Poor Pedro and his S3 saga

newbiecrg said:

Well my S3 is a left hand drive for several reasons but I won't make the same mistake again!!!!

The car arrived at the dealers almost 3 weeks ago!!!! They have changed the Xenons to UK spec (these ones are for sale by the way...) and did not managed to get me a number plate yet!!!!!!!!

3 weeks to get the ****** certificate of conformity from Audi UK and still not got it! If I was that competent in my job like this I was fired! The salesman is a nice guy and is not in his hands, another person is dealing with that, but, please get on with it!

Because I ordered left hand drive I had to give a nice sum of money as a deposit (this was in end of November) and it is collecting interest for them...

I'm starting to loose my patience... this Saturday I'll go there and see what is happening... ****** off!!

To be honest normski, I'm just feed up of my car being in the dealer since beginning of March to get ****** plates. They took 3 weeks to get a Certificate of Conformity from Audi UK that I could have done myself, free of charge, from Audi Germany (like a friend from the forum told me and I verified...)

Just feed up of not getting the car and it's just an S3, nothing exotic... If I knew I had to wait I would have waited more for something more special... not a ****** A3! Anyway I know I will forget all this as soon as I get to drive it...

If I get rid of the S3 I will place a deposit either on the new M3 or on an S5 instead but not worried about it... What happened is that all this fuss and lack of interest has put me off of my S3...

I ordered mine, car is still at the dealers to register... 2 weeks now... just because it's a left hand drive... I don't think they are Recaros, at least I've not seen any inscription in the seats... But that doesn't mean they aren't. I think they are not but your Audi costumer service can find that out for you.

I'm not too concerned about that...

What I found is dealers are not prepared/informed how to register, in my case, a left hand drive. Mine is a ridiculous case! 3 weeks the car has been sitting at the dealers, they only managed to send the correct forms/paperwork to the VCA last thursday, now I'm waiting on them to give the go, so best of best only have my car end of next week, if that... it is just ridiculous, If I treated the paperwork myself I would be driving it today for sure....

I hat to wait 3 months for the car to arrive at the dealers... But I'm waiting 3 weeks since then to get plates...

6 months seems excessive...
