Ordered mid-February. Delivery approx 12 weeks

Skoda Factory "accepted" the order 3rd March.

According to the dealer, no build week yet - will update us towards the end of the month, but says delivery in May.

Hopeful?!?!?

[grapo]

My build date has been brought forward from the 13th May to the 29th April.

For those with no build week date contact your sales guy. They can look it up on their system.

[PulsarET]
