Basically I have taken their demo car before it's been delivered, car was ordered in June with every option ticked. Said I would only do the deal if they matched my RS3 price. They took it and also threw in a track day. They are ordering another demo. The dealership has. 4 build slots in 2015...
Order Placed April 15th - No BW
Order Cancelled August 3rd
Facelift AMG A45 order placed August 3rd
Built Sept 7th
Collect Sept 27th.
46k spec RS3 no discount
50k spec A45 for 45k.
Bosh.
Dam right its an alternative. So much so that I cancelled my RS3 this morning and have negotiated a mega deal on an FL A45 with every option box ticked.
Spent 2 hours in the Merc dealership today running over my predicament with Audi and going into the new A45 in detail. As you can imagine they are desperate to nick my order and have bent over backwards. Willing to do me a vehicle with every option box ticked (50,995) list price for the same...
Cheers for the heads up Alex. Ill mention that on my next call with them. Ive had enough of the Mr Nice Guy approach now to be honest. Cancellation threats are imminent.
Id say that is a pile of steaming **** Steve. According to my conversations with Southend they have not received a BW for any of their orders or stock cars.
The big frustration is lack of visibility of the true ordering process. Ordering early was no guarantee of a car. Others that have ordered after me have now taken delivery with pretty much identical Specs (Cav for example) From the outside it just appears that they pull a name out of the hat...
Steve, dealing with Matt and also spoken with Ian as well. The problem is that they don't have a clue what is going on at Audi UK and I seem to know more from picking up conversations on the forums. Audi UK have been giving me a regular call every Wednesday to "update" me as well. Last week it...
Steve, I went into Southend Audi the last weekend in March to give them my spec so they could order on the first day that orders could be placed. Said I really wanted one of the first ones in the country as I wanted it for this summer. I was told they would do all they can, as Ive said I still...
As most know I ordered with Southend Audi on April 15th (Having originally paid my 1000 deposit in January). I am still yet to receive a Build Week. The dealer hasn't got a clue what is going on and Audi UK keep saying that they are prioritising build weeks for customer cars over stock cars but...
Exclusive colour or not Jimbo that has me concerned now. I to placed on April 15th and still have no build week. If mine comes through and it is similar I will also be cancelling and going A45
Just called customer service, and got no more than I already know;
Demand has massively outstripped their estimation
Communication has been sent to all dealers advising that Customer cars will be prioritised over all stock builds
Should know more next week (hopefully a build week) and will...
I phoned them about 6 weeks ago and the bloke I spoke to was a total donut and all he kept saying was "Your local Audi Centre will give you any information as soon as we have it".If it wasn't my dream car then I would definitely threaten to cancel my order and order an A45 tomorrow but that 5...
Well pleased for you Raw but this is beginning to do my swede in now. Just sent a bit of a rant email to my dealer hoping they can try and do something about getting at least a build week.
