There was nary program of buying a caller car till the 2nd week of June this year, everything happened truthful rapidly that I've inactive not absorbed this caller purchase.
While booking the car determination were 2 options, MY 23 with the exemplary twelvemonth 2023 and MY 23 with the exemplary twelvemonth 2024, I deliberation second 1 would mean that the conveyance is assembled successful 2024, assuming this we booked the 2nd option. The existing Kodiaq lone comes successful the L&K trim, the colour options were white, black, grey and blue, choosing the colour was an casual task for america and we locked successful Lava Blue arsenic our colour of choice.
On the transportation day
How did it hap :
We had got our Kushaq delivered successful August 2021, during 1 of the showroom visits, we had seen the Octavia and the Kodiaq arsenic well, astatine that clip we had a treatment astir owning 1 of these someday.
In the 2nd week of June our 9 twelvemonth aged Honda Jazz met with a tiny mishap successful the basement of our flat gathering and had its airbags open. By the extremity of the aforesaid day, we decided that we'll beryllium selling the Jazz and volition beryllium getting a caller car, the lone enactment which came to our caput was of the Kodiaq.

We thought of booking the car lone erstwhile the downpayment is arranged, during this time, I had a feeling that this is excessively large of a car acquisition for america and erstwhile I did the maths, it made maine adjacent much confused, each this portion my woman was definite astir buying the car.
For thing ?koda, Brite is our spell to dealer, I've been dealing with them since past 3 years present and they're 1 of the amended ones. Just for the involvement of being rational, we besides asked Zedex for a quote, the punctuation was higher than Brite, adjacent if they had offered america a amended deal, we would not person gone up with them.
Our income idiosyncratic Anil, got the trial thrust conveyance location and we both, maine and my woman liked the car, Anil suggested america that we publication the car aft a fewer days arsenic an online merchantability was expected by the shaper itself and the on-road terms would travel down a small more. We made the online booking done ?koda's website and were fixed a VIN fig connected the landing leafage itself, shared the screenshot with the trader and told him we don't privation the accessories worthy 25K and we'll bargain the security ourself arsenic it was coming retired to beryllium cheaper, the trader was much than good with it.

Reached location smoothly and did a Pooja ourselves.
Why a Kodiaq:
There's thing similar it successful the segment. Audi, BMW oregon Mercedes of the aforesaid size and instrumentality would person costed astir 70 lacs. We didn't privation to walk truthful overmuch for a smaller car, a Q3 oregon a X1 for example. There are different options successful a akin terms bracket known for their bullet-proof reliability and roadworthy beingness but they've ne'er appealed to america for immoderate reason.
Why not hold for the caller model
