Ordered my car in October North east England. Cupra Leon vz3 300 midnight black. My dealer wont even respond to my emails. Any ideas when it might arrive?

I ordered a cupra Leon start of October too and last I heard from them last week is that they're hoping everyone ordered from that timeframe and before will have their cars by October.

But now that apparently VW are having issues getting parts out of Ukraine and Russia, I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2023 at this rate.

To be honest I think I'm going to cancel it and buy something else in stock, there's some brand new Giulia's in stock that have taken my eye...

Well just had confirmation mine has now been built and is awaiting transportation, so all being well I may have it within 3 weeks or so!

No way, exactly the same situation, apart from I ordered in August, I ordered an 1.5 130 FR ST, and it's been built awaiting a boat, is that what you meant or awaiting a transporter? what colour did you order?

Build week was last week, dealer said today it’s ‘in transit’ so not sure if it’s on a boat or awaiting a boat. As for colour I went for the blue…

Yeah same as me, I originally ordered the blue but changed to Desire Red. So be interested to see yours! What dealer is yours going to?

I went to place an order for a Leon E-hybrid FR Sport and was told by the local dealer that they couldn't even hazard a guess at a delivery date but it would be at least a year I'd have to wait.

Ended up sourcing one from Marshall's Seat in Leicester some 350 miles away in the spec I wanted. Ok it's not brand new but it was better than the long wait.

Ordered a Leon 1.4FR Sport PHEV back in May '21 as a Company Car. Appreciate these take longer than private purchases, but still heard nothing had a build date of 22/01/2022 then got cancelled with no updates since. Looks like this may be because its a PHEV but no one is willing to give me an answer. Anyone else having a similar experience?

Exactly the same issue. Been told to expect build March 2023. Not in a rush so happy to wait

Silly question, what's the port in Spain, that is used, as I'm following United Spirit and its next call is Santander in Spain, or is it actually the port of Barcelona I need to be looking for (my car is waiting a boat hence the question)

Barcelona, it'll go to Emden in Germany first to a different ship before it gets to the UK.
