MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[The Daily Meme]

Lux Estate (Magnetic Grey, no options), ordered 12th September, apparently confirmed build week of next week (41)

Maybe you have one of the cupra ST’s many people have cancelled due to the huge wait times...

 

[jamesc]

No idea! I would assume that a cancelled order would just get removed from the queue and bump everyone up a spot. I know it's going to be landing in Sheerness, and that it's build week 41 so hopefully won't take too long to get to the dealer so I can pick it up.

Anyone care to share what deals they had on an ST Cupra ?

Good to see this. Hope this is the first of many.

What model/spec/colour?

White Cupra Lux hatchback - no extras or anything else etc, just Lux pack. Ordered around 14th July...

How long has it taken people for their car to go from factory to UK? Dangerously close to Brexit!

Brexit permitting I’m hearing 4-5 weeks following build week

That's fine but I guess depends on any import fees.

According to the government, it’s looking like 10% import duty

I think anyone with a build week of this week or next week should be okay, at least assuming that they're using the ship pegasus ace (as seems to be the case historically), which will probably arrive in Spain in a weeks time and leave a few days later, and about a week to get to the UK.

I hope you’re right as my BW is apparently this week!!

Not necessarily, there will still be 100s of cars already waiting at the port ready to board onto the transport ships so no guarantees if its taken to port now it will be boarded, this was the case i had with my car anyway

Wow more BW when I ordered way before called today still no BW latest update was for December but today they said November delivery.

I must just be unlucky or have a niche order, all I added was sunroof and lux

Has anyone actually got a MY20 Lux yet? I've seen European versions with copper badges and bucket seats but not yet in the UK. Except for the R models obviously.

There’s a blue demonstrator at Seat Worcester

Ordering soon for delivery April 2020.
What happened to the heated washer jets ? It’s sketchy on Spec. Bucket seats are the only heated ones now ?

Someone got too much rope deleting features from the original winter pack to cost cut and pay for the uplift in the (heated) buckets.

But buckets are cheaper than leather as an option so that's not the reason. Buckets cost around €500 less to spec as an option in Spain. So they cut costs all round while the customers perception is the value went up. Clever move.

If you think about it they have to use leather upholstered rear seats and the door panel parts in leather as well as leather upholstered front seats, one electric too, for the leather option. With buckets they just use two different seats up front and the rest of the car is the same so it also differs less from the standard Cupra when constructing the car.

I see what you’re saying. I would add that leather is a known rip-off option and is overpriced. Is it even leather?

Seems then, that they’ve revisited the margin aspirations of these vehicles and have stripped a little spec to save a few euros. A normal thing for any manufacturer to do. Just a bit annoying if it leaves me with a filthy screen in winter.
