New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[renesis]

Hi all, my first post. I have just purchased a 2015 Octavia RS wagon Candy White, Tech pack and Black pack of the showroom floor on the 1.2% finance. Pick up on Thursday. Very happy

Congrats on the new car!

Sounds to me like buying a car off the floor is the way to go.

So it's been 3 weeks now and was wishing the tracking website would be updated over the weekend. Had a look and it's still not showing up on the tracking website. Dealer seemed confident that it would still get here in 10 weeks...

Hi Nick, yep that's the website I've been using to track my order. A search for the VIN I've been provided gives me a result of 'no records found'. A wildcard search indicates that there are no records for cars with similar serial numbers also show no cars on boats. My guess is either they are having delivery issues in Europe because it should have been booked already. Dealer reckons it'll get here first week of July but they are as hamstrung as they don't anymore than I do...

Mine (take 2) is meant to be on the same boat... I got the VIN today and it shows up in the tracking as "Received at Terminal" (you enter the VIN in the "Cargo ID" field in case that's not what you're doing).
