Unfortunately, it is confirmed that ALL A3 models including RS3 are delayed. No mention of week build or status at all making any difference.
It is down to the parking sensors and chips in the comfort & sound pack and driver assistance packs.
It is unclear what will happen to orders like mine that have unconfirmed build weeks (but build weeks nevertheless) as at no point does it say that build weeks make any difference.
I think we all have to wait a few days or a week and check back with dealers then as if there are REAL delays then my estimated build week of 35 will go backwards.

As we discussed this is from my dealer and backs up what others said.
The only inconsistency here is the part about build week cars being unaffected; however, the Audi bulletin to dealers says ALL CARS NOT BUILT.
But only a bit of patience will demonstrate if these delays are that bad for cars with estimated build weeks.
Out of curiosity, checked what WBAC would offer me for the car if sold within the next few days and that's £68,000. Madness. Bearing in mind I ordered before the 6% price increase so that would be a lot of money in my pocket and I don't see that changing any time soon.
That is weird i did try few launch edition and they are max 56
Also i did.try carbon green sportback.and it was 57
Me too, I was getting £55960 for a Launch car, but I wonder if WBAC are onto lots of people outting the same reg in?
It couldn't find my car by reg so I had to put details of it in manually.
With over 90 for sale maybe no one is buying from WBAC (or similar) at the moment?
must be error , look at this
if they offer high amount I will grab one of autotrader now , problem is there is loads of money waste at day one if i have to sell
yup RS 3 SALOON - RS 3 TFSI Quattro Carbon Black 4dr S Tronic [C+S]
weird but today dealer from scotland offer for my s3 40k trade in
i was in little shock maybe its about location
wow https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202203083312278 but rs without matrix and animation its just like my s3 hahha

£50.5k for my basic chrometastic spec.
More than I owe, less than its worth to me though which is mad after 7 weeks of ownership. In years gone buy I'd be 5k adrift in negative equity until 6 months had passed.
I feel really bad for the situation people are in with their orders but also very feel lucky to have the car.
I can't say any more other than it'll be worth the wait, the more I drive mine the more I appreciate how special it is. Not had these driving sensations since my 2017 370z Nismo and before that my UK Integra Type R DC2. The RS3 blows them both out the water which given it's a fast family car is incredible. The S3 didn't even come close on reflection.
Hang in there guys n girls.

Agree......
The attention it received this morning when i arrived at work
There's a nice stretch of road up in t'hills near me so I'm off out later to see how big the difference is compared to my FL car.
If I traded mine into WBAC at the price they offered me I'd have just over £20k in my back pocket which is madness. Would probably fetch more on AT too. Agree on the attention it gets, I've had so many people take pictures of it the first day it was on the road - thought it was maybe because it was the first 22 plate they have seen but it's continued every day since. Even older people too in their late 60s.Agree......

I can't recall my last RS3 getting this much attention but same as you Guys have noted, I've had a fair few thumbs up and comments on the car.
Saw a yoof snapping a pic of it last night in a public car park which I wasn't that enamoured about but I was told its common for the young uns of today with insta & whatever lol

That’s what I was about to say!
£55k for a standard car is almost bang on the RRP.

The base price pre increase was 51k iirc for a standard car.
And after 6% increase below
