Accuracy of build estimates
- Thread starter R19
- Start date
Visited dealership today to sign credit agreement etc., picking my new Leon ST Fr up on Friday afternoon! 
Wasn't allowed to see it as the dealer wants to do the whole unvailing thing for me on collection!
He did however tell me that the Tech pack will no longer be a free option from 3rd quarter of this year onwards, quite shocked by this but happy that I was in a position to get it whilst it's free.
Looking forward to Friday now...two more sleeps!

Managed to shift my old motor just in the nick of time! Dropped the price on Autotrader to a 'too good to resist', part-ex busting figure which caught the attention of the buyer who came all the way from the other side of the country to bag it. Can waltz in to the dealer on Friday now armed with a cash deposit knowing that I needn't extend term of contract. Happy days!
I spoke to my dealer on Thursday, just to confirm that the build week is still at Week 20 (this coming week) and how long its been taking for cars to get from factory to dealership.
I was told its taking around and about 3 weeks to get from Barcelona dockside to the dealership, with the majority of that time being land transport when it arrives in the UK.
I have to say, I'm starting to get a little excited!

I spoke to mine on Wednesday to confirm the same.
I think we are quite literally in the same boat ! Haha..
Only downside is reading the MY16 thread and seeing the new models being build from BW22..
This time next month? Hopefully...

To be fair, I'm not overly bothered about the whole MY2016 thing. Yes, the G-Force meter would be awesome, but it probably comes with the risk of looking at that whilst going round corners and wrapping the car round a tree.
As soon as I hear anything I'll keep you posted.
So guys, my car was built in week 17 so does that mean that it should be with the dealer next week or week after that.??
Logically I know the boat drops of in kent, but depends where else and how far dealer is from the that port
Mine was estimated as Week 20 build and got confirmation today it will be built next week (even with standard Cupra seats and wheels)
I'd have liked the bigger nav screen but it seems the rear armrest will only be STs so I still miss out on that (boot hole good for snowboard chugging!)
Although the dealer has offered it me ASAP, I'm still waiting till Sept!

You're not going to be happy Kurje!
I ordered on 31st March and was told Build Week 20 the following week which has now been confirmed.
So possibly 12 weeks from order which suggests all the wheel and seat delays have gone.
I have ordered manual so your delay could be DSG related.
Its build week 20 and the anticipation meant I went looking through YouTube looking for videos of Cupra's, Instead I found this video on the official SEAT youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trqa3Gg63cg
Gives us all a view of our cars final view of the factory, before they are popped onto the train to go to the port.

i made a mistake looking for and finding videos because it resulted in 3 months of torture while i waited
there's an "EXTREME TEST" video taken during the 5F's development in 2013. at the one minute mark i presume they're listening for causes of extraneous noises and rattles. judging by the end result that owners experience i guess they didn't fully understand or complete their remit.
