Yep does look that way. Been told approx 4 weeks for delivery following build week.

Ordered mine last week from NVS.

Standard Spec, 3/23 @ £208

Build week confirmed as 47. Week commencing 20/11

That's mental! Did you ask for a build date? They haven't told me anything.

Wish I'd gone with NVS now rather than Skoda direct.

No, it was showing as 18 weeks on the order form. But they asked if I wanted it early as there was a build space available week commencing 20th November.

Oh dear. Are they saying they've cancelled your order?

Nah i'm sorted for build week 2. But anyone looking for a deal now is probably not gonna happen.

Gutted isn’t the word. Mrs GP and I had decided on a new 245 via NVS earlier this week, chatted about and agreed the spec on Thursday night, and on Friday morning I logged on with phone in hand to see the above message

Think you got my cancelled order...had one on order with NVS for delivery this year but managed to get the only unregistered 245 in the country for only a couple hundred pounds more. Delivered last week and love it

I procrastinated and didn't order until the back end of last week and got the same message today.......

[Ursicles]

21st Century are saying they can still order some - if your quick you might be able to grab one.

[garpat32]

There's a post on Briskoda forum, the 245 thread, and someone's saying the dealer has got back to them the factory have cancelled theirs and quite a few others orders.

[Thomas-7n5dy]

I ordered back on the 6th of October so have followed up to see where it leaves me. Will confirm once I hear back so maybe we can work out what point they are cancelling orders from.

[Andy665]

Ordered on 10th October and waiting to hear whether I'm likely to get a car

This is shambolic by Skoda - sure fire way to severely hack potential customers off

It's more likely to be NVS, many other lease companies have done this.

I ordered from a dealer who has just reassured me that there is no problem with my order, they believe it will still be delivered to my timescale (May 18) - great service from the dealer - response within 10 mins of me sending the email asking for clarification

[Steve vRS]

My order from Horton Skoda has been confirmed as being accepted by the factory. I placed it on 18th October.

[Big_Dan]

Meh, ordered mine through NVS on 24th October - all they will say is that it has been ordered with the dealer, no confirmation of order at the factory so far

[scott2c]

I ordered on 18th October with NVS and got a build week 2 after I chased them up. I'm sure you'll be fine if you ordered before 8th November with NVS as that's when the production message went up.
