My dealer in Cheltenham told us he was only getting 7 for the year and the dealer in Reading is only getting 4, but he did say that if they had orders for anymore Seat would supply the order but it would be a case of waiting. Apparently dealerships are getting so many in relation to their yearly sale figures well that what the dealer said!!!!

Most places like Carselect etc get them from a dealer anyway!
I am hopefully using Freeway (RBOS) and have been quoted a discount of around £1k.
Can anyone remember when LCRs were limited numbers........

Does the Passenger airbag deactivation system enable to turn on and off the airbag at will? i notice this is FOC on the config website...
Could come in handy for the 2 young kids i've got.

I rang Car select today and explained that id pre order through a dealer but they can do it cheaper and asked them whether they cna get hold of the cupra and if so when..She rang their dealer with our spec and he confirmed delivery for the 16th..Just waiting to see what they will give part ex for our 2 leons then will decide tomorrow. Think i will jsut say to the seat dealer that we've changed our mind and can we have our deposit back

Durham, England.
We bought our Ibiza through LLoydsTSB had no problem at all. They kept us upto date, The dealer contacted us to confirm details and arrange delivery.
The main dealer from down south delivered the car to our door and did all the paper work and left. Great service and could not ask for more. Was very pleased with them and best car buying experience we have ever had.

Any down side?
The numberplates had LLoyds leasing on the bottom of them.:( but thats was the only downside.

You are saving a fair bit by switching to Car Select. Depends on the size of the deposit you left, if it was quite small and you won't get it back, it may still be worth switching.....

Ordered Yellow as a shrine to our lovely yellow FR..

But today bit cheesed off with Carselect though as even though they've knocked £1200 of the Cupra for us they have offered cr*p trade in prices which actually makes it more expensive going through them than our Seat dealer

£9600 for the yellow 05 TDI FR
£11,500 for the red Reference Sport Special edition
This is £2000 less than out Seat dealer!!!!!

Not sure if we should try and sell them private but its the hassle that goes with it

But you have to consider you will have at least a couple of months to sell privately whilst you wait for the Cupra. This is what I intend doing for the same reason.
