I understand this, however there are 2 things at play here.
Skoda/ dealer order build will be allocated ( as you stated build week 49 for you) if the 80 is no longer being built then it will be build as the new MY24 spec that will included the new 85 spec despite being a free upgrade at the factory if that’s what happens on the Motability side it will be different.
Motability, system has a VRN (vehicle reference number) thats what mutability use, yours will be for what trim you ordered in the 80 variant, however as the new 85 is a new variant with Motability will essentially see it as a different model because the motor is different will different power outout and insurance group, if this variant comes back once the Enyaq is removed it will have a different Motability VRN thus will require the vehicle order on the motiabilty side to be canceled and the vehicle essentially reorders with correct corresponding VRN otherwise the dealer will not be able to delivery as the VRN number or what you ordered 80 wont match the 85 new VRN
The issue here is it’s not just a facelift if there was no change to motors it would not be an issue as the VRN would not change, but as in this case its essentially like you ordering a 1.6 engine the manufacturer discontinuing it and only having a 2.0 engine from now on, this is where the problem lays the 85 uses the more powerful APP550 motors with almost double the torque and over 80 bhp more as such will of course have different insurance groupings too
Im afraid we are in the same boat as you, we are waiting on tenderhooks hoping the 85x sportline plus makes it back onto the scheme and the price does not increase other wise we will have to look at a different vehicle.
so as you can see its not about fixing the AP at the time of order, its about the vehicle that will eventually turn up at the dealership not matching the Motabilty VRN order and not being able to be giving to us
and of course it no fault of us
@ Ian Durant. The AP you pay should be the one it was when you ordered not what it is when it arrives. I would expect the AP to alter in Jan but as with my 80x order it seems we will get the mid life upgrade to the 85x.
