ŠKODA APPROVED Used Cars - The advantages of buying from us

 

Understandably, a lot of people are a little nervy when buying a used car. To take the uncertainty out of buying a used ŠKODA, go to one of our approved retailers. We offer a whole host of checks, warranties and the like, so you don’t have to worry about anything but choosing the right car for you.

 

Our approved used vehicle programme includes the following:

 

Comprehensive parts and labour warranty

 

If you’re buying a car that’s less than six years of age with less than 72,000 miles on the clock you’ll automatically receive a 12 month warranty. Older cars which has a maximum of 100,000 miles on the clock, come with a minimum of 3 months’ warranty. Warranties will either be the remainder of Manufacturer's warranty, a ŠKODA Approved warranty or a combination of the two.

 

You can also extend the warranty period at the time of buying, giving you even more worry-free driving time.

 

A year’s free RAC Roadside Assistance

 

Again, if your car has yet to reach its sixth birthday and has covered less than 60,000 miles, you’ll benefit from 12 months’ ŠKODA Roadside Assistance. If your car breaks down, one phone call will get you back on the move. Cover operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Terms and conditions apply. Please ask your Retailer for full details.

Vehicle status checks

 

We arrange for a third party to investigate your vehicle’s history and mileage, to make sure you don’t get any nasty surprises – like discovering there are outstanding finance payments owed on it or it’s been stolen or written off previously.

 

30 day/1,000 mile exchange

 

This demonstrates your retailer’s confidence in the vehicles that are on offer. (Terms & conditions apply).

Designing Škoda Vehicles

All ŠKODA models are designed at the Design Center in Mladá Boleslav, relying on many years of tradition in technical know-how, combined with modern scientific findings and experience, as well as with the Concern’s support. During this process, our designers seek perfection; passion and love for their work are manifested in every single detail of the vehicle models they create.


All ŠKODA designs derive from ŠKODA concepts and ŠKODA Auto Corporate Design. They aim visually to accentuate the virtues of ŠKODA – precision, dynamics, and tradition – so that the vehicles are instantly distinguishable from other competitors‘ vehicles. The domineering and original mask of the cooler is one of the principal identity marks of all the three model lines of ŠKODA vehicles and a clear sign of affiliation with this trademark. Other original elements of the ŠKODA design are indentations in the front hood’s profile – starting from the corners of the cooler mask, crossing the company logo in the middle, and gradually elevated towards the front windshield, where they disappear.

The ŠKODA Citigo - A ŠKODA for the City

 

Compact yet roomy, economical yet agile, the ŠKODA Citigo is an ideal car both in and out of the city. It offers a surprisingly generous interior space. The boot volume is a sizeable 251 litres, which can be extended to 951 litres by folding down the rear seats. Another clever addition is the Portable Infotainment Device; it seamlessly combines navigation, a hands-free Bluetooth system and multimedia entertainment in one**.

 

The ŠKODA Citigo also places great emphasis on safety and has achieved a five star Euro NCAP safety rating. That’s not all. For the first time in a ŠKODA vehicle, the designers have used a Head-Thorax side airbag to protect the heads of both the driver and the front seat passenger.

 

It’s also award-winning. The ŠKODA Citigo was named ‘Best City Car’ and ‘Car of the Year’ at the 2012 Auto Express Car of the Year awards thanks to its stylish design, superb efficiency and fantastic value for money.

 

Why not request a test drive or request a brochure to find out more information about our exciting new addition?
