Asked again today for an update. Still couldn’t give me an estimated date. Getting ridiculous now.

Car looks great mate, glad you’ve finally got it.

I’ve went the opposite direction and told Leasing Options to cancel my order. My order status has been the same for 7 weeks now with no charge, I can’t wait any longer for my new car. I’m just going to get something cheap to run for a while and potentially wait for the Cupra Born once it’s available

Might be good news for someone if they get on to Luke at Leasing Options, they’ll have a Metallic Grey 300 VZ3 that is built and waiting for a chip.

If any of you guys were told that your car is built and awaiting Shipment there may be a chance to get within 2-3 weeks approx., however custom pack/spec cars may take longer because of the Semiconductor shortage. Seems a lot of us are getting mixed signals, however i just ordered the base line spec Leon, Vz2 hope you all get some feedback just a :poop: when we don't get positive feedback/Vibes

We both might get them at the same same supplier i guess from zen auto but every email i received from them had no mention of any date, but the guy i spoke 2 weeks ago to on the phone did say late october dont know what to believe these days.

Hi Irfan,

Thanks for your email, we do intend to respond within 24 hours.

We are still awaiting notification from our partners that your vehicle is on site and ready to be offered for delivery.

You may or may not be aware of the on-going issues surrounding semi-conductor chips across the motor industry currently, it looks as though your vehicle has been built but unfortunately may be affected as part of the delays and knock-on effects of this meaning that the vehicle being ready for late October can not unfortunately be guaranteed.

Looking at this Is that prior to someone actually speaking to yourself like an Automated Email? I would personally call them to be honest as i got a Similar lengthy email about semiconductors etc until i spoke to someone officially

Might make a few people jealous, nevertheless, I ordered my car in August and got it delivered in September !

I went for a VZ2 300 in magnetic grey, no other extras. Love it, great fun. Plenty of pops and bangs. Though I do miss traffic sign recognition even as dodgy as it can be. Oh well. Hope everyone gets a quicker turn around.

Oh you possibly could have had a late cancellation seems we have a few of these, as for road sign recognition buy yourself a Road Angel Pro :) no need to pay extra for the sake of a £60 2nd hand device :)

Back home with it now nice car but I found touch screen very slow to boot up, also I thought the vz2 came with auto wipers and cruise mine didn't but I got a heated steering wheel. Collection from DM Keith York Cupra was pretty rubbish firstly they gave me it showing 0 miles petrol but assured me some in reserve so I gingerly drove to nearest petrol station, also wing mirror damaged a white scuff line, couldn't leave car so tried to t-cut it off so no noticeable unless looking close, need some touch up paint for mirror which I asked them to post to me. Not a great experience tbh.
It does come with rain sensing wipers.

Looks like they gave you someone's Sloppy Seconds by the Sounds, not sure id still not be too happy and say that you want to book to your nearest SEAT Dealership for repairs. As for the Infotainment System there was a video with someone reviewing this saying that it has a 1 Minute delay upon turn on im sure it requires an update worthwhile also flagging this with the dealership too .
