Ordered my pre-built fabia vrs on Saturday when the salesman told me the car was located at sheerness shipyard (could be wrong)? He told me the delivery time would be 10 days without a confirmed date,

Just been told that my monte is at the garage. That's a delivery time of 8 days from build date.

A lot quicker than I was expecting. GET IN :)

Thats promising as Skoda dealers usually quote 2-4weeks from build to delivery..

Had a call from the dealer a little while ago - still aiming for end of May - not definite though. At least the dealers ring me every couple of weeks or so to let me know any updates (and make sure I still want the car I suppose!!!).

So, to come back to an earlier point, what 'dealer options' are there out there? Just curious...?!

Best ask them.

Springs,

Mudflaps (over Expensive), IMO

Paint & Interior Protection, (Expensive and to be Avoided) IMO

GAP Insurance. (Depends on your circumstances, buying on Finance etc)

Extended Warranty. (I would buy that.)

Service Plan. (I would avoid that, but thats just me.)

Thanks George,

Springs was the only thing they didn't mention it turns out then.

I think I made the right choices:

Mudflaps - declined (and front only offered)

Paint protection - declined - instead I am going to get a 'new car preparation detail' from a highly respected detailer on this forum.

GAP - accepted, but at £120 instead of the £400 it started at... :)

Warranty - think I will get this one, not decided 4 or 5 years yet

Service plan - comes free with the PCP (3 years)

I just wish it was here!!

Our Fabia was ordered on 7th Jan and we took delivery on 24th April (had a few extras) so 14 ish weeks from order to collection. Was originally advised 12 weeks, so not too far out.

Just got word today that my vrs estate is being built next week and will arrive in the UK up to 3 weeks after that. Whether it will or not, we'll soon find out!

I ordered the day after Easter Sunday.

Ohh, I got a copy of my order sheet that the dealer sends off to skoda... It has certain priority status requests and mine was set to 'urgent'. Does anyone know if all dealers set the priority to urgent when a customer buys a car?

My car has been built and is en route to the port at Emden. Dealer said it can take up to two and a half weeks to ship though. I ordered at the beginning of March. The 11th I think.
