People waiting for their FR like me

[nobba]

Just enquired about the approximate delivery date for my FR and I have been told its due at the dealers 10th Sept. I ordered it last week so were currently looking at 10 weeks. Man thats a long time to watch the calendar!!!
If your thinking of ordering one get it done sharpish!

Just been speaking to the dealer about the delivery of my Cupra tomorrow and he reckons if I ordered one now I would be looking at build week 49 which is December... Sounds like I fell lucky.

SEAT normally reckon around 12 weeks for a factory build. At least you'll get it as a 57 reg. Probably better it coming in mid Septmber and beating the 1st September rust, meaning they are longer to PDI and prepare your car properly.

twelve weeks next tuesday for me.
but i am hoping to pick it up then,fingers crossed.

This worries me as ordered a FR last week got a call from the dealer Tuesday telling me they had sorced a FR and would be with them within 3 weeks.

My new candy cupra should be ready for the 1st september, they expect it to arrive sometime in august, factory closures permitting, so if it does come early, they're gonna do all the pdi stuff before the rush, just leaving the wash till last. mind, i've heard a rumour that they're only closing the factory for 2 weeks now instead of the original 4, so we may all have a pleasent suprise.

I know its not an FR, but was ordered begining of june, and thought it might be a good yardstick for timings.

Sounds almost exactly the same as my FR order, car was ordered begining of June, the dealer says it is being built next week and they will get it around the 20th August for collection on the 3rd of Sep as a 57 plate. Ive just sold my Fabia VRS so it cant come too soon!!!!

build week 28 for me, which i believe is this week! but my eyes are a bit funny at the moment and i may not be reading the calender right.

Hopfully the spaniards wont get too sloppy just before the big holiday, I don't want a friday job!

Same as me, I ordered mine at the start of June and have been told first week in NOV!!!!

Thats crazy, hopefully they have got that wrong.

Guys, unfortunately I think it first week in Nov may be true. The dealer I got my car from on Saturday reckons a Cupra would now be build week 49, so maybe the FR is also suffering delays.

My car got delayed and at that time the manager stated that I would be looking at 12 to 16 weeks for a build to order, if I didn't go with the order I had already placed.

OH

I wonder what the problem is? I hope mine isnt delayed as fingers crossed mine goes tomorrow and I couldnt cope for 3 months without a car

My Candy White FR with a few other bits was ordered in the first couple of weeks of May. Build week 27 - am waiting for confirmation it now exists, but expected delivery was Sept 3rd.

This allowed for the importing and the fact that anything arriving during August they didn't wish to deliver on 07 plate.

Seems a long time, but over half way there now........

Ditto, I ordered my Candy FR today with Bluetooth, iPod Prep and 18's

 

[mark]

When I ordered mine I asked about the white, was told 3 months but if I wanted black 2-3 weeks. Phoned dealer today should be to them by Friday - Monday at the latest.

18" & Bluetooth FR

 

[ghosty]

for some reason they had some at the port (wherever that is, hopefully not a field ) last weekend when we went in to order our FR TFSi, and we'll be able to get it at the end of this month all going well.

must have been lucky..

I think the SEAT business model is that generally they build a batch of cars for delivery over the next few months to put in a stock pool. But not in the sense that other manufacturers do, where they are left for years. (Leon Cupra's are an exception to this and are generally build to order).

As far as I know they generally do a range of colours for each model but not options. If you look at the back of the brochure it says any options apart from metallic paint will mean the car is subject to a 12 week minimum delivery time.

I was told when I ordered my Cupra that I could have had an FR almost immediately, as there are plenty already built ready to be registered.

A dealer will also try to get one from another dealer by doing a swop rather than put a new build order through.

 

[johnbev]

Called the dealer yesterday, got them to check and its build week 37 mid september?
Does anyone know how long after this it takes to arrive here??

 

[Simon_Peters]

My date has changed to the 1st of Nov now instead of the 4th! Wow

Pants but will be worth the wait!
