Merry Christmas...

Was that date direct from SEAT or through your dealer?

Ordered mine mid July from IMG and I collect this Friday 1st September, standard manual in desire red. Not a colour I would usually have especially if I was keeping it but I've had plenty of black, grey, blue cars so fancy something different. Plus nobody else seems to have gone for it so hope it looks ok as never saw one in person. If not I'm not that bothered.

I've ordered in desire red, but you're the only other person I've seen to have also chosen that colour.

IMG had a FR in desire red and until seeing it in the flesh I wouldn't of considered it. Can you upload a pic when you get it please?

I was of same mindset, owned plenty of black/grey/silver cars and fancied a change!

Funnily enough I work for a SEAT dealer in the South West and we are getting an awful lot of leads that mention the IMG deal. We've then had 4 people order off the back of it.

Absolutely stunning car for the money.

Do you have access to the SEAT system by any chance? You could help a lot of PH'ers out with build dates hahaha

Chaps, what's the excess mileage rate on these deals? If it's underwritten by VWFS, do they allow you to purchase more miles halfway through the term? (I did this with my A4 and bought more miles, at half the stated excess mileage rate)

Just contemplating whether to up my mileage to 15kpa now, or stick with 8kpa and buy more miles halfway through.

just spoke with seat and they have given me a Build Week of 48!! paid deposit on 31st July so likely will end up with the car next summer lol. The guy at Seat did say to call back in a month as this isn't a definite and could be allocated an earlier or even later build week. This is all very confusing.

Picked it up and have to say I'm very impressed especially since I ordered blind and never seen one in the flesh let alone sat in one.

The red looks nicer than I thought and it's definitely got some poke. Interior is decent too and although may not rival the Golf R it's more than nice enough.

Very nice! smokin

Glad I went for this colour semi blind (desire red FR was my benchmark). Really suits the car.

Very tempted with the IMG deal and hoping to look at a Cupra at our local dealer this weekend (Currie Motors in Barnet). Are other dealers competing with the IMG deal?

So nice! If that colour had been available when the Black Editions were available there would have been no competition for me! Still, given the lead times currently I can probably start to think about ordering in a few months!

Cool, was a bit tongue-in-cheek as my 290 Black goes back in Nov 2018. Fingers crossed for a similar deal in Spring next year!

One question. The black strips that run down the sides of the rear window. Are they standard as I'm sure I've seen cars without them fitted and the look a bit naff without imo.

First proper wash and wax. I've done about 1200 miles now and it just gets better and better. Only problem is going to be sticking to 8k a year!

Just a couple more for those wanting a little more red in their life.
