I have to say im in the same boat. I also have the VRS manual petrol and i love it. It was due back in October but they have just extended it for another 6 months. There is nothing to match it on the scheme , it suits my every need. I will ask how much they want for it in a few months time, maybe i can buy it. I am also looking out for the Skoda Octavia 245 in local garages, Just that bit better than the one i have now. Yes there are many cars on the scheme i could get but i still enjoy driving and i love this car.
