I have a similar issue. My Superb has been hovering around the week 19/20 build week for a couple of weeks now which is sometime in May. Or I can pick up a nearly new Passat R-Line estate 2.0 bitdi 240 4x4 with approx 4K on the clock with a similar level of kit and led headlights for less than what I am paying for the L&K. I appreciate there is depreciation etc but at least I will have a similar car. Also my S2 L&K is starting to annoy me

Least you have your car! I'll swap a litre of oil for your 280 ;p

Spoke to SCS UK (not the furniture shop although I wonder if I would get it quicker...) this afternoon and mine has moved forward a mighty week from 20 to 19. So at least it is moving in the right direction. Ordered L&K.

Saw a white Superb Estate this morning between J19 and 18 M4 eastbound around 6.50am.

Is that the one that is on autotrader for a tad under £30k I was considering that one but decided to order a new one which had a few more bells and whistles. It's a 4x4 I believe. The two guys I spoke to on the phone seemed decent people,

"1500 – that’s the premium for having four-wheel drive, by the way, the Superb isn’t that philanthropic. So the one that everyone will by, the 2.0 TDI Estate with 148bhp and SE L trim, will set you back £27,820. A lot of car for the money, even if it’s not a fantastically interesting one." I tend to ignore 'experts' who fail to proof read their own copy! He spent too much, time, on, punctuation and not on speeeellling! Everyone will 'by' = buy Anyway with a magazine/website like top gear Skoda is never going to really win them over. I'll just get back to my caravan

If you don't mind me asking what spec have you gone for?

My order which I placed in Dec 2015. This was for an L&K with lots of extras including the sunroof has only just got a unconfirmed build date this week of week 20 which is mid May! So likely to see the car in June. So 6-8 months is realistic based on my experience

Did your dealer tell you this or Skoda CS? When I phoned them they told me that my car didn't even have an unconfirmed build date it was just sat at status 0. However when I spoke to my dealer they suggested it was going to be build week 11 again as unconfirmed. Just for info I have ordered a L&K 2.0tdi 4x4 estate with a lot of extras. Really annoying and I am on the verge of cancelling and ordering an A6 instead which will be here in March,

Well I spoke to Skoda UK Customer Services and they have completely contradicted what the dealer told me last week. Last week I was told it would be unconfirmed week 11 by the dealer. When I spoke to Skoda today they have told me they are having problems with L&K's due to supply issues and that my order is still stuck at status 0 and there is no estimated date. Absolute nightmare. Dealer is meant to be calling me to discuss the situation! Really getting frustrated over this.

Mines a 190 4x4 L&K estate(combi) so that is probably why mine is further delayed compared to yours. Ho hum...

Yep I said it. This is what i was told by my dealer which got this from the factory. Basically they are grouping orders together based on spec and they have said that the L&K's will be built around week 11. I think this might have something to do also with the issue with supplies of the standard L&K 18" Alloys which won't be available until week 11. I asked if I changed the spec of my car would this improve things but they said that my order might get pushed to the back of the queue. So I am going to sit tight

Spoke to the dealer this afternoon and have been told my L&K 4x4 is planned for Wk11. They have said that: - Alloys have been delayed to Wk11 (Pegasus Anthracite 18s) - L&K trim is not selling very well so they are batching orders together - Brown interior with Beige headlining is also delaying things

I ordered mine about a week after you and have not got a build date yet (confirmed or unconfirmed). Have you recieved this information or is it the dealer just giving you a rough idea?

This is what I have ordered, SK SUPERB EST 2.0TDI CR 190 L+K 4X4 DSG In Brown, with brown interior and beige headlining 18" Pegasus anthracite alloys Optional extras: Panoramic sunroof Isofix attachment on front seat Gearshift paddles Towbar with electric swivel function Waste bin door pocket Leather - Brown Backrest release Temporary spare wheel Heated washer nozzles Rear view camera Variable boot floor Sunblind for rear side windows Net partition Travel assist with traffic sign recognition Smart light assist Media Command Premium WLAN Smartgate mobile phone interface Phonebox 5 Year Warranty
