How long after your build date did you receive your Leon Cupra? Mine is set for 09/06/19, so only 4 weeks, but I expect that to be at least 8 weeks by the time I get it. Sound about right?

Hmm slightly confusing. Im guessing they have pre-ordered cars then for me to have a provisional build date already. I only ordered the car last week. I suspect this might be the case since its a lease, not a direct purchase.

If you're lucky you may get it on a 69 plate haha, when the 290s were on lease for £131 a month I ordered one in June for 12 week delivered, didn't get it until 2 days before Christmas

That would be a huge problem because I need the car before the end of
August. The lease company said they were due stock in late/end July, so I'm guessing they have been pre-ordered. There is no option I can choose for the car, only colour, and they are limited in number for each colour.

Yeah would make sense that they've ordered a batch if you can't select options etc

I was, that car went back in October when I took delivery of an audi s4 Saloon, paying over double on that at £280 a month but that also includes about £50 a month in options

Where are you getting these banging deals if you don’t mind me asking?

My 300 goes back in September.

You need to know what deposit was paid before knowing how cheap the £131 per month actually was...

For info I had a 290 Cupra ST Black Edition on a 6+23 @ £240 inc VAT - the ST was a little more than the hatch.

I usually float around sites like national vehicle solutions and freedom contracts etc when I have about 6 months left, s4 deal was deal of the day on national vehicle solutions, booked a test drive at audi and they agreed to match it if I signed there and then, deposit for the 290 was £2000 making it £5k over the 2 years, deposit on the s4 was 3k making it £9400 over the 2 years but it is a 48k car would have been about £50 a month cheaper if I didn't spec it how I have

That was a good deal. I got mine for 3+23 @ £265 inc VAT

It’s slim pickings just now out there. Seen a Megane RS280 6+23 @ £284 through Arnold Clark.

The S4 is a hole lot of car I’d love one!

Thank you. That does imply the lease company pre-ordered the cars, since normal lead time seems to be about 12 weeks. Mine looks like it will be nearer 8 or 10, if the cars are delivered 4 weeks after build.
