Duration from Order to Uk Delivery - Your Experience?

[Ouvavou]

Yay - my order has been accepted and build week 28 assigned! With the recent glut of good news I couldn’t resist emailing the dealer any longer so I fired one of this afternoon. I was still expecting “order not accepted” so I’m still a bit in shock! He said that mid august might be a likely date for me to get my hands on it although I’ve replied that I’d rather wait 2 weeks and get the next reg plates - it could end up being sept anyway. There is hope!

Anyone noticed that the IV60 no longer appears on the Skoda UK website, only the 80? Has also disappeared from the downloadable sales brochure.

I will be picking up our new car on Monday and that will be exactly 3 weeks since it left the factory

Did they reduce the price of the 80 to get under the grant threshold?

Absolutely not - the only direction prices are going is up. One reason for the iv60 being dropped, for now atleast, might be due to it no-longer qualifying for the grant. That’s narrowed the gap between 60 & 80 by atleast £2500 and must have made it less attractive. If I were buying now, without the grant, I’d probably opt for a lower spec 80.

The grant is now only £1500 anyway, so I guess less incentive for Skoda to squeak the price under. And they get to reduce production complexity by getting rid of a variant.
Before, the difference between a 60 with grant and an 80 without was around £5k. Which is why I went for it. If I hadn't, I'd be doing some hard thinking now.

There’s a £32k cap on the £1500 grant so no enyaq qualifies any more. When i ordered there was about £7k difference between a basic 60 & 80 (after the grant). I can’t recall what the basic 80 had over the 60 other than the chrome. Rear parking camera maybe? It was a significant difference if you didn’t regularly need an extra 40-80 miles range. I spent it on extras for the 60

Oh wow, yeah. The cap was £35k before, wasn't it? They had no hope of meeting £32k, not even with the 50 variant they sell across the Channel (where they still sell the 60, too).

Not in Germany. They've gone down the same route as the UK in the hope of reducing waiting times.
