Well I can say im happy with Cabs4less personally, a discount off a car and decent rate finance (after being advised the new plate months bring low rate offers), my credit history is a bit "cough" torrid to say the least but the cars here now....

ring em if only to compare

So what do you call a good discount,and a decent rate finance? I only ask because it will help others knowing what deal you got. I would also be interested to here why you chose a skoda superb.

I suppose deals change weekly (ish) plus I bought as the new plate came out, there were low rate finance on offer for a month, plus I bought a Superb and a new model is about to be launched (though not on sale till august it seems), I bought a 15 plate Skoda Superb 1.6 CR S estate in white, must be the biggest saloon/estate on the market yet good MPG.


email mark taylor if your interested, i got mine OTR for £13900 plus the VAT which I paid as the deposit , the finance was at 4% flat rate

Looks like he works from home hence why his prices are cheap.

Well thats only office space saved, he could rent a place for £100 a week but why bother?

OR, that could just be his company's registered address, who cares?

I wouldn't care if the price was right. He obviously doesn't hold stock because yours came from Rainworth Skoda.

no, hes whats known as an "intermediary" - same as when I bought my Citroen relay LWB van, the dealerships/manufacturers are "up there" (as it were) and we are "down there", Skoda Finance wanted a 25% deposit and hp over 2 years, totally crazy, Cabs4less facilitated HP, cos he has the contacts and gets a discount for moving a quantity of cars, but if it works, it works..

He obviously knows what he's on with, what was you finance over years wise?

So you chose the superb because it was a good deal, not because it's a good car.

where did i say that?

I tried a Dacia Logan and didnt buy that at £8000......

The Skoda is a VAG product, German via the Czech republic but still VAG, I could have bought a Passat but why pay the extra for just the VW badge? (and less space)

I agree, I've got a VW Passat and there's no where near as much room as the Skodas despite them being the same size wheelbase.
