I ordered an A3 Sportback 1.5 150ps S-Line Auto with comfort & sound, y spoke alloys and flat bottom steering wheel on January 9th and was quoted late March early April for delivery. This was through a leasing company but ordered from an Audi dealer somewhere in Essex.
My car at the time was going back at the end of March so that timescale was perfect.
In March I got an email to say that Audi had confirmed my order. Wait, I thought my order was placed in January ???
Next email stated late April for delivery so I extended my lease another month to fit in.
My car at the time was collected but no new A3 turned up.
Then it started, delivery delayed until June, then a ‘confirmed’ build week 27 with delivery in July so I had to go out and buy a temporary car for £1k to get around in.
No car in July and the next emails gave me 3 dates in August, still no car.
Yesterday I got an email to say it is currently ‘In build’ and ‘expected’ at the dealer by 29th September, or earlier.
How can I have a ‘confirmed’ build week of 27 but it’s not built. Is that not what confirmed means ?
Anyway, whether it’s in build now or yet another date plucked out of thin air who knows.
I have been going to cancel for weeks but kept thinking ‘I will give it another week’ but how long can you go on like this.
The only thing keeping me from cancelling is that the deal when I ordered was ridiculously cheap and it’s now well over £100 month more.
So I still don’t know if it’s being built, if it’s still delayed or if it will ever be built.
What a carry on.
