Long delays for new orders due to WLTP emissions testing

[Killieboy1965]

Let’s hope that we are nearing the end of this sorry tale of delivery of a car.

Hopefully most of us will have a car by the end of the week if not next week.

It has been a long road and frustrating at times.

Having seen the pictures of the Black A4 above, I am beginning to wish I had copped for that now....but maybe when I get mine I will be more than happy with it.

Please keep us all posted on events this week.

Good luck guys.

I'm actually hoping that mine will be delayed a little longer so I can get a '19 plate but I can fully appreciate why so many are so frustrated (ordered May 25th - 2.0ltr TDi 190 BE Avant)

This is why forums are a good source of information and why we all sign up to them...

Got some great tips/info across the years and also contributed what I've learned/heard as well. You get back what you put in, like most things in life...

So another day goes by and, despite my dealer saying they’ll send them, I’ve not received the finance docs to sign - they’ve also not agreed the final compensation bits and bobs, nor the PX value I’ve queried. Looks like I won’t have my new car tomorrow...

I was told I can collect and PX my current car tomorrow, but I think that might be unlikely now

 

[Raees patel]

Anyone heard anything from their dealers?

 

[RyanA4.87]

Nothing yet. Going to wait until lunchtime and chase. Sold my old A4 yesterday so don’t have a car right now..... so it can’t come quick enough

 

[Killieboy1965]

Not a jot yet and I am not holding my breath!!!

For those that have gone down the PCP route has Audi mentioned if they will be using the latest interest rates?

My dealer has always stated that my price is protected, however I see the interest rates on finance agreements has improved since my order was placed. Just wondering if anyone has been able to negotiate the better interest rate. (May 2018 5.5%, currently 4.9%).

Couldn't tell you for sure on the interest rates but it's definitely worth asking. Between when I ordered my car and signing the finance papers the overall cost reduced by about £200 because my options had since been rolled into a package and discounted, I pointed this out and they gave me that much credit to spend in the dealership so my son's car seat was essentially free.

Just chased and the deadlership.

“All a4’s Ordered since April need to be updated on the system by Audi finance as they are all now model year 19 and are a different price. There are thousands of cars so I am guessing this is taking a while”

I am so sick of this.

Hi All - And Happy New Year! So pleased so see some cars are landing.

Alas the saga with my car continues - it is still at the port, where it has sat since the end of October. According to the dealer, mine was amoungst the first to arrive, however some procedural issue has prevented it from moving onto the next stage (i.e. on to the back of a transporter!). They are investigating, however for the time being, Grimsby does not want to let it go.

Delivery this week now looking unlikely.

Yep... I’m literally just of the phone with the dealer and they’ve said not today! Again some crap about agency approval

From what I’ve just been told Audi have a 5 working day turnaround from when you request approval... apparently I’ll be good by Wednesday but we’ll wait and see! Seems like the 5 day turnaround is really a myth!

It’s not even the wait it’s the lack of communication from Audi. I have for the last nine months been chasing and just been getting fobbed off. This will be my third Audi (if I ever get it!) and the whole process has made me doubt if I will get a fourth! Wife got a new a class in November and it was delivered in three weeks service was amazing.

Delivery confirmed for Friday to my house for the new car.. finally - and the collection of the old...

Nice mate. Are both exhausts real?

 

[cuke2u]

Looks great! Happy your torture is over, now for the rest of us!

Have we not already established that not everyone reads every post.

Let’s not set a precedent that a question already answered is given short thrift.

 

[cuke2u]

However I answered the question, is this not enough?

Mate your responses are normally read the manual etc, some people just want an instant answer without taking time to find it in a book.

It's worth a good read, you, and others, might gain some knowledge from it.... ;-)

Would appreciate anyone who has got the new 2.0 tfsi manual engine for first opinions given that this may be my preferred option given its now the only manual available.

Finally collected my car today. No pics yet as it was dark. It drove beautifully though. (2.0 TFSI BE S-tronic)

So I got the rate that was agreed at the time of order, this 2.9% with the same deposit contribution as when I ordered end of May. Everything absolutely fine and as agreed, plus a few minor perks. The dealerships certainly aren’t the evil guys here, it’s just that Audi have had major problems and unfortunately the dealerships have therefore basically had to write 2018 off.
