Handy Facts: Skoda cars: Octavia

Skoda Auto is a Czech automobile manufacturer and one of the four oldest car manufacturers in the world.
The origins of Skoda go back to December 1895 when, as many other long-established car manufacturers, the company started out with the manufacture of bicycles. By 1899, Skoda had won several motorcycle championships and a reputation for innovation in motor engineering. Following initial experiments at the turn of the century, the production of motorcycles was phased out and the company began to cater to the new emerging automobile market. Skoda built some of Europe's costliest and more luxurious cars before World War II, but fell behind when the West pulled ahead with new technology.
Skoda was last sold in Australia in 1983, long before it was taken over by Volkswagen in 1991.

In 1991, it became a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group.
The Skoda position is below Volkswagen and has a slightly more youthful and sporty slant to the model line-up. That means the cars need sharp pricing and something different to pitch them against Japanese rivals, while steering clear of any conflict with the VW badge.

There are new and used Skoda dealers located in Melbourne , Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Canberra (most suburbs) and regional Australia. Most dealers also deal some other make at the same dealer. Few dealers offer a worthwhile Car Insurance for your Skoda, however.

Used (private sale or dealers sale) cars

If you buy a used Skoda, we strongly recommend car insurance for your Skoda too.

Skoda Extended Warranty

Skoda comes with a factory warranty provided by the manufacturer. After the factory warranty has expired, you need to purchase and extended warranty for your Skoda. Things to look out for when buying an extended warranty are:

It is prudent to ensure you get the lowest price for your new Skoda, and the best place in not from your local Skoda dealer - you get the lowest prices in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Canberra and regional Australia by avoiding dealers and using A1 Car Broker (i.e. a motor broker) for Skoda model years 2008 and 2009. Lowest price guaranteed! You will save thousands compared to what most people pay at the dealers in the suburbs. You will also save even more if you have a trade in! Remember there's no second chance when you buy your new car!

I hope you found this Handy Facts of use! We may add a price list to this list too, but price lists are only used as an initial guide to the price of the new Skoda Octavia since even your local Skoda dealers in suburbs around Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Canberra or regional Australia will be able to beat the list price on any new Skoda. Good for budgeting purposes, though. Check our Handy Facts on other makes too!

And remember we deal with fleet sales too! We cater for any option and accessory, including such things as a sun roof, window tinting, towbar, and many other things (same as your dealers).
