"VAT Free" offers

I'm looking at buying a Skoda. There is currently an offer whereby Skoda will pay the VAT on the model I am looking at. What I need to know before negotiating is who pays the VAT. Does this come out...

Would like to buy a Q5, but the dealer says there are no deals to be had because of high demand

The Audi dealer says he could give us 10% off any other model, but not the Q5 as they are in such high demand - do you think this is true? The delivery time is five months. We have considered going through...
