This deal seems to always be on but they adjust the payments. However I believe this is the cheapest it's been.
Diesel Skoda Octavia vRS with Nav and metallic paint, 10k miles a year for £159 a month, £2490 deposit. Excess mileage is 8.4p a mile which isn't bad.
Yes - this is more expensive than a 6yr old BMW, thanks for letting us know.
Yes - you don't own the car, again thanks for informing us of that.
Yes - it's only 10,000 miles a year if you do more then find another deal.

Why I would think about things before this deal:
Lots of these in our fleets and the VRS diesel have been popular in all their variants. These ones are having issues there is a flat spot and hesitation which occurs at about 1500 -1800 RPMs, esp. when you come off gas and then get back on it, say slowing down for someone who steps off the pavement. Lights that are just going green as you roll along etc.
Skoda have failed to acknowledge this issue for ages, no fault codes are logged. Its just come to a head of late that its actually the C02 management software (yeah that lying bag of....!) which actually stops the car from boosting for a second (always on a down change), almost like a faulty waste gate for the turbo.
Its annoying, it makes the driving not very smooth, who would knowingly take on a car the hesitates then surges.
Its now been noted by many, many drivers, look on the Skoda forums (briskoda etc) and you see many disappointed customer.
Skoda are currently offering no solution b/c there isn't one according to them. I notice new engines are scheduled for 2017/18!

Sorry OP cold from me. Simpsons are a decent dealer (my local) but Lookers Stockport can beat this deal if you want one of these. £1619.91 upfront with £179.99 a month, total = £5,759.68. 10k allowance.
might want to correct the description. the diesel is not 220PS!

Amended, thanks. Thanks, that is a good deal. This one comes with Nav and metallic paint (which the Lookers one doesn't seem to) so if you're not interested in those the Lookers deal is better.

I have the leon 184 and can confirm there is a flat spot as you describe. Mine has a tuning box which I believe made it more noticeable for me. Despite this I would say it is a niggle on the Seat rather than a deal breaker, as the decent performance combined with nigh on 60mpg makes up for it in my view.

Amundsen Nav is standard spec now, so would need confirming with Lookers, but I suspect it will include it. Not sure about Metallic paint.

£220.80 per month here with initial payment of £662.40, 10ka pa and metallic paint included. Also delivered on a transporter (not usually the case). Total over term - £5740.
Sat nav is standard on the vRS.

No, but it has one that demists the rear window

And twin exhausts so it doubles as a wheelbarrow?
And can we call it a skip if it has a sunroof?
