There is a Quota for all franchised dealerships Caffyns ie Brighton Audi had filled their Quota for the RS3 8Y by mid November 2022 how many cars made up that Quota l don't know as l referred a friend on here to them he then contacted Brighton Audi and was told they'd reached their amount of car allocation and couldn't order anymore by the way Caffyns where the dealer chosen by Coast2coast carsIt's very odd how orders are allocated, dealers 'may' have a quota available, that could be x number of RS3's, or x number of RS3 saloon and x number sportback, or maybe x numbers of RS cars, there could also be a franchise quota?
As for the dealers knowing what is happening or not, they are also doing a lot of ar*e covering at the moment as well, my dealers 'demo' car has never appeared and apparently isnt going to appear at all, the story is it was taken off them to give it to another dealer, most probably one in the same franchise with a customer prepared to pay over the top
Check out the spreadsheet above mate it gives out all that @RS03??? has been given over the last 3 months or moreordered mine in november and was promised a september delivery but has anyone who ordered around the same time getting theirs any quicker?
Just spoke to my dealer, for him, all the Sportsback Vorsprungs are showing with no build week, whereas other' variants are. As Sportback is popular, may be a quota is kicking in. According to the data we have here, its approx 50 of one type or other.It's very odd how orders are allocated, dealers 'may' have a quota available, that could be x number of RS3's, or x number of RS3 saloon and x number sportback, or maybe x numbers of RS cars, there could also be a franchise quota?

Was hoping the shift will be to the left, instead right. Is it worth it, dont know what to type.. Do you wish to be visible on the order misery spreadsheet ?Update on my Vorsprung SB today, ordered August 21, initial delivery estimate was March 2022, last month I was told September 2022, now BW46, so that’s November 22. Add on delivery, Jan 23? In which case registration March 23, so still over a year away. Genuinely questioning if it’s worth it!
That runs a massive risk of a facelift window for MY24.
Same, ordered a Kemora Grey, Carbon Sportback beginning of October. I have had confirmation though about parts being sourced ready for build.. but that was the beginning of December.All this action and I've heard nothing
Wow, I ordered carbon saloon mid Nov and haven't even got a build week. Literally no info on mine
If you wish to be visible, please also advise on the colour,Same, ordered a carbon Sportback beginning of October. I have had confirmation though about parts being sourced ready for build.. but that was the beginning of December.
That was a standard email that we all got! All on the same day too.Same, ordered a carbon Sportback beginning of October. I have had confirmation though about parts being sourced ready for build.. but that was the beginning of December.

I'd say that's good news mate. Take a look through posts on here you'll see people getting BW40+ and then they jump earlier by 10s of weeks in some cases. Pretty certain it won't be BW46.Update on my Vorsprung SB today, ordered August 21, initial delivery estimate was March 2022, last month I was told September 2022, now BW46, so that’s November 22.

2023 could possibly be the year that rumours start up about the 8Y facelift leading to actual factual confirmation yeah it's a risk some of us could be faced with? was the 8Y not launched in Spring 2020???Update on my Vorsprung SB today, ordered August 21, initial delivery estimate was March 2022, last month I was told September 2022, now BW46, so that’s November 22.

That seriously makes you question the ordering system and what happens between you sitting down with the dealer, paying your deposit and Audi DE receiving your order.Update on my Vorsprung SB today, ordered August 21, initial delivery estimate was March 2022, last month I was told September 2022, now BW46, so that’s November 22.

1.Price to sell on I'll not make anything probably lose money as the car market will have some normality returning to
2 .Facelift time on the horizon
We'll just have to see how Audi's farcical Circus turns out as the year progresses
Honestly not a clue, I was only told last week it was awaiting transport to the UK. Today I got the email to say it was at the dealership, I have no idea when it actually arrived in the UK.how long did it take for the car to be delivered to your dealer mines waiting to be picked up as of yet ?
Supposedly mine getting built this week
Carbon Saloon
It was ordered opening week through MSG so will be Lincoln Audi.
I'll believe it when I see it though.
It's Kemora though so no need for the paint shop.
Yes it was Feb/March 2020 when the covers were pulled off 8Y. I was thinking it would be late 2023 before any facelift officially appeared.2023 could possibly be the year that rumours start up about the 8Y facelift leading to actual factual confirmation yeah it's a risk some of us could be faced with? was the 8Y not launched in Spring 2020???
Yes it was Feb/March 2020 when the covers were pulled off 8Y. I was thinking it would be late 2023 before any facelift officially appeared.
Also, in terms of selling, won't there be a window when 8Y RS3 (8.0) goes off sale/order and facelift 8Y RS3(8.5) appears. I am thinking specifically that RS3 disappears early and then its about a year before the facelift RS3 appears? I'm thinking late Q3 2024 for RS3 facelift then. just my thoughts. Obviously you can't sell something if you haven't got it...well not legally.
Also, just a couple of thoughts that crossed my mind...
1) If Mercedes UK have ditched basic A45s (the 52k one) and only going to sell A45s + for approx £59k (A class facelift due this year)........will Audi decide they don't need a standard trim model and lose that from pricelists and just leave Carbon and Vorsprung models.
2) After us all complaining about the lack of interior design pack etc...will Audi UK say "yes terrible decision on interior choices, who cares we have stacks of orders for RS3 so doesn't matter what we do"
Asked again today no build.date
Yep, feel free to add it on, SB, Daytona, Vorsprung, ordered WK3321, BW 4622Was hoping the shift will be to the left, instead right. Is it worth it, dont know what to type.. Do you wish to be visible on the order misery spreadsheet ?
Good points made especially about the RS3 8-0Y production ending almost a year between end of production plus introduction of the RS3 8Y 8-5Yes it was Feb/March 2020 when the covers were pulled off 8Y. I was thinking it would be late 2023 before any facelift officially appeared.

I sold my last car just over 4 months ago luckily l have use of the wife's car...but hopefully your build week will come jumping forward soon mateAnother of my concerns is that my current S4 cannot hold onto it’s inflated value for much longer, I had planned to p/ex it against the RS3 based on the original lead time of March & get some good equity back, but by the end of the year, no chance, so this increases my cost to change.
Mine also in UK although a Carbon Saloon but will wait until 1/3.Just as an update on mine. Ordered it the day the configurator opened in August (Turbo Blue saloon Vorsprung) and it is officially in the UK now, probably in the port. Dealer suggested I wait till 1/3 for the new plates but it may arrive before.

Thanks.. Mine is also SB Vorsprung Daytona Grey. Still no Build week ordered on week 32, full deposit paid on 3rd day of initial week, Was the 4th order at the dealer.Yep, feel free to add it on, SB, Daytona, Vorsprung, ordered WK3321, BW 4622
Something must be going on within the dealer/dealer franchise/Audi UK as I ordered mine Sep 3rd, the order was accepted by the factory around the 7th Sep, initial BW about a month later of 16/22, then 8/22 followed by a surprise 49/21 around the first week of December.Thanks.. Mine is also SB Vorsprung Daytona Grey. Still no Build week ordered on week 32, full deposit paid on 3rd day of initial week, Was the 4th order at the dealer.
