New car delivery times

[Stozzey]

Hi. We went to our dealership on the 26/11 and were told 5-6 months for an 85.
However, we changed to a different suite and colour (neither of which we were too bothered about) and there was one on its way to port. We collect it on Monday 09/12.
Good luck!

Sorry. Only just noticed the date of the OP. I've just joined the Forum, so please forgive me

I’ve just ordered my new VRS yesterday and have been estimated at 16-20 week lead time and they have said around may 2025… is this right? How long have people been waiting for their new cars? Cheers Sam

I think that sounds about right. They seem to be selling more than they can make, yet it still takes an age to get a car.

I Changed my order from a 85 Edition Suite to an 85 Edition Loft. Delivery was supposed to be in March for the suite but the loft was available within 4 weeks. Now its waiting to go on a ship to the UK.

I am not worried about the seats being fabric. I had leather on my current car but wasnt great in the summer.

18 weeks today since ordering. Car is in a port in Germany waiting to be shipped. Probably still take another 3-5 weeks.

I know there is some negativity around VAG and order updates but as you can see from my recent order it was bang on the order time.

My EQB order on the other hand - have not provided an update in 4 weeks despite saying they would confirm a build week within 10 days!!

Those lurking and looking to order the following may be useful to you.

Dealership phoned and said car will be delivered tomorrow ready for collection Monday afternoon. 85 Edition no extras ordered 2nd September. So wasn't expecting delivery until January but not complaining!

Update from dealer on Tuesday 22 Oct.
Build week now locked to Week 46. Will get weekly updates then.
Hopefully might get it before Christmas.

Update from dealer 15 Nov 2024
Was supposed to be built this week beginning 11 November (W46) but hasnt been built!
Has no idea when it will be built as their Skoda website updater only says "with production order"
He will update me Friday 22 Nov 24.
Does anyone know if the Skoda factory in the Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic works weekends or 9-5 Mon-Fri like most local businesses?

Update 22 Nov 2024
It is now showing on the Skoda system as built and in transit from Czech. Should be here between the next 3-5 weeks.

Update 01 Dec 2024 = transit code 38- at port of exit and released for shipping- awaiting a vessel to transit it to UK (Port of Tyne). Still supposed to be 3-5 weeks.

@NSAS you're getting some great updates.

Indeed - I can't even convince the salesperson at my dealership to contact Skoda for the status code. (suspect this is because I placed the order with a different salesperson, who since left, so the new one probably doesn't any incentive to care about the order). I know back in 2021 we used to be able to contact Skoda Customer Support directly if you know the order number. But then stopped this at some point. Not sure if they might do it again if you're got an uncooperative dealership.

Bit disappointing as they were superb for my first Enyaq, but they just don't seem bothered since it changed to agency sales.
