I’d wait for the 72 (if it arrives before then - mine took 5 weeks from leaving the factory to delivery at the dealership…before they then have to PDI it). I know you’ve waited a looooong time but if you only have it a couple of weeks before it becomes “the old reg” then I think you’ll be miffed. Plus there’s the value to think of.

That’s hilarious! Did they ever imagine you’d say yes!? No idea what difference it makes to their carbon footprint.

It’s like backing an outsider at a horse race (no offence intended; quite the opposite) and willing them to win/get your car

Yeah that’s not too bad. Hopefully yours arrives soon!

@AntDhow did your Monday update go?

So have they completely rescinded on your 0% deal you signed up to? I was thinking it is probably the reason many ancient orders are not being built. What have they moved you to? It’s currently 5.9%

Try Dean Nichols on FB, he seems to be everyone’s dealer of choice. He works where I bought my car at Marshall’s Oxford but I’ve never bought from him, just met him a few years ago when I was looking for my first Kodiaq. He seems nice.

Have you ever been given an SLI number? Find a friendly dealer and they can help you out with what’s what.

Got that call today… “do you want to collect your car tomorrow”… YUP! 🥳 #Kodiaq2 (with a 4 month sabbatical (bad choice of car) ). Picked my reg number and all finance stuff signed ✅ For those waiting and interested in wait times from build week to colllection; Sportline Black Magic with VC & winter pack. Build wk 16 (order already in the system so I’ve no idea when it was ordered). Left Emden a week last Friday, arrived in Grimsby last Monday and then to the dealers tomorrow morning. Quick PDI then collection at 1630.

Like comparing apples and oranges. The Tuscon is a medium family hatchback on stilts. The Kodiaq is a full size 7 seat SUV. I’m glad you’re pleased but I’m surprised something so much smaller fitted your bill.

I really do get all this but how good is a deal on a car if you haven't got the car? I really hope you and Ant get your cars but I cant help but wonder; are they ever going to make it and sell it to you at a price thousands of £££ cheaper than they can sell at now? There must come a point when they just cancel the order. Otherwise why haven't they made them yet? I really don't think they are obliged to go through with an order and can just cancel if they so chose. I know other manufacturers are dropping orders because they cannot fulfil and won't supply when cost of components and manufacturing costs have gone up so much. If this is the case, the longer it goes on means any new car you order is only going to go up in price from now. It's a really bad situation for you both and I hope it is resolved soon.

They look gopping. Enjoy!

That’s going to take you well into the upper tax bracket!

At least you know that somebody somewhere in the factory is going to look at your order. Good news or bad, it should give you a bit more of a clue what’s going on and what their intentions are

Every year there is an MY update mid calendar year. Usually adding (or more likely deleting) features. No significant changes usually. In 2019 for MY20 they changed the Skoda badge at the back to lettering. That kind of thing.

…to be fair, when yours does arrive you’ll probably be paying half what I did. Well not half but a lot less. This will all be a distant memory to you then 🤞🏻

😬

Ahem…6 weeks so far. Stock order car. I know you guys have been waiting significantly longer

Mine left the factory wc 25/04 so I hope mine is also nearing me... only so many times you can chase the dealer without looking needy though :~

I would definitely get hold of the dealer directly. At the moment they have no incentive to push your car through as you aren't anything to them, and paying considerably less than anyone else can order the car for, at the moment.

I really hope if you ever get your Kodiaq you don’t hate is as much as you seem to. At least if one of the many cars you say you’ve ordered turns up first, someone else can jump onto your Kodiaq order and have less of a wait 🤞🏻

Did it get sorted?🤞🏻

Ah. Soz. The lettering on the back is my favourite tweak (appreciate that was an MY20 update).

Facelift? There has been no facelift; that’s due next year.

Not sure you’d have to spec it up. Quite easy to do
