MK3 SEAT Leon CUPRA's owner's register

[Kirky]

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.

Yes it's leather but they've ditched Alcantara and use unbranded now. Not sure why they call it a Lux still when bucket seats and microsuede are more track orientated than lux items. They should have changed the name from Lux to something more sporty.

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.

Does it stop in Portugal?

Changed the name after they changed what the Lux included? Before they started fiddling with it, the Lux was more like a Lux.

Would you rather have a Cupra Plus or Cupra Sport?

I believe it does stop in portugal, and they should have the Cupra as the standard model then the Cupra Cup Racing Edition as the "premium" model

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

That would definite be a cancel for me if that's the case.

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

I imagine they will try and get as many in before Brexit as possible though.

I'm all ordered and they have said 12 weeks

If you are ordering it now, you can probably expect to receive delivery in December/January. Yet to see anyone that has ordered in September get a build week that would allow for an earlier delivery.

That's what I'm saying Lux loosely fit the previous model but now it doesn't make much sense. But I found nothing with SEAT and their specs make sense.

Anyone expecting a cupra to be delivered soon? My original date at dealers was 16th October but this has been pushed back till the 18th (no big deal) just wondering if anyone knows of any reason for further delays.

Not sure.

Interestingly, last week on Auto Trader there were 8 Cupra ST for sale (not Lux model). Now there are 24!! Looks like dealers have been buying in bulk especially Letchworth Seat!! They are advertising the cars are available now so beat the wait! Could this be the cause of the delays I wonder if other dealers are doing the same?

Ordered a Cupra Lux with the sunroof on the 26th September. Added the driving assistance pack on the 4th October. Got an email immediately saying the dealer has confirmed my order. Received an email yesterday with my SLI number and expected delivery of March but apparently Seat expect that to be pushed forward as they have a “new way of reporting”. Hopefully I’ll have it by Jan/Feb

The Autotrader dealers seem to be bumping the price up significantly from factory orders though. About £6k more expensive, even the 2nd hand nearly new cars are more expensive than a new factory order.

Good news. Or possibly bad news. Who knows. Just hurry up.

eeek.. Mine is due to be built on 16th October, I hope it is built in those few days and makes it to Pegasus for the 23rd in the hope it gets in before Brexit.... Or am I a bit too hopeful there??

My thoughts - It spends almost a week in production and a few days in transit to the port. I would say it’s unlikely to make that vessel. Although I do hope I’m wrong.

This most probably will apply to you guys/girls who are awaiting cars. It certainly affected me back in March, my car became 'lost' at the UK port. They basically couldn't find it as the logical holding pattern become swamped.
