Just to clarify you have +6 next to 1.5 TSI EVO, and +10 next to the FR Sport, does that mean +16 weeks or +10 weeks for the combination of the two.
I believe Scrogg has said in the past:
I actually get conflicting answers to this one from SEAT, which is why I have stopped adding that note at the bottom of each post...

Logically, if a car with a 10 week lead time is ordered with an option with a +4 week delay then it becomes a 14 week car. If an identical car with a +6 week option is ordered at the same time it becomes a 16 week car. But, according to SEAT's maths, if an identical car with both the +4 week and +6 week options is ordered at the same time it becomes a 20 week car. Which makes absolutely no sense!

I want to say @admac21's order is +10, but don't quote me on it

I ordered an Ibiza FR 1.5TSI EVO week 20, and still have no confirmed build week. The dealer told me that they will start to build 1.5TSI Ibizas week 48-49, so my delivery is going to be earliest in January....

Exact same situation I'm in, very frustrating

Ordered my car in July, went to speak to the dealer (only one here in Malta), apparently my build date has been moved to "earliest february" :'( My heart aches for my 1.0 115 DSG Ibiza Xcellence :( Med Blue

If you order a model with a 10 week lead time, with a +4 week lead time option AND and +6 week lead time option, then the total lead time is the longer of the two, not combined. So total lead time to arrival at dealer is 16 weeks, not 20.

So the lead times indicate when it should be at the dealers? I thought they were the time between the factory accepting the order, and it going to build.

Lead time is from when order accepted by factory to arrival at dealer

I’m looking at a cupra st when I rang the aldershot dealer they said that orders for this will re-open at the end of October as this is when it will have completed wltp certification.

Don’t suppose anybody else has asked this question at a dealer near them?

Production has stopped and there is a huge tailback of orders many have been waiting since January and February. I believe it does re-open for order soon but you'll probably be waiting a long time.

Just had a phone convo with SEAT customer services, my car has been at the UK port for a couple days. Anyone know how long it takes to get to the dealers? I'm getting impatient knowing it's almost here lol

Probably a week minimum, once you get it though, post pictures and if its a cupra let us know what gearbox/extra spec you may have received haha

I've been told 3 to 4 weeks.

EDIT: Read it wrong it's 3 to 4 weeks from Spain. Not UK.
