Hiya Mate,

Thanks
Yeah quite excited as I haven't seen many 3 doors in Ara with 19" alloys either, I'll be sure to post so pictures up once collected next week :smiley:

I've heard from CS it can wait for 15 working days and Sunday isn't a working day so its got until Saturday the 20th to be shipped . So in total I will of waited 19 days by then! Bit a joke seeing as it left the factory 23/04. Add on another 10 days when it eventually gets to the uk and it be knocking on for around 40 days. So unlikely I will get it this month .
 
I live in Hull. Which is 50 minutes away from the car in Grimsby.

Speaking to my salesman today he said the car will be at the dealers before Friday and he's going to try get me in it for Friday. The GAP is scheduled to start on Friday.

It's frustrating. But I guess I can't really do much about it. :)

Feel for you mate :/ dont forget though the track is also 2-3 days behind so even when it does update its still in front of what you think.

Hi

As you can see, new to the forum. Seemed like this was the most active forum with respect to the S3 - always good when needing somewhere else to go other than the dealer for advice or when friends and family are bored of brattling on about how excited I am to be getting or get (when it finally arrives) a new car.

I've previously owned a couple of 'S' cars (S4 B6 Saloon and S4 B7 Avant); the latter of which was part exchanged for my wife's A3 Sport 150. So I had the itch (needed something to replace her old MINI Cooper D) and decided to push the boat out and order a new S3 Sportback. Order was made mid Jan 2017...yes - it's been a long wait. I'm lead to believe this length of wait is now normal across the A3/S3 range.

Order tracker suggests car will commence build on Monday next week.

Spec as follows

Black Edition Sportback
Ara Blue
19" V Spokes
Matrix LEDs
Super sports seats in fine nappa (black)
Tech Pack
Model deletion
40/20/40 rear bench split
Extended Leather
Folding auto-dimming mirrors
Advanced key
Virtual cockpit
Hill hold assist
Park assist
Red callipers
Rear side airbags

Honestly, cannot wait.

Dealer experience has been good thus far. Which is no surprise, the guy I've been dealing with in the sports department is a car nut, so the conversation flows easily (would be a good excuse for the long spec list, but I had this all figured out when I walked in to order the car). Helpful and fairly flexible when it comes to negotiating a deal.

I'll scour the forum for information on the following; dealer options/requests to try on (freebies?!), GAP insurance, running in period, first service, known faults quirks, unknown tricks / cool things not easily found or readily identified. Any advice off the bat would be appreciated in any respect.

Hope to bring you some updates over the next couple of weeks and pictures on delivery

Cheers

Hi Craig

:welcome!: to the forum :) Yes - it's fair to say the exciting about pending car arrivals is high in this thread! Like you say, it's nice to be able to share your excitement with people who don't mind it! As you can see, the order process is somewhat of a mixed bag, and your experience seems to be based on solar alignment and the length of your big toes nail!

Hopefully, you're not left waiting too long when your order is placed.

Hi Mike

Thanks for the welcome. As I say, order was placed mid January, so 5 months so far, with a build to commence next week. Expecting that it'll be with me mid June. Fortunately life is fairly busy so have been to able to be occupied with other things than just wondering where the order is at...although that hasn't stopped me logging in to the tracker every day :neutral:

Finally!! Now, fingers crossed it's not at the IL dock for too long!

I know you've had a rough time of it. But hope you still enjoy the unveil and the drive!

Good luck for stage 70.

Having them build a car in 5 days then taking so long for it to arrive is torturous but I guess the docks have a much bigger job to deal with! I also wonder if some destinations are getting more cars then others hence the delays some of us are getting.

I made sure Hull Audi put in the transport request on Monday tho...

Yesterday I had to go in and do the paperwork. They said they hope to have me in it by a week on Friday!

Go quickly! Mine has been ready since 4th May but they did not tell me! It's sitting at the Audi Forum in Ingolstadt and now I don't have time to go collect it until the week after Nuerburgring 24H :fearscream::disrelieved:

You'll probably find it will move forward (an back) a few times before the end of next month

Tho, there seems to be long delays on models with less doors!

Hope your wait isn't to long. What is a Friday car? Never heard that before
 
The eye on the clock on a Friday, things get rushed and quality was not exactly on the agenda (if it ever was) :expressionless:

...certainly things have changed these days with automotive production - automation and built in quality controls being major factors of course

Ah, I get you now, a bit like when they building houses, the builders are in a rush to get to the pub on a Friday and make a mess and doing point the brickwork properly and in no fit state to do the job again on a Monday. Lol. :)
