Expected Delivery?

[niggle]

Do you really think a dealer would sacrifice their own commission just so that I can save a few hundred quid in interest payments after taking delivery?

 

[Excalpino]

You are way too cynical!!

 

[niggle]

Perhaps.

If I had known that the dealer was a non-profit making organisation I would have asked for the VAT to be deducted off as well.

Panic over.

Can now report order date 18/01, scheduled build w/c 24/02.

Obviously the nice lady at SEAT thought build week was too technical for me (and might be right).

wow, that's a fast turn around, you might get your car after only 9 weeks. I'm hoping mine be that quick as well. Dealer should be contacting me today with the build week details. :fingerscrossed:

Mine was about 9 weeks.

So was mine and that was back in June.

I got quoted 12-14 weeks when I ordered mine around the end of Jan

 

[gaffer1986]

If it helps, I got quoted 08/03/14 but got it 01/02/14.

just had a update mail from the my dealer

Your order now has a confirmed build week for its production at the factory in Spain, this is wk/10 (6th-12th March), so depending on shipping it is likely to arrive in the UK before the end of March

Ordered a 184bhp 5dr TDI with a few extras on the 2nd of Feb. Rang Seat this morning was given week 10 build date.

It justs keeps getting better.
Just got a call from the dealer and the car has been built.

Could there have been a cancelled order somewhere?

just had a update mail from the my dealer

*high five* we have the same build week!

 

[Excalpino]

Just got my build week from Seat CS.
Car Ordered 5th Feb (after changing original order placed 20th January see thread "Changing Specification after placing order")

Build week scheduled for week 11 (w/c 11/03/14).

Got this message from dealer
"It is possible that the 18" space tyre may have to be substituted with a 16"
space saver due to supply constraints. We are waiting to hear and I will
update you as soon as possible."

No big deal as it's only a get you to nearest repair depot, and with the correct tyre the rim size is irrelevant. Note dealer advised me that unless you have a spare wheel you don't get a jack!

Build week now finalised as week 10. Factory advise ETA with dealer 27th March.

it will be interesting to see who 'wins' out of all of us week 10ers and gets their car delivered first. Must be a good 5-6 of us now in this game.

 

[Brucie]

Mine was also ordered 5th Feb so will be interesting to see what boild date I get. Dealer was quoting 12 weeks to be safe, but said cars are typically arriving in 6-7 weeks at the moment. Fingers crossed!

I would double check with them that the 16" will fit.
You can get the same diameter with the tyre, but I would be more worried about the inside of the wheel fitting over the bigger disks of the 184.

Just wanted to check in, after having Hyundai i30 for 2 years now I couldnt resist after test driving MK3 FR, ordered 1.8 DSG and caaaant wait. 27Jan and 12 estimate.

Now the waiting game begins.
