Leon FR ordered (+ factory build Qs)

Hi guys,

finally put my order in for a new MY08 Leon FR TDI last weekend [B)] This forum has been very useful while choosing my spec, I've gone for black magic (lots of washing needed but worth it), 18" alloys and the bluetooth pack. Managed to get well over £2k off list price after shopping around so well pleased.

I've been reading that the factory shuts down for a bit in August, is it shut for the whole month? Dealer says the order has already been accepted so what are my chances of getting it built before the factory closes?

thanks

if its definitely a factory order, and the order has only just been accepted, i would guess the chance of it being built before the shutdown is extremely slim at best. sorry.

Managed to get it for £16500 otr with mats. Thought it was a very good price since the prices have just gone up and its a local dealership.

No trade in, selling my old car privately. Have you got any quotes yet Nick? I'd of thought you should be able to get that spec for around £16300.

I'm awaiting the seat dealer too come back to me, I went in on Saturday with my current car, and said I wanted the best possible price to change, was hoping for around the £5k mark....

However seeing the quotes you've managed to get I wonder if I'd be better off selling privately and shopping around?

Nick, I'm tempted. White or Silver again...

Maybe in November when my insurance is up for renewal. Need xenons though.

Ordered mine at Nidd Vale Seat in Harrogate. When I was shopping around some dealers insisted they couldn't do much more than £1k off, one quoted me £17700.

Got a call from the dealers earlier. My FR is being built next week (build week 31) and should be ready for collection mid-September.[B)]

Thats good! Paid £16,700 with con pack and 18" wheels

with metallic? If so, then thats £550 difference for the wheels and convenience pack, £16250 + £550 = £16800 so surely you got a better deal? Either way, its good, right? :)
