SEAT Leon Factory Order - How long did you wait??

[MUFFIN]

As most on here now know, I've placed a factory order for a K1
Irfan told me i'd have to wait upto 12 weeks.

Question is:

Should I expect the car sooner or is 12 weeks accurate??
Some people have had to wait much longer
How long did you wait for your factory order?

12 weeks for the one that was built wrong and 10 weeks for the replacement (which I should pick up tomorrow)

 

[CoMMy]

mine took 9weeks friend brand new order

Dealer said 12-14weeks to be exact though O_O

 

[Sooty torques]

I was told 12 weeks too - standard time quote for factory orders. Actually took 11 weeks, so a slight improvement...

Be patient - it's worth the wait!

 

[Rampage]

About 10-12 weeks both times.
Bear in mind yours might take longer though, as apparently they put the bodykit on in this country.

 

[LeonMunkee]

My FR TDi took exactly 10 weeks, and the dealer quoted 12 weeks.

I ordered one that was already allocated to the dealer and in the order process waiting to be built.

They were due to get the car a month later and I was going to take delivery about 10 days after that as I was actually on holiday when they expected it be ready.

I rang up 3 days before my holiday and was told my car has been delayed by a month as there was a delay at the factory.

In the end they apparently sourced me another car of the same spec, which I took delivery of only a week after I was supposed to get the original car.

So I would say upto 12 weeks if there are no delays, but a delay at the factory could push it out longer.

11 weeks for me.

I wonder if that was when there was a fire at the factory last year .... hrmm

I ordered my Cupra at the end of March 2007 and it was delivered to me on 6th September 2007. I could have had it a month or 2 earlier but the car would be worth a little less at the end of my PCP scheme. plus it now means I'll be getting a '60' reg!!

Ordered first week of January, delivered last Saturday = 10 weeks. Not bad all in.

I looked into the used price difference between plate changes when mine was delayed as they said my original car would be available mid August. I checked the difference in value used on a 2 year old Cupra R (the nearest equivalent to a Mk 2 Cupra) and it was something like £500.

I was prepared to take a car up until the end of July, but not in August. Luckily they managed to source the one that I have now. Otherwise they had agreed to let me register it in September under the same deal.

i have also been told 12 weeks so that puts it first week in june so i hope it comes then. But saying that i am away on holiday until the 24th may so if its 11 weeks it might be here when i get back.

Factory ordered 06 TDI Sport with Bi-Xenons, Sat Nav, CD Changer. 12 weeks for delivery to dealer. Then another 4 weeks wait due to the PDI centre not being happy with the handbrake and requesting modified parts for it!!! Was far from a happy bunny I tell ya

Similar situation here - dealer was cagey about the value of my car in 3 months' time but there's no way I'd sign an order form without a confirmed trade-in value.

I ordered mine in Mid July and took delivery early October

Mainly depends on the options you ordered. If you didn't order many then a group stock car would suffice. Then they'll bung the K1 kit on.

I ordered same car as youze
Can't wait!
