Through Cvl,

Have been into sign agreement, but millage charge was suppose to be 7.2p per mile on agreement it states 8.3p a mile so have had them look into that.

Car is waiting to be collected it's sitting at there seat branch in york

Same situation for me only I don't know if it's arrived at the dealership (i assume so). Have had CVL looking into the mileage rate discrepancy but havent heard anything. Will phone DM Keith direct tomorrow

[Joeseppi]

Anyone else on build week 38 had notification of their vehicle being at the dealership or had finance docs through yet?

Not much difference in looks but I like the look of the new colours, a Cupra in the Boheme Purple would be pretty much my perfect car!

Speak to the Leeds Skoda branch as they deal with all the corporate side,

[andypolack]

Have all you guys who had mileage excess increases been successful in having them lowered as per the initial agreement?

Wouldn't mind an Ateca Cupra for the next lease

Do you have the manual to hand? Could you post a photo of this please?

I don't no, don't have my car yet. My current Mk2 says this though.

I'll check the manual tonight and post it up

I've checked the service schedule, it says it's long life if you have the PR code ql1 or time/distance ql2 to ql6, mine has non so I'm going on what the car says, currently states 696 days

It'll be interesting to know what the 'suprise' will be with the 2017 Cupra. Who's guessing 4x4, mechanical LSD or a 5 cylinder engine or a combination of? Not sure what they can really do, do you?

Something to consider in a couple of years time for sure.

Spelling the word correctly perhaps?? LOL!

No way Audi will let SEAT have the 5 cylinder lump - favourite is it running a 4wd Haldex ala Golf R etc with a headline 300ps/310ps engine.

Yeah, it'll probably be a 4wd option/variant. Which won't really be much of a surprise. It's also not an option box I'd tick.

Hope it's something more interesting than haldex 4wd

Thanks for checking but I'm dumb and don't understand what you mean by "PR code ql1 or time/distance ql2 to ql6"

[nunpuncher]

Don't know about the codes but the time (days) and mileage until the car will require a service is shown under the car or set up menu on the infotainment system.

One thing to note is that this is not a static number. It will change based on the cars usage.

Forgive me father for i have sinned.

Would be great if they dropped the 5 banger and Quattro system in though wouldn’t it.

The 3 digit codes that refer to options and things on the car

I am new to leasing, what are peoples thoughts on:

1. Alloy wheel cover
2. Scratch and dent cover
3. Key cover

I am going to buy GAP insurance but what about the others?

I wouldn't bother, I looked at the prices and it was really expensive, the end of life costs are quite small apparently from VW finance, Wheels damaged £50, Bumper resprays £150, im sure there is a post on the leasing thread or the Golf R thread where a guy detailed the costs for the damage, it looked cheaper than getting them repaired yourself.

I have got GAP though should it vanish in the night

The guy from the old 5th gear had just had his cupra robbed

Edit, it's a press car, just seen it on another video, still not good

Damn this isn't good, but I suppose car theft is something that goes on regardless. All we can do is prepare ourselves as best as possible.

This talk of GAP insurance, can someone please aware me of why people buy this sort of cover? I think it's something to do with covering the deposit you have put down (whereas I'm on a 1+23 @ £249) but is there more to it than that? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, C.

[Chris-52g4f]

Aha! Coincidentally enough I've just had an update from Carly @ Lookers.

I've now moved to Status Code 20 so my build week is officially 46 so a mid November build.

Can anyone confirm how long they take to build? How long it takes to ship to the dealership and how long the dealership has the car before confirming it's available to be picked up?

If my official build week is Monday, 14 November – Sunday, 20 November, 2016, would 4 weeks in total be about right to go from build to dealership to pick up so around mid-December for delivery?

Also, for those who have ordered Monsoon Grey, Carly is going to video the car for us in that colour so I'll post that when I've received it. I've also asked about whether she has any 290 (black or not) to test drive so I'll see what she comes back with.

Thanks, C.
