RS3 Build Tracker Spreadsheet

I’m looking to place an order on a RS3 Vorsprung in grey. I’m resigned to the fact for the first time ever I’m going to get 0% discount but see cars going used for way over list with a few from dealers I’d not want to deal with. Given used doesn’t attract vat these cars are 30% over new.

What is the real world timeline from order to delivery (car is on the drive) are we looking at? Is it that bad you’d buy a used instead at way over list?
Based on my experience your best bet is to either order or just keep checking auto trader for new cars that have been cancelled but still built. I wouldn’t be paying over list for one of these cars, brings it too closely in line with new cars from the class above, M3, RS 4, low spec Caymans etc.

just my opinion.

I've observed over the last 15months, dealers in North West appear to get a bigger chunk of cars coming through. If distance is not an issue, Crewe Audi are worth a call. Standard colour and Standard spec and saloon's are quicker to be delivered [~ 6 months], whereas Vorsprung + Sportsback and specific colours are very slow or are still in waiting since the books opened. If you scan the Autotrader, well over 100 cars registered by the dealers with over the top retail price and still awaiting to be sold
On our list approx 30% of the 100 cars have been delivered very randomly instead of from date of order.
Specifically, @3vans has the earliest order number for a Daytona Grey - Vorsprung Saloon, (ordered in Aug21 ) is just now in Transit to UK, with almost a year wait. Myself had on order from Aug21 for a Vorsprung Dayona Grey, Sportsback, with estimate build week 15 months from order, so when exact same spec was advertised by Crewe Audi as used, was able to grab it with 27 miles on the clock.
Also, some on our list have had their build week pulled and advised their car will be the next MY23 (facelift ?) version, so the wait for a Grey Vorsprung could run into a year or more or may be lucky to pick up a cancelled order at the current new price.

Some on here will be selling their cars on myself included probably when they arrive late March ?? I won't be asking too much over todays list....
As others have told you it's a lottery and looking through to the end of this year there ain't a lit of car coming through on here to members

Thanks all and appreciate the offers. I’m going to see Audi tomorrow and see what’s possible delivery wise as bizarrely they’ve got a demonstrator.
 
Morning All,
Not too much to shoutout about.
Fingers crossed for @3vans and @billymc92's Vorsprung and @Chief.are on their way.
@chiefweasle - should have had his Carbon delivered, but has disappeared from the forum to confirm, will remove from list next week.

I had that build week too until it was pulled to move to MY23 and three weeks or so on, Audi have still not reallocated the new build week for me! I will probably order an M3 Touring now as I really liked it when I saw and sat in it at the Festival of Speed. The order books open in September and I bet that from the point of order, I will not be waiting 8 months and still have no idea when the car will be built or delivered and will probably get this car quicker than the RS3 too.

Will leave the RS3 order in place and either cancel it at the last minute or just sell the car on if it ever arrives. Do not think that Audi will be too bothered on losing the sale or losing a long term customer, but they better start showing that they do value their customers, otherwise it will have a detrimental impact on the brand long term.

Hi Tony,

I’ve ordered one myself and I’m a senior sales exec at Warrington Audi, if you’re not far or don’t mind traveling then please give me a shout I’m more than happy to sort you out and run you through timelines based on spec etc. Please let me know.

Adam, I’ll try Tetbury first as only a couple of miles and bought a few cars from them. If no joy I’ll get in touch. Thanks T

I don't know if you'd want it but I have an order for a Daytona Vorsprung Sportback with the dynamic pack on order from the start of December last year you can have when it arrives? I don't know how it would work selling a build slot or someone else collecting when the car arrives or whatever, might be too much of a faff, but the offer is there and only want list for it to cover the car.

Not true.

They can keep the order on, then sell it when it arrives to someone who really wants it.


I still get emails about mine.

The order stays in the VMS system assigned to whoever made the order. Dealers don’t amend this until the car arrives as apparently Audi can pull the order if the name changes. Once it arrives, it can be sold to anyone they wish. May be worth speaking to the dealership.

As an aside, my dealer forgot to amend the VMS system and Audi Assist we’re still seeing the wrong name. Long story but I was trying to sort the refund on my old car Assist. All sorted now.

Isn't that just so the dealer can get their mits on it? And wouldn't that mean you're a) in the hands of the dealer and their potential price increase on list, and b) lose control over who the car is sold to. If the dealer has someone already sniffing around for a car who's a previous customer, they might offer it to them instead.

My mica blue VS has been given to another customer, I was keeping the order live, however the dealer said if I managed to source a car elsewhere (I did) that he had a repeat customer that wanted it and we could do a deal if I let them have it.

That's pretty good. I guess the only part we don't know is what price the new owner paid over list?

Gawd knows…….

It was when Audi had removed exclusive ordering and after a price increase.
I already had a potential buyer wanting it on the day I would’ve collected it, so would’ve sold it on whether or not.

I've ordered through MSG (Lincoln Audi) and after asking again two weeks ago they've told me the car will arrive when it arrives and I should stop asking. So in other words I won't get any updates until the car arrives.

Ridiculous feedback, which was duly responded to with a sod off.

Really poor that. I’ve heard more and more stories about dealerships who don’t really seem to want to bother at the moment. Will be a different story when more cars start being build again and they are trying to shift them.

It's interesting that you say that because MSG have always been good to deal with me. I've only been asking every couple months for updates, so nothing too excessive I'd say, but always seemed happy to deal with my request.

I would love to know how Audi have decided to allocate car builds. Going by the spreadsheet it looks like I ordered 6 weeks after you and for some reason my car is in build this week (although I've not chased up to confirm). I can only imagine that there's some sort of batch thing going on, with certain colours and body shapes being bunched together and it was just a Daytona Sportback batch time this week?

Either way it's infuriating.

I've "only" been waiting for 3 months, which I know is nothing compared to a lot on here, but I'm already considering calling Audi UK and saying if the next batch isn't the turbo blue sportback variety, I'll :fire: their factory down :devilish:
