Another update now at dealer in the UK being prepped. 2 1/2 weeks earlier than expected.. So I think delays are definitely starting to improve.

Wow, just found earlier post!.... I hope you get good news soon.

Joss, when did you place the order, and what's the spec. and which dealer? / or Lease company

I think it's down to transport issues and logistics. The Big dealers get full car transporter loads and the smaller ones have to share loads. If you were the company delivering to UK dealers from UK ports, one full car transporter to one dealer destination is so much more profitable than multi drops. So stack the rest until you have a full load to one dealer or two dealers at most. Skoda pay all transport cost from factory to dealership so probably paying rock bottom rates to hauliers and shipping, so they have to make the best of it... Probably part of the riddle... Chips, covid and demand make up the rest of the riddle as to why some unlucky buyers have to wait ridiculous times for delivery.... Or you've ****ed on a bishop 🤔

Suits me to lease as this is my next company car and will have 80000 miles put on it in 4 years ! I could buy myself and charge to the company but does not suit me personally to own a car after 4 years with 80 k on it . its a personal choice I suppose. A lot of people will also Lease purchase with a final balloon payment to own the car outright or just renew the lease for another new car

Hi all, just an update on this topic... Ordered a 1. 4 TSI iV vRS dsg estate in metallic race blue with winter pack, electric tail gate, virtual pedal, dynamic indicators. Through a lease company ordered 28th June just been confirmed at Port and delivery due to dealer by 31st Dec.. So I make that 6 months and 1 week. Had 4 push backs on the delivery date from originally being told 1st Sept delivery. Have received Registration and finance documents. I really hope for all of you still waiting that your vehicles arrive here soon.
