Cleared for finance, now told take a white one or wait 9 weeks......

With the Mk 3 version due to be launched any time, there must come a time when they stop making the Mk 2 so as to change over to the new model. Perhaps that is the root of what you've been quoted??

9 weeks is not bad actually. Many of us have waited 10 weeks or more. I'm assuming you are referring to a factory build?

17 weeks for my car.

There are a few threads around on this - a more recent one is below, three or four months is not unheard of TBH.  I'm sure there is still a high demand for the current generation Superb.  One of the factors for a longer lead time can be factory options added or some colours

Paid deposit on a 1.6td estate in white not-greenline though

Do you not want to wait for the model?

Yes, unfortunately the JIT manufacture (Just in Time) culture is catching up with us. To avoid gluts of cars parked up in fields....so depending on spec, colour, LHD or RHD you will have a wait. Lead on a LHD car here is approx two to four weeks and four times that for RHD as I understand it.

I enquired about new here in Suisse before opting for second hand - price saving massive even with all finance/leasing deals etc. taken into account. Pick it up on Friday - can't wait....

Good luck with your new purchase though - I'm sure you'll love it!

Well, mine is at Mansfield and ive paid the VAT upfront as a deposit (to be reclaimed) then its 60 x £293 and its mine....

 

£200 for a meter

£200 to plate it

£40 for a rooflight

 

my current car does 40mpg, im hoping for better from the Superb
