It’s a long wait, a frustratingly long wait, but I think it’s worth waiting for. Had a chat with the salesman at my dealer this afternoon, and he was saying that there’s dates and stuff all over the place at the moment. Almost as if it’s random. Luke’s spreadsheet may back that up.
Even getting demos is becoming an issue, and the 150tsi backlog has become such a ‘thing’ that SEAT are keen to get orders for the 125tsi - but the tendancy is that if you’re looking at an FR 1.4 then you’ll be looking at a 150, not the 125. Dealer hands are tied and they know just about as much (if not less) than anyone else. Majority of people won’t mind hanging on but the lack of info is the main problem.
But I can confirm it IS worth hanging on for. Today, SIX MONTHS after order - to the day - this arrived:
I think if you are able to hang on, there’s nothing else as good in terms of looks or value for £.
That looks awesome! Same colour as what I’ve ordered.
I spoke to SEAT again yesterday, my unconfirmed date has now slipped to week 49
. So I’ve gone from week 44, to week 48 then back to week 46 now I’m at week 49. Who knows which week it’ll be. They are currently confirming orders for week 47, hence why FNeves has bee confirmed.
I expressed my frustration at the whole issue and the guy on the phone has escalated it but opening a case which will trigger a customer service manager to call me Monday/Tuesday. He mentioned stuff like goodwill etc. Maybe pushing my luck but I’m going to see if they’ll pop a set of 18s on instead of the standard 17s, keeps me happy and if the 17s are delaying things it may sort the delay out as well. We shall see, I’ll keep you all updated.
