Update... 3rd Feb 2022 and STILL no build date!! Ordered first week of Sep' 21. I know some of you have been waiting much longer - and then again, some have ordered later than September 2021 and are driving Cupra's already.
Ordered through a company that does discounts for 'blue light' services... got a decent wedge off the price of a V2 1.5 TSi DSG (with optional Beats Pack specs'd and the electric tailgate); saved about £6k off the list price. But then was completely miffed when hearing the news of the car being de-specc'd and now coming with the 10" screen rather than the 12".
Called the dealership for an update as I now have access to the SLI number (from said discount company - which I didn't have before). Order was placed with Marshalls Seat... When I called them, they basically just laughed and told me "we can confirm that Seat have accepted the order - that's it!"
Was told "maybe September now; we just can't say!!"
Seriously tempted to just cancel now - and keep the Jaguar XE (lease) I'm currently driving for another 2 years - and let the chip shortage situation sort itself out. Lease price goes down slightly when keeping it for another 2 years - and can save a bit of money - and avoid some of the headaches a lot on here have been experiencing?
I know there's been some 'success stories' but they are few and far between. It even seems like a success story is 'learning to live with it'... but I don't wanna fork out good money and just learn to live with it; that would seriously irk me
Keeping the current lease for another 2 years, paying less and enjoying hassle-free motoring - whilst enjoying a kick-ass Meridian 380W 12 speaker system - just feels like the right option just now.
Was buying the Cupra Formentor (not lease this time); but I'm now beginning to think that the chip shortage and no build date in sight (for me at least), are a blessing in disguise!!??
