Similar here, ordered a 5 door dsg Feb 2nd (I think) and still no build date.

Just had an email from a dealer telling me that the Cupra is no longer being produced by SEAT, no idea what that means...apparently a new model due August-September. I wonder what that means for existing orders...
I ordered mid April with delivery expected October. I suspect now that if the car isn’t delivered before end August then I won’t be getting it in it’s current form. I will prob cancel the order if they can’t fulfil it at the spec it is before they closed the book today.
Im in the same boat as well looks like we may get the my19 spec and it could be a 290 instead of a 300 from what scrogg said. I will be raging if they change the alloys as i love them. We could be further delayed though if they cant get the cupra through the wltp 
Just my opinion but as Volkswagen Group are in deep sh** with many models not WLTP tested and the Leon nearing the end of its life in current form it would not surprise me if they simply discontinue the model- can no longer buy a non PP Golf GTi, Peugeot have discontinued the 208GTi and 308GTi, a lot of low volume models are simply being canned

SEAT UK, said they are monitoring my case but refuse to even give me an indicative date. Car is a ST DSG 4Drive, fully loaded spec wise. Last two times they have seemed to want to get off the phone asap, as they have got nothing to update.
Yeah that seems standard from my experience.
SEAT UK just seem to put calls in to the other departments and or dealership asking for updates.
I'm now getting weekly-fortnightly updates until my car arrives. A lot of the time it's to say they have had no further updates from the dealership.
Just keep on at them as eventually you should get some success may just take a while.
It's taken 4 months but they have since agreed to allow me a set of skirts at the advertised configurator price (inc painting & fitting) and a DSG 300/290 at the price of the IMG deal for the manual last year.
At least with the spec you have chosen your vehicle shouldn't be changed by WLTP.
Might as well wait to see what they have to say before you cancel. Sounds like there will be price rises when the order book reopens so at least the price you have now should be locked in.
Here’s my status:

It seems a fair few manual ST Cupras (including mine) got build weeks 23. Apparently mine was indeed built that week so I'm hoping it'll turn up in the UK some point this week to complete any paperwork in advance of the delivery. Might be worth checking with the dealer on the progress - I wasn't told the car had been built till I contacted them myself.
Just got word my Cupra 300 st manual in desire red is in transit from the factory should hopefully get it in about 3 weeks.
You guys all taking yours on 18 plates? Mine was promised a 68 plate and my dealer is still saying that's still good to go. I can't see how with the new regs from 01/09??? Mine was also built week 23 so should be on its way.
My current lease goes back on 01/09 so would be annoying for my new one to be the older reg!
The dealers telling me different to what most of the internet is saying!!

As it’s my birthday in July will definitely be taking it on a 18 plate.I wonder if these last 300,s might be worth a bit more down the line or will depreciate faster ?
As posted in the other thread
Now been given a new date of October! instead of the original July 3rd (Feb order) and no mention from anyone that it will be a different model.
Unhappy doesn't even cover it. Chasing the lease company now to see where this date has come from and if this is a date pulled out of thin air like the last 3.

I ordered mine the middle of February estimated to be built this month and delivered July at some point. Seat changed it to September without consulting anyone, dealer changed it back to July. If it doesn't come in July I'll probably cancel due to the amount of pissing about with no communication.
Just picked up my first Cupra. Had plenty of Seat cars (Ibiza, Altea, Leon) and finally decided to bite the bullet and treat myself. Didnt want to wait months for a new build so picked up an ex Seat Management Cupra 300 DSG in Desire Red, seven months old with 4000 miles on the clock and upgraded with Heated Leather Seats and Seat Sound. Loving it at the moment just getting used to the power..
