Delivery Dates For Octavia Vrs

[Tony Ramsdale]

phoned dealer up today they said week build 47 and hoping to get car end of december

[JR RS]

Your sheet is very useful to see if there is a pattern around build schedule, having looked at all your sheets, the therory arounc batches of cars being dne by colour, goes out the window, there is a pattern go gear box, although i suspect a larger sample of orders would be needed to see any pattern.

Like most people I am curious to find out reason why build weeks change ?

yes, a large sample is needed.

these figures r only based on the info provided here....of delayed orders.

ideally we need to hear from the success stories too, so we can get an accurate pattern.

despite wat others think.......i still believe vag is giving priority to vw & audi orders, over skoda orders.

Brill you now know what to xpect build week

Call SUK or dealer Week before build you have been quoted, they can definately confirm that it is going to be built, if correct you should take delivery late week 49 or end week 50.

Finally a bit of good news! now wk 47. If it stays like this, then due at dealers wk 51.

Wonder if it will be 2011 reg, or will Skoda UK insist car registered in 2010? I will probably be taking a loan car from wk 44, as I have a px. Seat did this to me with my current car,even though it was stuck at the docks in uk due to fog, until Jan 07.

Back to wk 48 - Lets see what this week brings!

[dunclane]

Just had email update, my car has come forward from week 50 to week 48!

[Darrenb3843]

Update

Silver VRS that you have as week 44, is a manual, & build week is now 46 same as DSG one ( unless it gets changed within the next 2 weeks )

[kevberlin]

Update to my silver VRS CR DSG Estate shown on the list. I ordered it 26 June. Today I have confirmed build week of !st November (week 44).

[teebee]

Back to wk 48 - Lets see what this week brings!

VRS CR DSG Hatch Race Blue (f/r parking sensors / auto lights / bluetooth muti function s/wheel / mdi / spare wheel)

My build date went from week 44 to wk 38 then 41 / 42 to wk 43, 44, 45, 48, 50,47,48

Now lost for words - build has gone back to wk 1 Jan boo hoo. Ordered wk 23 - That`s 5 wks back in 2 weeks = 34 wks

I thought I could almost reach out and touch it, then they take it away again. Beyond a joke

What next?

Is this a Fabia or Octy then ?

[Darrenb3843]

I was just about to ask the same lfc. Will leave it off the table until I get update.

[talyllyn]

Octy, decided I need something bigger.......I am PX'ing my current Fabia 2 in the deal (Which I bought under finance).

Sorry for the confusion, was not particularly clear in my post

Latest for my vRS CR DSG Hatch, Race Blue with blueteeth, auto lights, spare wheel, rear park - ordered 14th August - originally build set for week 44, then moved to 45, now moved to late December/early January.

Dealer (Progress Skoda, Bedford) whilst not best at letting me know - I have to phone them - are at least sticking with the agreed p/ex price and not trying to do the extra 2.5% VAT trick if delivered in January.

Actually quite feel for the dealer because they are constantly having to give bad news to people and it appears SUK aren't giving them any news as to why the dates keep changing. Seen mention of a pecking order for the engine/DSG within VAG, and this must be the issue, as the dealer says usually they know how fast they can build cars and when they give a build week that is when it is built. Makes sense to me anyway :no:

Oh well, roll on 2011!!

[Darrenb3843]

Re the 2.5% vat increase I got a letter saying that as long as you pay for the car within two weeks of it in the uk there is no extra vat to pay so dont worry. Best of all as well if you can hold out till March it will be an eleven plate.

Come on lets have more cars added.

I bought my VRS from Progress Bedford last year. I had the same concerns with the VAT going from 15% to 17.5%.

They honoured the sale price at 15% VAT even though I took delivery in January this year when VAT was 17.5%. In effect SUK absorbed most of the extra VAT cost.

Got great service from the dealer even if I had to chase up their sales admin on build dates

If you think that is a strange one, I ordered mine begin of Sept same spec as Talyllyn - Anthracite, Hatch, Manual, same options with a current build week of 50! So, for what could only have been 10 to 14 days after ordering mine, thats an extra 2 months! Beginning to think we have all entered the Skoda lottery of build dates!

Hi all, new to the site, but viewed the postings for a while now thought id tell you on the delivery times i have been told today.

Been into Gordon Lamb Chesterfield today for a new brochure etc on the vrs. Mine is 3yrs old in March an as my bros vrs(10 plate) took ages to come, and the vat offer ending in Dec thought id see about getting the wheels in motion soon.

Anyway the salesman said that if I ordered today id be looking at 19WKS for delivery at least! Looks like i will be ordering in the near furture! Is this about right?

Carnt make my mind up on the colour though, I like the white and met blue, got a red one now so dont really want that again, is white the new 'in' colour?

Will have a diesel again, with rear parking sensors, maxi dot, and auto dim mirror/rain sensor/light assist, and poss the bluetooth phone thingy.

I will post the delivery time when ive ordered it. (In the next few wks i would say now!)
