Thread: Octavia Long delivery times

Started 3 months, 2 weeks ago by dandog
Ordered a 1.9tdi elegance estate with sunset glass 2 weeks ago. Phoned dealer for update on delivery date. He has been quoted February!! He has been at VAG who have brought the date back a bit, but his story is software problem at factory, and problems with the new bolero radio units. Sounded a bit sus, anyone got any inside info.

It wouldn't surprise me if there were delays. People are starting to realise that Skoda is a VW and you're getting VW quality for substantially less than the cost of a VW either Golf, Passat or Polo. Personally I'd rather have the delay and know that any quality issues have been sorted out & I'm going to get a great car.

I wonder if it depends on dealer or spec ordered so just random delays. I'm aware the 1.4TSI has delays till Feb/March. I ordered my car 2 weeks ago and had a build week with a day or 2, which is Week 44. Maybe there has been a rush of orders since then.

I've not heard anything yet, even though I ordered the car a week ago. I do know that the salesman is away this week, so will probably find out in the next couple of days, I'm not really that worried as I don't need the car until early December anyway, the only reason I ordered it when I did was to ensure that it qualified for the VAT-free & 0% finance deals, which it should do with ease.

The new ordering & stock management system; No it's not a leg pull either, my dealer warned me about possible delays when it was bought into use.

[QUOTE=nokiauk;1871023]Well dealer called yesterday, my car which was ordered 18th August is now confirmed built and is sitting in a German port awaiting shipping. Dealer hopes it will ship by early next week then probably another week till it reaches him. Mine was ordered a few days after yours and will be at the dealer's on Monday for collection Wednesday.

But it was very useful (and fun .. in a sad geeky way ..) being able to read all about the car before I collected it!
