Lots of yellow (en-route/possibly delivered/possibly collected) appearing on the spreadsheet now. More recent orders seemed to be coming out of the factory a lot quicker than what some of us have experienced.

Interesting that a lot of week 5s are on the way to the UK. Seat customer services advised I could call them and they can give me an idea when it will arrive.

The dealer advised to call mid February to pick a registration plate. I may do that this week as I definitely want an 18 plate.

Hopefully this won’t be an issue.

Ours was built a week early. Was confirmed week 5, turns out it was built early week 4.

There's definitely been some improvement on their timings, possibly the withdrawal of the 1.4 150?

I'm in a slightly unique position as I want them to take their time building my 300 Cupra manual - to tie in with the return of my current leased vehicle at start of Aug!

Hi. Two days ago and dealer has agreed to store if turns up early. Can't afford for it to be late!

That's good of them.
My lease should of ended in NOV 17.
I've had to keep hold of it for 4 additional months so far.
We officially started the new process in August too :D

But from cockups on VWFS' side and the news about the digital cockpit being being confirmed the order didn't go in until October and wasn't received until November.

It's been an interesting process.. certainly wiser for 2020.

I suspect ours was on that also. Also a week 4 build. We were told the "the glovis" as the name but the guy was pretty clueless. Would make sense as we were told last week it was in transit.

Do mine myself :) dealer supplied stuff is rubbish and expensive rubbish.

Ah ok, they offered me gardx last time which I took.

What I didn't realize was that once I'd paid I was able to go back to the dealership and they would reapply the maintenance free of charge.

What do you use?

I'm new to all this, do you mean you picked the letters for your plate?
No.

Some dealerships allow customers to choose from a short list of allocated numbers, others just allocate whichever the DVLA system kicks out next.

Hi,

Ordered 29th October, dealer has just told me it's on route to the UK.
Never gave me any more details but assumes it will be here before the months end.
Going to hang on for a March 1st pickup...that a Thursday?

Details: Leon ST 1.4tsi 125, metallic paint, space saver wheel
(Was a week 5 build).
