Skoda is launching a range of offers to incentivise customer buying.

The carmaker will continue its no VAT offer on Fabia, Octavia and Roomster until January 31, 2010, despite the rate returning to 17.5% on January 1.

A scrappage deal on its Octavia 1.6 TDI CR has increased to £3,500 and there is 0% finance on a range of models.

From now through March 31, 2010, 0% finance is available on Fabia 3 and Fabia Scout, Octavia 4x4, Scout, L&K and vRS and Roomster Scout.

These offers are for contracts of up to a two-year period and require a 50% customer deposit.
