"Customer-tagged orders taken before 31 October will be price-protected against a VAT increase if production delays prevent the vehicles’ registration before 31 December 2009, so you and your customers can place orders in October with confidence."
This is an extract from our SEAT Central intranet system which only dealers can log into.
New leather seat machine...........................priceless, when I showed the guys here that one they almost pee'd themselves!!!
If you're not getting concise information from your dealer simply ask him to show you the CONFIRMED build week on his VOT system, it will show as Actual and Planned build weeks, delivery is usually about 4 weeks from Actual date. If the car doesn't have these dates on the system it means its still on the waiting list and according to our latest bulletin from SEAT will be built late December or early January.

Hi all!
Reading all your posts is leaving me very worried! I ordered an FR CR in the middle of september and was told end of November delivery because of the options, but had no confirmation since - does anyone think this is going to happen?
I don't want to sell my golf yet if its not, but i don't want to spend any more on it!
thanks

My Cupra took 12 weeks from order but as previously posted, I would e mail them and ask for confirmation. My existong car started to incurr cost due to the delay (insurance costs) which the dealer covered). Deleivery dates always have the commercial caveat associated with LT which does not make them liable, however, they still generally respect customer satisfaction, so if you incurr costs against a delievy commitment, then I would ask them to cover them.
Read my previous post, do as I suggest and you'll know for sure whether you're being strung along or not.
this thread gives me no hope at all !!
I placed and order for a facelift Leon Cupra on the 30th Oct. Dealer said it wont be arriving for around 12 weeks. Im ok with that, but if people are being told the wrong times and are being strung along, god only knows when ill receive it !! just hope theres no delays !

Picked up a spare part from the dealer today, talking generally due to SEAT SPA decreasing production and laying people off (due to recession) factory ordered cars with fitted options are being quoted at 18 - 20 weeks delivery period.
I think you were probably talking to a spare part as well as buying one! The factory lead times have increased due to record demand especially in the UK and German markets, SEAT have actually taken on more staff and upped production but still are struggling to keep up with orders however, if you're wondering where your car is just do as I suggested and ask your dealer to show you on VOT (but do it quickly as this system is closing down next week to make way for a new ordering and tracking system) speculating about where you car is without asking the dealer is pointless, if he has nothing to hide then he'll be pleased show you, keep you involved and use this as an opportunity to build a rapport with you. If on the other its a faceless internet transaction, "you paid yer money yer take your chance!".
For an order placed on the 31st October I was quoted January for delivery seems Seat is in line with many manufacturers, the last two BMW 1ers I ordered from the factory took 8 and 10 weeks, when getting a lead time for a 118d Coupe I was quoted 14 weeks. Not sure if it is demand or production lines being slower. Some models are in demand and some are in less demand as people generally downsize.
On buying a new stock car from dealer stock from the 19th November Seat and VW will use a central stock system. Where if a car has been in stock at a dealers for more than 30 day's it becomes national stock and any dealer can order it from any other dealer without a problem or the dragging of heels with dealers not wanting to loose prime stock.

The lead in times does depend on the factory fitted options that you order. My personal experience with the local dealer is that lead in times quoted, after placing the order, have always been bettered and myself and my wife both have ordered SEAT cars, with factory fitted options, from the same dealer. I have always kept in constant contact with the dealer to ensure updates on the delivery dates.
