So I finally bit the bullet and ordered one of these Cupra R ST today with my local Cupra dealer.
(I'm in the process of cancelling my Lux ST order made in Feb that has no confirmed build date yet)
The Cupra R ST is being built this week and will be allocated to the Cupra dealer on the 23rd apparently. It then will take 4 weeks or so to make it here so should have it end of June. Its in Blackness Grey which is the only color available at the moment. The other colors are coming Sept/Oct to the UK.
I opted for the Pano roof and the ABT tune, but other specs such as ACC, lane assist, are not confirmed and nobody in Seat/Cupra UK actually know. Price agreed was 36K, so there was 4K worth of haggle room in the end, maybe more but im happy with that.
Therefore I have to option to walk away with full refund of deposit if i'm not happy with final specs when they become known.
