“When I asked my dealer about the cost of the Velvet Red, he said I’d have to [ay the full cost, not just the difference. He said they had made a mistake once and the dealer had to pay the difference themselves”.
Got back to the Dealer and told her about your experience and she confirmed that it is Skoda policy to upgrade by paying the extra only. Seems to me if he had checked with Skoda they would have confirmed one way or other.
Wouldn’t be the end of the world if I couldn’t have the Red I would go for Moon White. Great colour the Arctic Silver, unfortunately not available on the Coupe.
