Hi Nick

No misunderstanding at all . I really understand how you feel . The fact is that Skodas priority on delivery is a mess .

I would go to koilakos and push them for more info . Not that you will get the car sooner , its not up to them , but at least you will not be on the blind.

Is the price you agreed fixed or open on delivery ?

I really think  and wish you will have good news in the next days. 

Hello and happy new year to all . For me it started very well since I received a call from the dealer today that my car arrived at the port on the 30th of December. ( octavia hatchback mhev 1.5 dsg graphite grey ) . With this note I would like to give notice to many of you that wait for their cars that something is moving lately in Skoda . For sure no priorities are kept and nobody understands the plan of car deliveries they have , if they have one.

The car was ordered beginning of September ,accepted by skoda on the 10th of September. Produced on the 8th of December , arrived in Piraeus port Greece on 30th of December . Forecast of receiving the car from dealer 20th of January. So I feel like winning the lottery reading all the stories on the forum , but I realy believe something is moving quicker in Skoda lately . Best of luck to all.

I was informed in August that there is a new pricing for the new model year and that Skoda doesn't guarantee that price will stay the same, but they didn't commit to the exact amount then. It was an estimate, subject to possible changes, as the date of delivery was totally unknown.

 

I could argue I should've known the exact amount earlier, but I feel they had been relatively transparent, granted they knew as little as everyone about what's going to happen.

I don't know about Skoda Poland, however Skoda UK set a date of 1st December for the price and specification change and an increase in % rates for Skoda finance. We got our orders in prior to this date for that very reason and to secure our chosen specification. 

 

I ordered my Octy vRS Wagon 2.0 TSI DSG (with most options ticked) back in July and the replacement for my wife's Scala SEL with most options (Scala Monte Carlo again with most options) back in November. Due to the money we spend, we have very regular contact with the dealer, however I have no expectation of any special treatment!

yes skoda increased prices on 1st december, but price increases and spec changes can be anytime skoda feels like it

however the one to watch is the model year change [ normally august]

lets say your wifes scala ordered in november2021 is still not built by august 2022, for the new model year, skoda then decides to reduce specs and removes stuff that used to be standard in this years model,

if that's the way they now come out of the factory,  then thats what your getting

I've had a long relationship with my local dealer since my wife's MK1 Fabia when I had a Mitsubishi. My parents first brand new car was a Skoda 110R and they bought that, because my grandfather had a 100R at the time and we had so many happy memories of family holidays all ove the country when I was small. My father-in-law has a Skoda Fabia MK2 Auto that he refuses to part with, so our history goes back somewhat!  

 

Our local dealer have worked hard, very hard over the years to get me in to a vRS and I've had a number of iterations to test drive!. My order of an Octavia vRS Wagon 2,0 TSI DSG, is locked in and I'm happy to wait, however if Skoda decide to change the spec for my wife's car, then I have no brand loyalty at all. She can keep her current Scala SEL and I'll order her an Ioniq 5 Premium or whatever other car she likes and we'll just drop the brand! No big shakes for her and nothing lost to me! Remember the customer is not always right, however they always have the choice of where their money is spent! It's a case of seller's market at the moment, however many a big brand has been lost for ever to bravado, machismo and complacency!

Don't think that's always the case. I ordered a my21 rs and now it's being built as a my22, the only thing that changed was the colour. 

As of this morning, my VIN is recognized in Skoda Connect Online. No picture yet, just a grey silhouette, but I guess it's finally been completed! 🤩

I also ordered a m21 Octavia iV, which is being built as a m22 now, only change is that they took the upgraded alloys off but it’s £350 cheaper

I spoke with my dealer again yesterday. They still don't even have a build date for my VRS ordered on 10th August 2021.

I've just received a message from my dealer that the car (ordered 1st week of March) was manufactured on 3rd of January this year and is now en route to the dealership, should be ready for collection in third week of January.

 

Bad news is they didn't keep the price. Good news is, the rate hike is relatively minor and the full spec was retained.

 

47 weeks from the order date to receiving the actual car. 

i thought the factory shutdown was before xmas and not reopening until 10 january?in any case  am pleased for you.just maybe i might get mine inside the next few months

August... Then, you can expect the car next August. Maybe June if you're lucky.

Well, Ralliskara seems to disagree...  To qoute him: "The car was ordered beginning of September ,accepted by skoda on the 10th of September. Produced on the 8th of December , arrived in Piraeus port Greece on 30th of December".

You're probably right. 

Just been advised my Octavia VRS Estate Petrol DSG has arrived in the UK:) Ordered July'21.

 

With a potential collection on the 14th. Happy days.

 

Hopefully those that are still waiting will get yours soon.

Yesterday the VIN stopped showing error when adding to the MySkoda app and has finally shown the grey silhouette. Today, the full color image appeared in the app. It seems it really does exist 😉

I still have a little hope that mine (ordered August) will be on the same truck to Slovenia as yours.

Happy New Year to all!

Looks like things are moving forward. Yesterday I received an email from my dealer and my Skoda Karoq 4x4 DSG, order at 3^rd of June is finished and awaits shipment to Romania. So probably at the beginning of February will be at the dealer. Finger crossed.

Same here. Today I got news that our Kamiq Monte Carlo has been built and is awaiting transport to Slovenia.  

 

Order date was september 18.

How time changes. I waited 2 and a half  months when I ordered mine back in October 2020. 😲

Do you have a VIN already? If so, you can register on Skoda Connect to check if the car has been built or no.

I have nothing yet, so this is just a false hope.  I will ask next week the dealer if there are any changes to my order. Won't hold my breath tho.  

Mine is in the UK and I'll have it this month. Ordered in May 21 and was quoted delivery of Dec 21 so i can't complain. Dealer kept in contact every few months to give me updates. Can't wait to get it, I've always wanted a vRS since the first ones came out. 

Had a talk with my dealer today. Still no date for the car.. No vin number either in the system... Ordered 10th March.....
