A lot depends on what you've ordered, give us a clue, model/spec, engine?

 

There are delays right now on the petrol's, see the other threads that are around this one...

There is a post all ready started for this (Delivery times)

From what I experienced talking to a few dealers when I was looking for a new 1.6TDI DSG this is normal .... one dealer quoted me 22 weeks which is almost build to order in my opinion :-(

 

I could not wait 5+ month as my yeti was facing expensive bill so ended up buying an nearly new 1.6 TDI SE L DSG with sub 3K on the clock ... I was lucky to find the exact engine/gearbox/trim level I wanted at a dealer in the next county to where I live.

 

Hope this helps reassure?

Ordered my Karoq Edition on 20th July 2018 (2.0 TDI DSG 150PS with a few extras). I have been given a delivery date of 23rd January 2019.

Interesting that the salesman quoted a min/max estimate of 10-12 weeks rather than single estimate (usually a sign of sales BS)

 

I think his estimate is rubbish, I understand there is a weekly update of delivery times for all models sent to all dealerships.

When you are next in there ask him to call up the email for the week you placed your order, that might may him squirm

 

If he was telling porky pies, suggest £100 off for every week it was beyond his 12 weeks, nothing ventured, nothing gained, stare hard at salesman and see what happens. might get something else thrown in

Ordered mine at the end of July, 1.0 litre SEL have just been told by the dealer that it will not be here until next year

[Biggles33]

This is a bit strange,     three weeks ago I put a factory order in for a 1.5 SEL  spec Karoq through Car Wow.    The dealer said 12 weeks....However they  emailed me a week later to say they have sourced exactly the correct colour and spec model and it will be in before the end of Sept.  I know it's not at the dealers yet and since I am selling  my VRS Octavia to my son in the Cotswolds and I live North of Scotland can't pick the car up till end of October anyway, when I am down there..  

I have to have the Karoq ready to drive back North 

I have not delt with Car Wow before but their seems little problem in communication with the dealer.

 

Reading the previous posts does put a bit of doubt in my mind . Any thoughts.

Sometimes dealers have ones in the system and just make amendments to the build.  Mine was ordered 24 aug unconfirmed build from Skoda UK 22 October 1.5 sel man with 5 options.

[Boreverard]

I think this is down to the engine choice, my dealer said me could get the 1.5 before Xmas.  From what I have found out the 1.0 litre engine model will not be in production until the start of Dec 18.  It looks like there have to be some modifications to meet the new emission tests that is causing the delay.  

[Biggles33]

Not sure I like amendments to the build.  Is that Ok ? It just seems strange that before CAR Wow I was I touch with three dealers none of which seemed in a hurry to source a car or sell a demonstrator ...but this dealer managed fine if it all works out.

 

 

 

 

thank you

Yes as I think the dealer has a car on order in standard spec and before it gets built they can change it.  Not a Karoq but I like the test road at the end! 

 

[Ootohere]

Traffic light system on the build and changes, and when it is at red then no changes, or so many a 'salesperson' will tell you.

 

Re the test track run,

Not sure if the tyres at at 50psi at that point, but the transport blocks are obviously not in. 

it would be 'Simply Clever' if when getting the PDI that the tyre pressures are always reduced, the TPMS reset and the Transport Blocks always removed.

I have never seen anything like that before wonderful but frightening robots it reminded me of the Terminator films.  Thank you for the advice. Transport blocks etc.

My dealer (Lightcliffe Skoda - Warrington) offered 7 days free insurance cover so I could drive it away then insure it at my leisure.

Indeed jumbo.......in the event my dealer also provided me with Skoda insurance for 5 days as my own insurer, Aviva, were most unhelpful with the proposed change.......either way it all worked out fine in the end.

[Boreverard]

Picked mine up a week ago last friday. Insurance was very easy i had free 5 day cover from the dealer.  However my own insurer general accident wrer 1st class, it took 10 mins on line to change from my old yeti to the karoq with no cost at all.  Despite the long wait my dealer Trust have been very good and i am really pleased with the car, it surpassed all my expectations.
