That's not bad. Any optional extras? I have a desire red ehybrid fr estate on order with pan roof for long time and still don't have a build date..
It’s the urban silver hatch with the wraparound lighting and the safety and driving pack xl.

Definitely a good turnaround. Just checked paperwork - mine ordered end of July and was due in October but then all started to slide.
Dealer advised Seat factory still not providing a build date... 🤔🙄🤪

just asked the dealer for an update and he told me.
Cheers, they’ve just come clean and told me it’s due on the next boat which should be leaving on the 24th. Utter p*ss take for a car ordered in April regardless of parts issues!

A mad wait. Many optional extras etc? Extra set of doors, 007 ejector seat..

Mind you, looking at some of the feedback on this thread dates seem very much hit and miss.
Some wait an inordinate amount of time, others pretty quick.
I doubt dealer pressure has much affect, although one feels the old ways of he who shouts loudest should...
Easy to pull rope but much harder to push it!! 🤐🤪

Absolutely standard 1.5 dsg V2. The only option was graphene grey paint. Was a week 33 build yet people with build weeks after that have or are receiving cars before me. Was originally told July when it was ordered!

A roulette wheel customer build date system in operation in Spain it seems..

Yay so finally I have a build week, so normal Leon FR ST 1.5 130 with safety pack M and Wraparound lighting, ordered first week of August with a provisional build week of week 7, so mid Feb, a little annoyed as I wanted it ready for 1st March, but I assume it would be like a month from build week to collection day!??

I’ve had a hybrid Leon FR Sport with panoramic roof on order through Perry’s Lease in Bolton since early Sept. and haven’t had any news about dates so far…other than a “well, erm, maybe January?”

They did say that options are not the thing causing delays, but I’m not sure if that’s real or just wishful thinking / aimed at keeping me quiet. The lack of communication from end to end is the worst part, but maybe Seat just don’t know when their suppliers will deliver anything.

I can’t knock them at Perry’s Bolton. Considering how busy they are and how many people they must have ringing and chasing them on cars I’ve always found them to be helpful. I’ve bought two cars off them this year and sold a car to them.

think we need to cut the dealers a bit of slack in the current climate I can imagine they are equally as frustrated with seat / cupra when they are chasing vehicles on our behalf

Definitely my feeling too. There seems to be a much information dripping through to them as there are cars!

Yeah can't fault Crewe SEAT, my 2nd through them, Paul couldn't be anymore helpful, said its difficult at that moment to get cars through, being about 200 miles away never met or been to the dealer, so looking forward this time around in actually going to the dealer and picking this one up! Come March
