Yes I'm interested too. Who 'were' you dealing with and why did they cancel? When did you order?

Wolverhampton Seat. They said Dynamic Grey is being replaced by a blue (Alur?) and no more 290 orders until end of November.

Just found receipt and 'contract' for deposit on 10th Sept. Will be reading later as i thought i had entered a contract and it was on the way [:@]

Rang VW finance and i am not set up for the Leon, only current G.

that's what i mean, literally raging earlier when i found out, i was pretty annoyed that my finance documents got f'd up and delayed it a week, but when i get told that it's good news and need to ring then to arrange collection, and then they tell me i can't collect because they don't have enough people working to do a handover, and that i'll have to wait another week until someone can deliver it between 9-5, that really did put the cherry on top of the ****, could of dropped them if there wasn't a phone between us.

I have just received a registered number plate of my cupra! I wasn't given any information but the car was on the Aquarius ace as well which docked last night. Still no pick up date though. Unconfirmed build week 38

Where are you located? I notice that Aquarius ace has moved across the river, wonder if that's to load off more cars or load up for the next journey!

Called the dealer today to see what's going on. Was told that the grey is being discontinued and white being offered instead. Also the system that keeps track on builds has gone to pot. They don't know what car is built, delayed, in the uk. The system
Just updates it's self sporadically in no real order. So the build dates we were issued are pretty much useless. The issue is at the factory and they are in the dark as much as we are. They have got a admin chasing it up to see what's happening with my order. Lucky I'm in no massive rush. But if it's arriving in December, I'd rather collect it in January. New Reg is then ain't it?

All the lease deals have ruined Seat haha apparently they have 750 still in the system I read on another forum, so suffering they only had about 100 registered in the U.K. Up until August demand has hit them hard

This makes a lot of sense as my dealer said the info he had on the system hadn't updated since he contacted me mid September.

I was getting worried that something had gone tats up with just my order only.

Finally got my build week for my 290 ST after ordering on 2nd Aug - BW47. May just be able to pick it up before Christmas if I'm lucky... Seems the 12-14 week estimate went well out of the window!

Has the dealer mentioned that this will be facelift ? Unless FL has been pushed back to WK49
