I'm now awaiting an update from my Cupra dealer about a car I didn't expect would happen. I was told(this week) that IF I took the leather/elec seats and the Top View camera I could have it built in Week 3/4 in January so have it by late February. I have commited in cash(not much) to a Tucson(€200). I was meant to get a Seat/VW 2k dealer contribution(if registered by the 28th February) and if he can commit to that 2k(as the two new parts would be 1,400 in Euro extra) and he kept the 2.9% instead of 6.9% then I'd jump ship. There is no chance they will do that, I can see them giving me the 2k but getting the bank to commit to 4% lower APR is quite unlikely. It's a Formentor...............................it's so pretty and in Ireland has a much better spec than the Tucson if it is smaller. Only two of us in the house anyway.
1st world problems but frankly as people in this thread are buying cars I might get less grief(still some grief) having such a choice to make. I told a friend at the weekend over a pint that I didn't know which car I would like to ordered both and was told "pity about you".
2022.. surely the year I finally get my new car!!
Finally got my car yesterday after 10 months, all happened very quickly.
Like it a lot, spent about 2 hours sat in it last night going through the many, many pages of settings and think ive got it how i want it now.
I got an Ultimate MHEV Htrac in dark Knight.
Averaging 32mpg over 120 miles so far, so it almost matches the Octavia VRS tdi (40mpg) i traded in for fuel costs, given the price difference in fuel. Hopefully see a few more mpg out of it as it runs in too.

At long last….. I kept asking my dealer “Any info”?. I always got the same reply “Nothing”!
Yesterday, two weeks later I sent them an email…… Turns out not only has it been given a VIN number, not only has it completed build, not only has it been transported to the UK but the vehicle is awaiting transporter to the dealer.
Expected date at the dealer 18 January.
That works out at 8 months from place of order to delivery…… Fair enough but I’m bloody annoyed the dealer never had any updates…… or did they!!!

Just imagine if they were updating every customer to each of those points, its similar with things like moving house, bonkers if you updated people every step of the way when it makes absolutely no difference to the timescale. But I understand your frustrations, it should all be automated info to customer.Beards wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 11:58 am At long last….. I kept asking my dealer “Any info”?.

Yes….. I don’t need a page by page movement, but there’s a massive difference from always being told ‘Nothing’ to all of a sudden it is here…. And I even needed to ask that simple piece of info!XADE wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 12:13 pmJust imagine if they were updating every customer to each of those points, its similar with things like moving house, bonkers if you updated people every step of the way when it makes absolutely no difference to the timescale.

I appreciate dealers are always looking at their next target figure but at the very least have someone who can keep a customer in the loop.

Tech pack is no longer available according to others looking to buy. I think to 2024 face-lift has mixed up the product specs.
