Who's orderd what and when are you "supposed" to get it?

[JuanCarr]

Exactly.

 

Someone more knowledgeable than me might explain, but essentially each dealer is given an allocation/quota. If they go over that, it becomes a problem.

 

Is this bizarre business model standard across the car industry or peculiar to Skoda?

 

If I'm building cars, I would WANT my network of dealers to be flooding me with orders, wouldn't I?

 

Why would I say "sorry Mr Dodgy Dealership, you're restricted to 20 new cars a month".

 

What am I missing?

At a guess it's more along this line of stock management. If you order too many parts you end up with a load of extra capacity that is just wasting money.

Ordered 23rd august. Hoping to pickup in a weeks time (dealer reckoned 10 days, 6 days ago) however I'll know better tomorrow after phoning Skoda uk.

Ordered a VRS TSI DSG Combi with everything except full leather and heated rear seats on Aug 27th. Contract said 30 weeks (so 7 months!). Was told initially that delivery will be week 48, but I'm getting it next week. So a little bit over 2 months from order to delivery!

Caffyns tunbridge wells

So did I... but have not heard from them since i ordered it 10 weeks ago

[APoll]

Corrida Red Estate TDI vRS Black Pack & Sunset only

 

Ordered 10 Sep - Dealer stated BW43-45 delivery mid December

 

Car built Oct 24th (BW43) and now sits at Emden

 

SUK advise at dealers by week beginning 18th Nov??

 

Hopefully end of month. which would be 11-12wks so can't complain personally

[vrsCR]

Baz, who did you deal with, Russell or Jim?

[baz555]

Baz, who did you deal with, Russell or Jim?

Jim..

[vrsCR]

We've always dealt with Russell I just ping him over an email each Monday morning for an update and he's usually straight back

[baz555]

i think i might email Jim for any news ..i ordered mine week  before you did...

[vrsCR]

Yeah, it doesn't hurt to give them a little nudge now and then. Also I've found that calling SUK for an update is pointless

[vrsCR]

I see you went for sunroof? Enjoy your 14 plate!

[baz555]

I see you went for sunroof? Enjoy your 14 plate!

Oh... is there delays on that too... I thought  was on the estate sunroofs..

My last car was brand new model got one in 7 days.. 

6 months is taking the p***

I have Emailed Jim ... hopefully he will reply back soon

[vrsCR]

To be honest it's tricky keeping up with all the excuses so who knows. Last time we waited 5 months and that was when the FL had already been out for a year so I'm not holding my breath for this brand new one!

[Dempsek]

I ordered a 1.4TSI Elegance Estate last week of August with ACC,three spoke wheel and electric boot.

 

Build week 43, 21st October

 

Due collection around 18th November.

 

So from order to collection will be 11 to 12 weeks.

[TudorM]

Picking mine up tomorrow. It arrived after 71 days from ordering on Aug 27th (2 months, 10 days or 10 weeks). It has ACC, estate sunroof, Kessy and everything else that's supposedly delaying orders.

5th October order. Vrs tdi estate. Told it's been accepted by factory but no build date yet. I've not put any of the rockin horse $h1t options on my order.

 

I ordered my Candy white, vRS estate, manual box on 20th September. Told order accepted 2nd October, but no idea on when it might get to the UK. Dealer can only confirm the factory have accepted the order. Would love it at Christmas, but know its more likely to be Jan/Feb

[Madrunner]

Yeah wanted something a bit low key and won't show too many stone chips !!!!

Standard alloys in the matt/grey finish and red stitching. Think lol it'll look quite classy and subtle ?
