Spring 2011, I paid a deposit on a Superb estate and as i found out after 6 weeks of waiting, because I ordered the panoramic sunroof, delivery went out from 8 to 10 weeks to maybe 6 months, they couldn't confirm. I said to the dealer that was unacceptable, they agreed and I got my deposit back with zero hassle.

I got the vat discount and i like the car had a drive in the dsg vrs and the 1.8 dsg. I guess its catch 22. dealer told me that the delay was to do with getting the dsg gearbox. HEY HO guess i will have to wait see

Well done on ordering a fantastic car that is good value and also is a bit of a wolf in sheeps clothing with that engine gearbox combo. They truly are good value especially if you ordered with that VAT free special discount. The delay will be because of the DSG gearbox, more demand than they can build for over all the VAG brands, a product of success. I originally wanted the DSG version of the VRS but my dealer was quite honest and told me to expect a wait so went manual. What you can do however is get your order number from your dealer and contact Skoda UK direct for the build date. Skoda CS were actually very good when I was in contact with them for my car, although I was wanting a delay for Mar 1st delivery last year !

Called skoda uk they said its down as week 19 at the factory but that it might change so its slightly better than week 22
