Build date thread

One can just hope Seat puts some effort into improving the infotainment system software during the time they are not delivering any cars

Yes, hopefully, whilst I've no direct experience of using it, from what I've read its somewhat troublesome to use and bug ridden.
Obviously a sign of progress..

One 'extra' I'd like for the ehybrid which I'll miss from the Outlander is an 'EV only' button. It's very useful

Well, I spoke to my dealer today, they know exactly nothing and apparently they haven't got a single car in quite a while. My cars status is "waiting for components" which looks to be the status of all the cars. It's almost open goal for Tesla and the chinese EV makers (there will be a storm of chinese EVs over Europe next year). Happy my old car still works ...

Just to update, my build week 29 FR e-hybrid arrived at my house yesterday. Good luck to those waiting.

That was great! Cheers to your new car

New update, my car is ready (status 7). Now they are booking for shipping. Looks like delivery will be before Christmas after all

Happy for you!
I've still not got a build date yet so hopefully Q1 2022....

How are you finding your first week of driving it and what did drive before so I know your comparison point of reference

I’m status 30 and itching to know whether it’s on a boat …. I could have picked it up from Barcelona quicker myself haha

Still no sign of a build date for mine and I'm currently having a debate with the dealership over the finance package as they valued my current car in July and its now worth about £2.5k more thus giving me more equity... They say the figures are binding BUT I signed nothing and wasn't given any paperwork at all from them and the salesman has now left. All I got was the card machine receipt for my £500 deposit. I've told them they either redo the figures or I'll walk away, even if I lose my £500 I'll still be better off going somewhere else with the increased equity.

I ended up selling mine myself and making roughly the same more over what the dealership offered, I called and checked first with them and they had no problem with it at all. Which dealership?

My car has a passenger reference for the united spirit, I take that as meaning its on its way!

Dealership is Faintree. I hadn't thought of doing that, suppose I could see what WBAC would offer me...

I found the one which offered the best price (which didn't change upon inspection) was https://www.bestcarbuyer.co.uk/ got £15250 for my 18 plate Leon 180 FR, this was a month or so back

Just checked their website and they are indeed offering more than most other online valuations I've had.

All sorted now, dealership have agreed to redo the finance and give me an extra £2k equity. I’ll now sign for this agreement so it’ll be binding whatever happens but I’m happy with that as don’t see prices for used cars rising much more now.

Morning all,

I ordered my Leon fr e-hybrid on the 20th October and have just been told it will be built week 7 next year. Didn’t think that was to bad?… does that sound about right or do you think it will be delayed?

Don't think that's too shabby, they must be prioritising hybrids considering I ordered a normal fr beginning of August and still waiting a build week (hoping that will be announced before the month ends)

My dealer advised me they were indeed prioritising hybrids

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..
