best way to get a good deal would be to buy one a few months old. It will still be basically new, but a couple of thousand below new price.

Don't even think about leasing unless you want a new car every 3 years. Assuming you're going to keep it for longer, its very expensive.

Depends, majority of the time then buying the car and keeping for 5 or 6 years is more cost effective however some 3 year lease deals have costs that match the depreciation after near 4 years of buying and owning a car outright, so you'd need to own the car for over 4 years, and hope it doesn't throw up a high cost garage bill out of warranty (quite likely on a VW\Skoda/Audi, they're not exactly famed for reliability any more). 4 years is between 40000 and 60000 miles for the average driver, just when parts start to wear out. Might even find its 5 years until owning outright makes more financial sense (again, depending on the lease deal)

You will probably get a cheaper price online but don't think they will take part-ex you may have to go to a dealer to get that included in the deal.

Not necessarily. The sweet spot varies by vehicle and even by time of year. My wife and I have three cars:
One bought new
One bought as an ex-demonstrator (3 months/600 miles)
One bought as used (11 months/4000 miles)

In each case we'd have been happy to buy new or nearly new. Sometimes you can get a better price on a new one than on a nearly new. Especially if you do your research so you know what the brokers are charging.
