Spoke to SEAT yesterday - still unconfirmed week 46. It should've been confirmed by now though, 4 weeks before apparently. The order has been accepted by the factory which had changed since last week. However, the lady reckons it might even be a February delivery. Told to call back for an update next week.
February!? Swear they just make it up.
Email received from SEAT Customer Car quoting -
'Unconfirmed build week of week 49, week commencing 4 December 2017, but this date may come forward'
Thats moved foreword from BW7/2018 which I got quoted a month ago
Have Seat given an indication as the reason for the hold up? Is it the options or additional siesta's? Im looking to order a cupra st with SS, winter pk and ACC aiming for September delivery. I'm thinking I need to order in Jan to have a faint glimmer of hope for September delivery.
Yes the delays are very annoying.
I wonder whether the situation will improve slightly as people hold back for the new virtual cockpit, but then gets worse again as everyone bang their orders in on BW 2?
So my dealership called me back - they've spoken with Seat UK and the confirmed build week is Week 2 with delivery late January, potentially early February.
The build week is 24 weeks from order, with the delivery potentially being 27-28 weeks.
I was basically given two choices - stick with it or cancel the order. The dealership nor Seat seem willing to do anything to try and make the situation any better, which I half expected.
Really don't know whether to stick with it or cancel and get myself a Golf GTD on lease which will arrive in 2 weeks time
