Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
Not really loving the potential news of no Brexit happening and a 10% Tax being applied to new cars imported from the EU .
Wonder where I’d stand with my order placed 3 weeks ago with an eta of July.
No way I’m paying another £3k !!
Thinking about cancelling my order and trying to get my deposit back, before the order has been accepted by the factory.

Why cancel? Has your order been confirmed to having an increase? What would you do other wise...?
Personally, i would just ride it out as i don't see any confirmation from SEAT about 'X' orders being slapped with a 10% rise.
I could just be panicking and it might never happen, but today a ‘No deal’ got a hell of a lot closer !!!
Just read the T’s and C’s on the order form and it states..
“Purchaser shall be bound to pay any amount of car tax and value
added tax or other tax or duty that the seller has legally become boundto pay, notwithstanding any amount specified on the order form”
VW have already released a statement stating that any increases will be passed to the consumers

0808 522 2222 is the number for SEAT, then choose option 7.
I just called and my car is now in Grimsby getting covered in seagull poo, and is awaiting transport to the dealership. Should be at the dealer on Monday
Got my lease company to find out my SLI number then will give them a call. Doubt mine is even built yet but...
My Cupra is currently getting built this week, will give them a call next week for an update.
Mine had a confirmed build week last week of February. Called Seat today with my SLI and they said its on the dock at the EU port being shipped out tonight. Should be with the dealership in 7 to 10 days. Does that sound realistic?
It's taken 2 weeks to go from the factory to the port and then only 10 days from Spain to York

Mine was built BW8 (wc 18th Feb) and has only just been confirmed as being on a ship that's currently moored at Sheerness. From there to Grimbsy I've found it takes a day from historic data.
SEAT told me it would take 7/10 working days from docking at Grimbsy to get to dealer, not from Barcelona, so i would take that estimate with a pinch of salt, as its been 3 weeks
they did say before it was a 3-4 week trip from build week to destination port.From taking up a new hobby of ship watching, ( a "gongoozler" according to Google...), i would say your car will be on the Aquarius Ace, as that left Barcelona today.. so fingers crossed!

New ST4drive arrived at 3pm, old ST 290 Black Edition left @ 3-30!
Despite a couple of bad kerb marks on 1 rim, no damage report was needed - apparently only if the spokes are damaged do they bother charging so just 200 ish miles excess to pay (£12!).
New one arrived dirty and the fuel light flashing - apparently dealer didn't fuel it before pick-up so they are refunding me £25.
No badge at all on my transmission tunnel - no Cupra or 4 drive!!
One query - anyone know what the most up to date nav version is please?
Out in the car tonight so will post first thoughts overnight.

I forgot to add, that the issue of the split seat trim was also not discussed or mentioned in the Condition Report - wonder if VWFS have told BCA to ignore this as its obviously a manufacturer issue?
First impressions - better throttle response, much improved traction when accelerating (as would be expected), faster to national speed limits (but would expect 2wd to be catching me after), heated seats are crap compared to my old car (perhaps because of leather?), headlights appear to be improved, very linear acceleration as if the lag has been mapped out, the auto-handbrake is inconsistent and requires driver intervention to activate at times and Start-stop hasnt reared its ugly head yet.
Anyone help with my nav version query? the SD card has the following reference: 6PO.919.866.AF?
After ordering on 25th October '18, my 5 door Cupra 290 DSG in Magnetic Grey is due to be delivered a week today ! I could have had it 2 weeks ago but resisted the urge so that there was no overlap and additional insurance with my existing car.
One question for anyone who has taken delivery recently.......any sign of a Winter Pack or Heated Seats on the non Lux version ? My initial order stated that the vehicle would have the Winter Pack as a standard option but I understand that it then became an optional extra around the time that I placed the order so I'm unsure either way ? I won't hold my breath but am secretly hoping that mine has crept through with the Winter Pack as promised ?
