Was a bit disappointed not to have received an update yesterday - build week confirmed for 07/09/15 - was hoping for some movement.

However just received update - progressed to 5a in transit/left the factory - whoo hoo - good luck if you're on this build week - especially if you've been waiting forever  :smiley:

Anyone want to buy a Leon - I better get the finger out

That's good news for you.

I'm also confirmed build week this week 7/9 (and have been waiting forever!), but no update/movement as yet.  Guess it could be built any time this week, but hopefully not Friday afternooon.  :undecided: :laugh:

Sold my Mk6 GTI last Sat, so all ready for the R now.  Driving an A3 free hire car till then, which I'm already sick of. :whistle:  Seats are soo uncomfortable!

Yes it was you I was thinking about - long wait for sure but worth it in the end I'm sure

Saw your post on parting with the Mk6 (which was looking awesome) and was thinking I must get a move on with selling my car  :embarrassed:

Yes not long now for either of us (I hope). Yours must have been built first thing yesterday. :smiley:

I was relatively lucky selling my Mk6 considering I hadn't even yet advertised it anywhere.  Had one very interested buyer back in July who came on here looking for a Mk6 and was nearly a done deal but he had to drop out for other reasons.  Then an existing forum member was asking for opinions on a couple of used cars and I popped up my spec (which matched his) and hey presto!  All worked out very well.  Just as well really as in a poor position trade-in wise having purchased the R through a broker with max discount and no p/x deal as they don't do them.  With no bargaining power I would have no doubt been offered very low end price by a dealer I expect. So was important to secure reasonable private sale.  And the forum has been invaluable in that respect.

It's the first time I've sold a car privately, and was very smooth process plus managed to do all the negotiations/sorting whilst I was 4000 miles away on hols!  However I know it can be a PITA with time wasters etc.   So good luck with selling the Leon, hope it goes smoothly for you.  Are you on any Seat forums that you can advertise on as well as the usual places like Pistonheads and Autotrader?

Btw, what are you getting?  GTI, GTD, R?  I'm sure it's on a post somewhere, lol.

I also got my 5A today! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What's the timeframe for getting to the dealer?
I was told by the dealer if it was registered and collected within September then I would qualify for the Golf Icon event, what are the chances of that?

And does anyone have the IMO/name of the vessel's that pick up the cars from Emden? I want to track them  :evil: :evil:

Up to 4 weeks from start of build to dealer though it can be less sometimes.

I think you're the lucky one with that specced R on the way!

Thanks.  Call me superstitious, but I'll be happy when it's built and is on a ship heading to Sheerness. :laugh:
