    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    Christ...I thought my quotes were rubbish (around the £500 mark for a new S3!) I wonder.....Is this partly because you're only getting a limited number of quotes due to the car being too new to be updated on the insurance databases? Have you tried ringing a few brokers and dealing with a human?

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    It's a pain! This happens with all new models. It takes a while for all the databases to update for brand new models/variants.. I'm having similar issues with quotes for a new S3 (300ps as opposed to the older 310ps). All the compare sites are only showing prices from the Admiral group (bell...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    I'd be signing NOTHING and having a trip down to the Dealer's, PRONTO! Can they register it on a '68 plate before you've signed the docs? I would've thought you'd have to sign all the docs before any ball starts rolling? Anyway, that really is a poor show on the Dealers part - especially if...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    You've waited forever. February's a short month. Wait and register it on a '19 plate. Better price come resale time, and feelgood factor of a proper "new" plate, rather than it feeling instantly "old" on your '68 plate as you see the new '19 plates driving around in a couple of weeks...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    I'd definitely do the same (in fact I am!) Mines due to arrive in a couple of weeks and I've already told the dealer to reg in on 1st March. I've waited 8 months. A couple of weeks makes no difference to me. Will be a nice feeling having a brand new car on a brand new reg, and also worth more...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    I told my dealer that if mine were to arrive in February, I will make them keep it and register it on March 1st on a ‘19 plate. There is absolutely no way I am going to wait almost 9 months and then take a new motor a couple of weeks before a new reg. On a high price motor, the difference...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    Haha. I got the EXACT same email and I was mad as a box of frogs.....then got a call from the dealer about a week later giving me a build date! WTF? The way Audi have handled this debacle is nothing short of disgraceful. They've shown utter contempt for the customer, and have not been bothered...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    Absolutely that! Yep, I was blown away with the extended test drive I had, and ordered one there and then! Such a lovely interior with a bit of get-up-and-go should you need it!

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    Cheers, Pal. I'm on a constant see-saw battle with myself daily! One day I want to cancel and the next day I want to hang in there! lol They've already told me they're happy to refund my deposit, so that's not an issue. Thing is, I'm not on PCP/lease etc - so there's no absolute NEED to have...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    Buying a new car should be a brilliant and exciting "event" "Should" being the operative word! Audi have made my buying experience nothing short of miserable and frustrating. From the second that I signed on the dotted line its been utter *****. Its been that long now (six months and...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    Yep, every bit of information that I’ve had has come from this brilliant group of people on this forum. Absolutely NOTHING from My dealer and nothing from Audi UK. Utterly disgraceful. I’m so annoyed with myself for sticking with my order, because I would love to tell Audi to shove it up their...

    Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

    Audi does not give a **** about their customers. Make no mistake. There has been no information, timescales or apologies for the WLTP debacle. The continued silence is deafening. Audi’s answer to it is,”if you don’t like it, cancel your order”. They simply don’t care. They know there’s a...
