That's crazy. Do you park on the road? In a big city?

No, got a driveway and it's a good 7 miles from any major cities

So the saga continues. Seat CS have today confirmed that my car has not made it onto the Comet Ace currently in port. This despite the car been at the port compound for the last 3 weeks.

Neither will they guarantee it’ll be on the Pegasus Ace next week.

So it’s time to cancel the order. Shame as when I first ordered I was so looking forward to getting the car.

If anyone wants an ST in Nevada White with Pan roof then it’ll be in the UK within the next 5 years!!!

When i get a set date for getting the car I will start doing but getting from £3k to under a grand would take life of brian style haggling skills :')

For insurance, Admiral via Gocompare was £370 (It was about £430 on Compare the Market) on my ST so it is worth shopping around the different price comparison sites.

Yes. There's a button to turn it off but it doesn't latch in the standard Cupra so you need to turn it off everytime to do a journey.

You can buy a memory unit to fix that fairly cheaply. Alternatively, you can turn it off permanently with OBD11 as I have.

Aviva here. Wife’s policy. Plus we have home insurance with them. Seems to lower it as she’s been quoted £380 for 8k, Parked on the drive with commuting/business use.

Fastest NHS District Nurse in South Yorkshire.

When we get it. #bitter

I’m about £800, old fart, clean licence, 7 years NCB, but parked off street in City Centre. Went up about £40 from previous MB C250D AMG Line.

An interesting development.

Got to talk to a claims manager at Seat today who is investing my complaint. They’ve advised that according to their records the order was placed with Seat from the dealership with a handover date of 25th November. The order was placed in June.

So Seat have not placed any build or delivery priority on my order because they had 7 months to deliver it.

Needless to say if I’d known this weeks ago I would have requested the handover date to be brought forward.

I’m also annoyed that DM Keith have not advised of this previously when questioned why the build was taking so long.

Have seat always been this bad or is this a new phenomenon? My car is going to have to be something incredible for me to ever consider ordering another Seat, every step has been painful. If I could find a car in stock somewhere that I wanted then I would cancel my order tomorrow.

I just spoke with Seat CS there...who confirmed ship left today without my car.

My car is in compound in Barcelona also, she did say even though it's not been allocated a ship it's likely will get on the next one, which is due to leave on 16th Nov, for Grimsby.

Sounds like we be on the same boat. There's a pun in there somewhere.

She also advised my dealer has requested the car to arrive with them no earlier than 22nd Nov... presumably so can have a full transporter and do PDI's in one go.

I'm going to call back on 14th or 15th to see what the script is - without reading into this too much. Seems like should be ready w/c 25th Nov.

...might be worth hanging in there another week or two!?

Ps I have a Nevada White ST with pano roof on order too! Good choice!!

I’d like to say I have trust in what they say but I’ve now missed out on 2 ships!!

Can only imagine!! Fair play for hanging in there

Silver lining is the next ship seems to tie up with your handover of 25th...

I find myself getting pissed off with the cars in front riding their clutches or moving for no reason. My engine shuts off and a millisecond later the car in front nudges forward causing the engine to restart. Just an extra thing to give me road rage.
If you ever so slightly move the steering wheel it also kicks in!

Just FYI, or perhaps just general information for everyone, I disabled start/stop on my GTI using Carista so it is deactivated by default when you get in the car. No help to people wanting to use start/stop of course but that feature annoyed me ever since I got the car nearly 3 years ago (I deactivated it this summer), haven't noticed any difference in actual MPG either.

 

[KernelOkey]

I just turn start&Stop off as soon as I start the car, its a reflex now so dont even think about it I mean, its about a finger away from the shifter

Hi guys,

I have a build date of 11.11.19 from LO. I’m told I will have my car by the end of the year...
reading through this forum, I’m guessing I need to take that with a pinch of salt.
When you are calling up SEAT & finding your cars are sat at ports or on a boat... what reference are you using to locate your car?
Thanks in advance
