You'd think given the evident backlog at the port they would at least pull in another ship from somewhere to get a couple more shipments on the go...
It seems like the docks in the UK can't handle what they have, so not sure sending extra ships will help much? Nicer to in stuck in Barcelona than Grimsby anyway?!
 
Just called up confirmed build week 48 (was meant to be delivered week 46) but at least I’m getting somewhere!
 
I've just rang up and been told (STILL UNCONFIRMED FFS) build week 49 so 2-8 December, LO said dealer should have the car by the 13th December so guess I will just sit and swivel (290 Cupra Lux in Gray)
 
I don't think I've ever owned a car 6 months and it be worth more than what I paid for it brand new.......this supply issue is awesome for 2nd hand value. Currently the cheapest 2nd hand Lux is £3k more than new on Autotrader.

That's good to hear! I still can't get over what a car you get for your £

Where can you pick up a brand new Lux for ~£21k?

Cupra Lux's on leasecomparison.co.uk are showing as in stock today and they were also showing as in stock on vehiclesavers.com earlier this week. Given nobody here can get their hands on one does this smell like fake news?
 
Anyone know when the car should show up on the government Reg Check site?
Seemingly can be day before delivery. I was told insurance company won’t be able to search via reg no so have to be told model etc.
 
My cars reg didn't appear on the vehicle enquiry site until the day before delivery, and I got the v5c the day after delivery.

Having had the car for a few days now, first the negatives. Mine was delivered with a scuffed bonnet and so I'm waiting for that to be dealt with (the dealer is being responsive, they're arranging a local bodyshop to address it), and if you catch the gearbox "off guard" I find the power isn't maybe as immediate as I'd like. However the ride is better than I expected, the bucket seats are comfy, Android Auto works well as does adaptive cruise control. The head lights seem pretty decent and an unexpected feature is the start stop will start the engine when it detects movement in front, which caught me by surprise the first time! Cupra modes ride isn't as firm as I expected. I've not yet checked if it's got the KESSY that deactivates the key if it doesn't detect movement, that Skoda are advertising on their site. Mine had 5 miles on it and a full tank of fuel, which is the lowest mileage and most fuel I've had in a new car, which was a nice surprise.

I'm very pleased with the car, mine came with Continental Sport Contact tyres and I've had no traction issues (ST so 4drive) even with wet roads, and unsurprisingly no real torque steer on the 4drive version. I'm still having to catch myself not accelerating for too long whilst overtaking.

And, if you want to check the odometer (beyond checking it when turning the car on/off) you have to turn the cruise control off fully (push the stalk all the way back) for the odo to be displayed on the digital dash.
