Hey, no worries man. Happy to share! 
Will most probably need to wait for COE to conclude next Wednesday first. 
My guess is it’s below the GTI, at around $19x,xxx. 😊

Regrettably, the Combi would have to be later. 

[Soya]

Wow...the day has come for ard $200k for a Skoda

Huatalicious!

With High COE hard to sell Skoda in my opinion..

we may see the repeat of 2013/2014 where mercs/bmw flood the road

Saw a red one on the road yesterday. Must be this same media test unit 

Article says pricing is $100 off $200k.......$199,900! Ouch

Looks good but can you swallow the price tag? 🤪 Full set of images available here: 

I think it's a harder pill to swallow now exacerbated not just by current COE prices but also in comparison to the previous RS 245's last selling price at just $141,900. 

But if I have 200K to spare, I'll get this over the $488K AE86 on our used car pages. Haha.

The boot can carry many many Sonos soundbars home ;D

[Beregond]

how is the spec compare to the stinger similar price??

[Arogab]

😂 Once upon a time, I was sitting in a Skoda Octavia passenger seat with a friend. I keep hearing this water blobbing sound especially during braking and keep turning my head to find out what is it. When my friend noticed I keep turning my head, he commented the sound might be from the fuel tank.

😅 I keep telling my friend, of the many years I drive, I have never heard the sound of the fuel tank like this so closely although it can sound like the fuel is moving while braking. I say I find it more like at the back seat or the door.

As it is, when we manage to get out of the expressway and stop by somewhere, I open the door, bend down and remove a little rubbish like item at the bottom of the door and water start to flow out like a stream of urine for almost 2 mins. Then we know that the last 2 days of rain has caused the water to seep into the door panel and fill half of the door with water and due the the outlet blocked, it did not leak out. Haha, what a quality

Yeah that's what I thought too. Although the new C class estate is quite a gap but offers better resale value.

Was actually looking at this since the PI launch it at 150-160k.

My friend managed to get the MK3 at around 125k in early 2020.

That's a steal.
