Accuracy of build estimates
- Thread starter R19
- Start date
A lot of cars is going to be build in week 16 and 17 
My dealer also says he hasn't got any info about delays with the 19" rims.

Ordered the 13th of March, week 11. Build week is week 17, plus 3 weeks is week 20. Suspect if it might roll in to week 21 which is 3rd week in May. But will know more once it's on the train/transporter/boat
Thats 10 days after I ordered and my dealer still saying they don't know for sure when its going to be built but they are suspecting the middle of may, I'm thinking they didn't order my car when they said they did!

Don't forget that some dealers use cars they have ordered for stock that are amendable in the factory order queue. Its just luck of the draw if they have anything at the time you place the order. But at most, this will only shave a couple of weeks off.
Just got confirmation, that week 19 is confirmed as the build date.
It'll be transported to Finland for "pre-sale prepwork". Then it should be transported to Estonia to my dealer. Whole of this is another 4 weeks. So mid-June is the current estimate.
For reference - car was ordered in March on week 12. Also the panoramic roof was included for my estate, which I hear prolongs the production period.
Anyway - can't wait for June now. Hope I cat get it in time for the Le Mans weekend, to drive around in the morning before watching the big race on the telly.

Just had update on mine. Been built a week early. Sat in Barcelona port awaiting a boat. Be here in uk approx 3-4 weeks. Might be within 8 of ordering
I got a call from my local dealership today to tell me my car is with now with them. Going to see it later this week and picked a registration number today.
Still no word from my dealer Will call them if I've not heard by friday. Really disappointed by their lack of communication, despite them telling me 3 weeks ago that they would update me 'at least once a week'!

Really disappointed by their lack of communication, despite them telling me 3 weeks ago that they would update me 'at least once a week'!I'm just awaiting a confirmed build week from the dealer, after amending the seats to the leather given the Cupra Alcantara supply issues. He did say it was likely to be 9 weeks, after a conversation with Dealer support, though he couldn't tell me if that was 9 weeks from when I ordered, or 9 weeks from amendment.
Maybe one pos effect of your longer delivery: you get MY2016
Yeah i suppose.. But the changes are just rumours at this stage? Id still prefer it in june ha.
Nobody else that has ordered around the same date seems to be having the delays i am..
It is odd how information dealers get it in turn pass to the customer varies.
My dealer says from point of order 12 weeks estimated.
Once factory confirms order within a week, build date given.
Then 3 to 4 weeks to UK on a boat/delivery to dealer.

What is your spec? I ordered on the 3rd march with still no confirmed build date, getting really peed off now!
I've ordered 280 5 door, Monsoon Grey, Pan roof, winter pack. So standard 19 wheels and standard seats.
I was emailed a pdf order sheet on 1st April (less than 24hrs after deal) and then a confirmation of order pdf on 3rd April (that one features paint code numbers and dealer info).
The Week 20 build info came in the dealers reply after I emailed Tuesday asking for a build week? (Again less than 24hrs)
