vRS245 ordered club

[RussTi]

Lucky you. let us know how you get on what spec did you go for?

 

[Rjw_ipswich]

Wasn't trying to rub it in with my previous post, More in shock that i haven't had the same issue as so many others have!

 

I went for the White Hatchback, DCC, Canton Speakers and KESSY

[RussTi]

my 'Lucky you' was genuine sorry, may have come across as curt not my intention at all. genuinely 'lucky you'   I'm pch'ing it so went for completely stock. I toyed with DCC but as they want the full price for the option either up front or spread over the 24 i couldn't really justify it.. Hope i don't regret that >.<

Just a quick update from me.

 

Have found an almost identical VRS 245 which will be in the UK in a few weeks rather than the 5 months my current timetable looks like.  Have got a quote under the same terms as my original one and is unsurprisingly more expensive by £2,000.

My case manager is seeing what they can do centrally about the £2,000 difference and I'm awaiting a call back.  The new car is the same as my original order other than it has metallic paint and a spare wheel, so could be tempted to pay a bit more for those, plus the fact I get it in weeks.

 

Question for anyone who wants to answer, how much more would you pay (if any) to get your cars now rather than in 2/3/4 months time?

I paid an extra £800, when I had the 245, to get it 4 months sooner.

Cheers. Hope yours gets sorted soon! I was touch and go on the DCC but went for a 3 year lease so the cost spread across that wasn't as bad

I paid £600 extra cause dealer could get one with canton and spare wheel within week of ordering it

[ClarkyStu]

I was offered one with sunroof kessy the whole shooting match but my monthly went up by 100 a month!

[JuanGandini]

Just been onto Skoda chat and had confirmation my 245 is in transit to the port. Boom!

 

Ordered 29 Sept. Red DSG hatch with no other options. Only just realised keyless start isn't standard. Will be weird to actually use a key to start the car after 4 years of not doing so. First world problems etc.

[RussTi]

Congrats exactly my spec

What sort of deal have you guys got on PCH for the 245's? I needed a car quick so went for a stock 230, but optioned up to almost the same as a 245. So it has alcantara seats, black design plus, winter pack and spare wheel. Total PCH 24 mnths/16k is £7.1k. I suppose I must have paid around £1k extra, but even at that money it's good value...I'm glad I did now having seen the supply issues and wait times!

National Vehicle Solutions have the Leon 2.0TSI Cupra 300 Tourer at £260 3+23, the £500 compensation split over 24 months would leave the OP breaking even with the 245. I'm no expert on the spec between the the 245 vs the Leon but there are faster alternatives for the saimilar money. Of course I'm sure there would be another long wait for the Seat anyway.

The Seat isn't a place I'd like to spend a lotta time inside compared to the 245

Just heard from my dealer to say that the car has/is been loaded onto the boat and is on ze way!

Anyone else feel like we’re all part of a large happy family which is going to be torn apart as the lucky ones take delivery of their new 245s and leave us, to play with their shiny new cars and gadgets.  Wonder how many of us will still be here asking about build weeks in 3-4 months time?
