Hi everyone
I ordered my VZ2 310 a couple of weeks ago (UK) and was wondering how long it should take to get a build date?

Have you ordered from a dealer? As there are quite a few available from stock currently at the UK port, no matt colours available though
I ordered a few days ago from stock and should be here in a few weeks

Thanks,that's good to know.
I did order through a special scheme and added the Beats audio, so will probably have to wait for the factory order.

Hi all I am new to this forum and have ordered a Formentor which I am advised has a provisional build date of week commencing 1/5/23, subject to confirmation.

Can anyone advise how far in advance build dates are confirmed, as I am 2 and a half weeks away and yet to have confirmation. Is this normal?

I got confirmation earlier in the week that the car is now built and should be with the dealer 17/4. Keeping my fingers cross given it was not supposed to be built yet!

No, mine was already built before the date they gave me, but now told estimate due at the dealer 23rd and not 17th.

I've just placed an order for a 2.0l 245. The dealer has estimated we will receive it August/September.
Based on the tracker it looks like the estimates are fairly accurate.

Collected my brand new VZ3 on 1st June 23. Ordered on 24th Feb. They said about 13 weeks for delivery (at order) so that was about right - quite impressive really, considering other models and manufacturers taking much longer. (or maybe I just got lucky!)

I tracked the City of St Petersburg cargo ship to Barcelona (on Marine Traffic) when I was told my car arrived at the port then saw it set sail for Grimsby. Asked Seat if my car was on it and they said no, its still showing as Order status 30 in Barcelona Port, "possibly waiting for door handles as they are made in Ukraine so may be another 2 months wait!". Surprise surprise a few days later my car arrived in Grimsby and I collected it a week later from Seat Derby!

Got the Cupra Care 1 Service Plan for £99 - thats the only plan they offer for VZ3 because of the Brembo brakes which is a bit of a cop out!

Love the car, but infotainment system is shockingly awful and almost ruins the car if it wasn't such a joy to drive. Beats audio is terrible too, good sound but not very loud or bassy so not worth the money.

P.s. Came with Cupra car mats too! Seat Derby said "all our cars come with car mats!?".

My V2 I ordered in April has just been given an unconfirmed build date of w/c 4/9/23. Looks like I've drawn the short straw in the build lottery compared to others.
