Cupra Centres

[Maypack]

Which dealers are going to be Cupra Dealers

I’ll start with B&H Motors, Workington, Cumbria

Caffyns Tunbridge Wells have been posting sponsored posts on Facebook saying they have an Ateca Cupra so I’m assuming they will be one too

I would image they will all become Cupra Dealers. Just a single slot in the showroom with different brinding. Defeats the object of the separation of course but I doubt current dealers won't want to be in on the action.

All SEAT dealers can sell Cupra models, but that doesn't make them Cupra dealers apparently.

What a diluted arrangement....................however I am old enough to remember the Spanish Rlding around on donkeys and mules not so long ago, have they progressed?

 

[ElBrillante]

Yes (sometimes)!

DM Keith in York will be a formal CUPRA dealership, they are trying to sell me one.... After we bought the Ateca and I showed an interest they are always reminding me to go in...

Dealers who become Cupra Centres will get priority over non Cupra Centres.

They also will not hold demonstrators of the upcoming Cupra models.

That’s the way my local dealer explained it to me. So for example someone buys a Cupra through a non Cupra Centre, they will get a lower priority of build and delivery than if they bought through a certified Cupra Centre.

Nice way to for big companies to win and the small family dealers to get screwed, once again.

Hi Guys,

I work for SEAT Store Lakeside (not sure if you've heard of us?!) We are a tad different to your traditional dealership. We are based in Lakeside Shopping Centre and have an experience centre where we have a number of models available to Test Drive.

As a massive CUPRA fan I am taking the lead of introducing the CUPRA brand here at lakeside and was wondering if any of you guys who are local would be interested in visiting us when we get our CUPRA Ateca in store and taking a test drive and asking me questions and get your feedback etc.

Let me know what you think

Sam

Not entirely accurate...

They also will not hold demonstrators of the upcoming Cupra models.

They can. Some already do. They're just not obligated to.

That’s the way my local dealer explained it to me. So for example someone buys a Cupra through a non Cupra Centre, they will get a lower priority of build and delivery than if they bought through a certified Cupra Centre.

Erm, no. That bit's not at all true.

 

[Woodsie23]

I agree with all the above as well. We are not a "CUPRA Dealer" but will be getting a demo. We also have stock of the CUPRA Ateca already built and ready for collection. The only real difference between a CUPRA Centre and a normal SEAT dealer is the CUPRA Centre will give you "more of a CUPRA experience". Lead times and everything else are not effected.

Thanks for the Dealer input @Scrogg. I only put up what I’ve been told so that discussions can be had and the truth be found.

Thanks for correcting me.

How much more? Trackday? or is this just hype
Please elaborate

 

[Scrogg]

How much more?

Different coloured tiles, CUPRA branding of a dedicated area of the showroom, CUPRA accessories on display, an obligation to have every model available for test drives, that much more...
