Accuracy of build estimates

[nicolas12]

Ordered the cupra St dsg on 15 March. They could not promise any delivery times in DK. The production week has still not been confirmed (5 weeks since order)
Ordered with panoramic roof, leather cabin, smal satnav, black edition.
The dealer guesstimate a delivery between 12-24 weeks, no promises.

My dealer informed me today that the scheduled build week is 21. (not locked)
Expected delivery mid June. Ordered in week 12.
Is MY16 configuration that suppose to be a global setup or country specific?

There are more differences between the MY16 6.5" standard navi and the 6.5" plus navi.

The high has a screen with a higher resolution, other software, HDD, ...

Really? The info i read on a spanish forum (translated) said it was the nav high without the hdd. Although i could have read it wrong. I dont get why they would just literally upgrade the screen size .7" with no other advantages. I think this may be one for MY16 forum.

If and only if MY2016 effect uk, i thought it was build week 22 onwards. still nothing official.

Spoke to my dealer last Thursday and told me there is no news yet on any 2016 MY changes for the UK.

Yeah was only made on the 13th.
All going well within 2 weeks. But keen for me to have it before may of course.

But for you guys it means some more Leons must have come with mine on the boat........

Hmm, wonder if mine is on that boat too? My dealer said my car was 'in production' in an email dated the 16th april which would make it week 16/17 i guess?

 

[Kurtje]

How long does it take to produce a Leon? From the first thing to the last?

My Cupra has the in production status since previous week

I read somewhere (can't remember where now!) that it takes about 3 days to actually build the car, then they have a final inspection then goes to port to await transport.

 

[kevster184]

Unsure how long it takes. The boat docks at sheerness, kent.

My ST Cupra is built - yippee!!

My dealer has just informed me that my ST Cupra has been built, has left the factory and is on it's way!

So from placing the order on 26th Feb, the process has so far taken 8 weeks, when I was originally told delivery would take 6 months, because I had specified the standard titanium finish wheels, but the reality is, nothing could be further from the truth, so I am chuffed!

Think I might have a pint on the way home from work this evening!

 

[Kurtje]

wow nice!!! Congratulations!

You have the standard wheels on it?

But why do I have to wait so long?

 

[Famandy1]

Not sure Kurtje, seems very hit and miss - and yes I have the standard titanium finish 19" wheels, as was not willing to pay the £500 for the black pack so I had originally resigned myself to waiting 6 months, but now can't wait - haven't had a brand new car for over 20 years!

Mine is on its way here too. A bit miffed that I spent £500 on the black line pack when it obviously want necessary. Could have had a sunroof instead.

Yes strange one POLKR, can't get my head around it - perhaps we will get our ST Cupra's around the same time - not sure if anyone else on the forum has a ST Cupra yet - be interesting to compare notes with you in due course!

I believe that you can't wait for it
Hope you have it soon!

I'll just have to wait longer...
