Yes it's all a bit odd, right from the beginning of the process (4th June), was given build week 35 both by dealer and SUK. Then on the Thursday of week 35 I get a call saying car will be at dealer the following Thursday, and be ready for collection on the Saturday.

I have no idea how that has happened, but then I don't really care.

As long as it's a proper car!

As you said as long as it's a proper car it's a bonus getting it earlier than expected:)

Well we have our car - Mirror link works a treat with my HTOne M8, - and we have done a tip run with the garden stuff already, not bad for 2 hours of ownership... Oh and BTW its bloody fantastic....!

Hmm, it just decided to use it on its own.

Didn't have a lot of time at the dealers.

Will do more in depth investigation later today.

Having said that mine tried mirrorlink last night too. Most annoying

Ordered 28th June, built last week. Delivery estimated 2-3 weeks. Getting excited now!

I have a lot of respect for all of you in this thread.

I was toying with buying new but when Tue dealer mentioned a 5 month waiting time, I couldnt possibly cope with that and bought used from the network.

Mind you, anticipation is as exciting as getting it. One you get it, its all downhill

5 months...  that is a long time. i am sure most People get there cars 2,5 - 3 months after ordering.

my car is on it's way,if i am correct the car got to the port in drammen (norway) last night so in 3 weeks i shoud have it at my house. time from ordering to driving it..less than 3 months.

Should your car be on Asian Breeze? Just wondering since I thought they only used Emden for shipping .... if it's that ship my car might be on as well - guessing I just have to wait an see when my dealer calls me :-)

isn't skoda shipped out of Bremerhaven? that's what i was told.... autoracer came from Bremerhaven and unloaded in sweeden (wallhamn) two days ago before it came to drammen yesterday. asian breeze is in drammen now but they came from zebrugge i think. Edited 7 September, 2015 by bytterga

I might be mistaken about Emden .... some of the "older" ppl in here might know some more specifics ... anyone? :-)

[domhnall]

Nope they ship from Emden

Guess it Depends on if the car is going to uk or Scandinavia. Mlada Boleslav - Bremerhaven - Norway is the common route for us in Norway.

Ordered on friday 3rd of July.

Confirmed from dealer build week 35, delivery week 37 somewhere at beginning of August.

W36, dealer told me that there will be a delay ETA W38. Next day got a VIN and Skoda Service application said built on 31.8.2015.

Called dealer on friday and he suprised me, car was in Zagreb.

Handed over yesterday 7.9.

Three months for a client in small market as Croatia, no complaint!

Good luck to others!!!

[MRJSVRS]

Correction, meant to be ready by 4-11/12/15

[Aarond]

Email today informing build week 42, so second week of October. So 3 to 5 week delivery to UK probably?

Just noticed today that the sticker inside the drivers door states that my car was built May 15.  However the Skoda app has it built at 1 June 2015 (Monday).  I am pretty sure it is a MY16 spec, but wondering on the difference in build dates.   If anything I would have thought the sticker would go at the very end of the build process?   Any thoughts on why the difference?
