I didn't see one MK3 Cupra in first two years of production. First one I saw was the ST in monsoon grey. Now seen plenty. Even got a MK2 in my village which wasn't there a few months ago.

We're being invaded, I tells ya!

To help anyone out mine was build week 35 and built on monday 29th August, it was at Santander docks on the Friday. It arrived on the Verona carrier into Sheerness late on the 16th although originally due in on the 18th September. It arrived at my dealership Snows Seat today at 4pm. So although everybody's is marginally different that's just insight to what it could take. It will now take probably 3 days to put through dealership depending on work load but been told there is a good chance I can have Saturday.

Sorry fella. The S2000 went 3 weeks ago. Miss it like mad, and am sure I will regret it one day.

They are such a tactile car to drive. Not particularly quick unless you drive it hard but lovely to chuck around and with a couple of mods sound awesome.

I know a few guys that have gone to M3 from S2k and come back within a month. They miss the seat in the pants drive.

I only sold mine as I didn't want to put to many miles on it but didn't want it sitting round on the drive either

My order is very much in the early stages, i only placed it this time last week but cant wait for it to arrive :) I have an estimated date of mid Dec at the moment for delivery for Leon ST Cupra 290 black DSG in Nevada White.

What colour have you guys gone for?

Order date and estimated delivery date are the same!.. I went for the Leon Cupra DSG Black edition in Monsoon grey.
Hope it comes this side of Christmas!

Monsoon grey was my other choice but I think it looks awesome it white :) i dont think you will regret it Sprog. Main thing i hope will grow on me is the white bits on the doors and seats.

The thing that changed my mind on the test drive was the gearbox! i was looking at getting the manual but the test car had the DSG, it took all of 6 seconds after getting on the dual carriageway to make me want one.

I have had auto's before but never experienced DSG until then.

Seriously thinking of changing my mk2 FR for a mk3 Cupra and was wondering what deals people have managed on theirs?

PCP or private lease?

I will have enough for the maximum deposit including dealer £2.5K and I do around 15k per year.

Have been quoted £261/month on a monsoon grey ST DSG over 49 months PCP

Lease deals seem scarce atm

I got mine through fleet prices on personal lease, it was 9+23 with 10k miles a year £2111.62 initial and £234 a month but they told me vw group finance were ending those deals that day (last thursday) and looking at their site now its full price.

It looks like carleasing-online still has some running but its only showing 8k and 10k miles a year deals you have to call them for 15k.

Its worth having a good look around and give a dealer a call see what prices they can do on a lease.
