Imagine waiting 6 months for your car, the day has arrived to collect it and then the dealer rings up and says:
There's a small problem...
Here's another from the outside. The dealer is top left of the picture.
Hopefully in 2 weeks, my car will be built and not suffer the same fate.

I got 23% off my brand new factory order this time around
I only got 20% off, through carwow
I thought I'd got a good deal! Where do you get these bigger discounts?
It all depends on the options you add as the discounts normally aren't affected by them, so the more you add the less as a percentage the discount.
I got 21% off my Cupra 4drive through drive the deal but that would have been 22% without the options. At the time they were offering almost the same amount of discount in cash on all Cupras when i ordered so would of been a larger % on an SC etc

I didn't add any options, just metallic paint. Drive the deal would have been a few hundred cheaper but for that kind of saving I preferred to use my local dealer.
I'm still happy with the price I paid, but next time maybe I should shop around more.
I've had my current car for 12 years (mk3 Ibiza Cupra, owned from new) so if that is anything to go by it may not be for a while though!

Drive the deal - they've been offering some great prices on there for a while, depending on the model/spec you go for.
I'm getting the car on PCP, so I wonder if it would improve the value of the car in 4 years time when it comes to trade it in.
If I'm trading up in 2022, would it look better to have car registered as "2018 - 67 plate" or "2018 - 18 plate"?
Even if it's not a huge amount of money, is it worth getting the dealership to hold onto the car for a few weeks?
Difference between a 17 67 and 18 18 will be around £400 maybe up to £500. Between a 18 67 and 18 18 it drops to £200-£300 as a rule of thumb.
Interesting, thank you! Even £200-300 isn't to be sniffed at I guess
It's going to depend on when the car arrives and if my patience can hold out. It's look like end of Jan/early Feb, and given i'll have waited 6 months already a few more weeks won't hurt

I got 26% discount off the basic price, also through a broker, just a different one. I think basic price of my 1.8Tsi FR 5 door before I added any options was £22,300 retail and I got it for 15,905.
Got it today! So that's a total of 20 weeks from ordering to delivery.
I will upload some proper pics soon.
Just an update: had an email a couple of weeks ago saying that my build week of 48 was still unconfirmed so decided to email again this week to see if had been confirmed yet as week 48 is next week. Had a reply to saying that the car was already built and in transit so should be with me before Christmas!! Happy days
Well got the phonecall at 5pm - mine arrived at the dealer today!!
I've put my plate on retention and emailed them the ref number so hopefully by 6pm tomorrow I'll have it in my posession!
Just downloaded the android auto app too.
Can't wait!

Ordered end of September - but the dealer managed to change one they had on order for stock to my spec - I've no idea how long they'd had it on order though.

An update on mine, Originally told 22-24 weeks (ordered 25th August). After contacting SEAT UK i was given an unconfirmed build week of 47, yay only 13 weeks from order. Just talked with the dealer to see if it was built last week and good news again its left the factory and is on route with it expected to be at the dealers in two weeks.
If all goes well i should be picking up the car after circa 16 weeks so 6-8 weeks better than estimate, hopefully the delays on CUPRA's are reducing
