Why Buying a New or Used Škoda Before Christmas Is a Smart Move

As the festive season approaches, more UK drivers are discovering that December is one of the best times of the year to buy a new or used car. For Škoda customers, the run-up to Christmas offers exceptional value, strong stock availability, and a quieter, more relaxed buying experience.

Lower Demand, Better Deals

Showrooms are traditionally quieter in December, meaning less competition and more personalised attention from retailers. With many dealerships aiming to meet end-of-year targets, buyers can often secure stronger deals on both new and Approved Used Škoda models compared with busier months.

Access to Fresh Stock

Dealerships typically take delivery of new stock ahead of January registrations. December shoppers often get first pick of 2025-ready models as well as well-priced part-exchange vehicles arriving from autumn renewals. Popular choices such as the Kodiaq, Octavia and Kamiq offer excellent safety ratings, generous space and proven winter reliability—perfect for festive travel.

Attractive Finance Options

Finance providers frequently refresh their offers towards the end of the year. As a result, December buyers may secure favourable rates or low-deposit options before changes take effect in January. Approved Used Škodas come with comprehensive checks and warranties, offering peace of mind during a time when household budgets are under pressure.

Start the New Year Right

With their blend of efficiency, practicality and value, Škoda vehicles provide long-term confidence on the road. For drivers looking to begin the new year with a reliable, well-equipped car, buying just before Christmas could be the perfect opportunity.

Lightcliffe Skoda Warrington is a trading style of Clare James Automotive limited which is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allow Clare James Automotive Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes Volkswagen Financial Services. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to Volkswagen Financial Services, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and Volkswagen Financial Services also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms, and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
