Week 4 2013

Yikes... did you ask to get it that late?

[malcster]

No I was told 8-12 weeks from order

Seems to be a problem on the up forum some quoted 16 weeks

[Snuggles]

Jeez, I'm glad I cancelled my original order and went for a car which was already built. It was at the dealer's within a fortnight. I couldn't stand to wait for months on end.

If you ordered in July and will get it week 4 next year - that's 5-6 months... something must be wrong?

[Ootohere]

What is it that you have ordered that puts the build date back this far.

Is it one with ASG ?

What is it that the 'Up! Forum' has to do with it?

"Seems to be a problem on the up forum some quoted 16 weeks "

"What is it that the 'Up! Forum' has to do with it?"

Could it simply be that Malcster happened to have looked on the 'Up' forum (as I have myself) and noticed that some people had been given 16 week delivery dates. Seems pretty relevant to me given the similarity of the cars.

[Ootohere]

Ahh, 'Similar situation' being talked about, or something.

Doh, sorry,

i understand now.

Guy at Skoda I spoke to said his last call was ordered in may similar spec build date of end of September

Seems production is in overdrive for northern Europe due to exceptional demand

Although mainly wrong side drive ie left

I don't think I'd ever want to wait that long for a car, it's bad enough waiting the 3 months we've ben quoted.

They may eventually loose orders if it's now a 5 month waiting time.

Mick

[malcster]

A lot of folks will pick stocked cars

That seems to be the main production concentration at the minute

1 or 2 options with quick delivery

Annoying thing is every time that I phoned Skoda they are kinda blaming me for ordering so many options (a colossal 4 no less)

My response is always "well if you offer them people will pick them..."

Perhaps thinking about it communism isn't so bad after all one car one colour no problems

Interesting.

My dealer gave me a choice of about 20 from stock arriving between one and four weeks away, or order and wait until mid September. I did the latter.

It arrived at the dealer today, around 8 or 9 weeks. Every option other than smokers pack and sunroof. So all option packs bar one plus sunset glass.

All the Yetis we've had have been between four and seven months. So it seemed to arrive quite quickly!

[malcster]

When did you order as apparently mid July the lead times where increased to up to 20 weeks

[BossFox]

That would explain it.

I ordered end of June/start of July.

[Discopants]

Week 4 next year ? Holy cow

I think the dealer may be getting a visit .... And it looks like I'll have to pay for the MOT on my Fabia at the end of year. There's a big temptation to jack in it. Trouble is, the dealer mentioned about the deposit being non-refundable. Bugger.

[malcster]

Well if there's no confirmed build date the is no agreement in place so you would be within your right to cancel

Assuming your deposit is by card and they refuse get your bank to do a charge back

[river27]

Good grief, that's a long time!

I ordered 22nd June, still no sign of it...

Worried now!

MOT on the Qashqai runs out 28th September...

An MOT can be had for £35, and surely you drive a car that would pass its MOT on any day,

so hardly a major concern is it?

Just means its longer before you pass over a few thousand pounds.

That's the way I've been looking at it, but I'm getting a bit worried the wait could be extended. :think:

Mick

[Ootohere]

Best get clarification then from the Supplying Dealer.

It matters lots when it comes to a Trade in Value or Private sale of another vehicle,

or Renewing Insurance, taking out new cover etc.

I make light of the MOT, but i have been through it myself.

Mini & Audi are unbelievable for taking Orders, 'Taking an Order Deposit',

telling you about the 'traffic light' order system, build date etc

then a 6 months after all that, seem to think you are being unreasonable wanting that car you ordered.

(I know many do it, But Mini & Audi were the 2 that i charged Interest on when getting my deposit back)

[malcster]

Status has now changed to advisory build week subject to confirmation

Date remains the same

[alastairjc]

How do you know what week a car was built?.

Is there a label / sticker.

A few barcodes on mine say late June

where are the barcodes?

thanks

[alastairjc]

Barcodes are on suspension parts and on some cables / battery straps in engine bay,

they usually have production date on labels.

But I don't know specific week
