After that post I’ve contacted by the dealer I ordered with (Seat Ashford) and he told me build week 21, to which I said I’ve already spoken to Seat directly and they told me 23.
He then pretended he got me mixed up with another customer and agreed it was still provisional week 23.
At this point I thought F-it and asked for my money back on the deposit £1k.
He said he can’t give it me as Seat will charge him still, and the car will still be built and shipped to him regardless.
My response was that can’t be true as it’s not even a confirmed build yet.
He waffled on about a ‘de-tag’ charge and was taking BS I’m sure.
On Monday I will ring Seat directly again and see if anything has changed re getting a confirmed build week, and ask them about what the dealer told me re the deposit.
In the meantime my local Seat dealer are saying they will physically have a
Cupra R ST with them middle of June latest. Sadly it’s £9k more than the Deal I may or may not be getting on the Lux ST.
So basically still up in the air.....
