Skoda wait times ? - daveyK_UK
Doesn’t anyone happen to know the current lead times for a Skoda Octavia?

My neighbour visited 2 dealerships yesterday and neither were able to confirm a lead time regardless of what version they ordered (they want a petrol engine non VRS hatchback/saloon version if that helps).

Thanks in advance

If the dealer does not know how could anyone on here have more info.

If you want to confirm what your neighbour has been told contact a couple of different dealers.

Hi,
Thanks for replying.

The reason I ask on this forum is 2 fold - 1. The dealerships she went to from my past experience are incompetent and I would have no faith in their sales staff; 2. Someone may have recently enquired about a new Skoda.

Thanks

You might want to suggest going on Skoda's website. I've just been on there and it tells you what is available and when.

Most make specific car forums have threads running with waiting times.

People post there when they ordered and whether/when they received it.

I have only been on two manufacturers websites looking specifically at waiting times/availability, Mazda a few weeks ago and Skoda yesterday re this thread. On both you could search their stock of new cars to find out what is currently available within the UK. Not much help if you have set your mind on an unusual spec and/or colour which they don't have, but for folk who are a bit more flexible, there are cars to be had right now.
