Audi Newbie
Hi All,
I am sourcing my A4 Cab through a leasing firm (Lex) - the order was signed off and passed to my local dealership (Coventry Audi) on 1st August and immediately on the Lease firms intranet site I was able to see an estimated delivery date to the dealer of 19th October.
I wouldn't be able to collect my car from the dealer until December 17th as that is when my current Saab 9-3 is up for it's renewal so I wasn't too concerned when the build week was announced as week 47 and delivery date slipped back to 14th December as after a quick PDI I should be able to collect the car the following week in time for my Christmas break - I was smitten!
I was told yesterday by my leasing firm that delivery had now been pushed back until 10th January with no explanation as to why?
Is anyone else having problems with delivery periods? I am trying to work out where the fault lies on this, Audi, the dealer or Lex. This is now approaching 6 months from order to delivery which to me seems ridiculous, it's not like I am after an R8! Pretty sure that even Lamborghini can hand build and deliver in this kind of timescale!
Got to say that it is beginning to sour my experience with Audi, I am conscious that the new A4 will be out soon and no doubt the replacements for the A4 Cab will follow, be it an A4 or more likely just the A3 Cab and A5? Wanted to at least have a few months enjoyment before mine becomes the 'old model'.
