Ordered my new [heavily loaded] new A3 on 7th Jan (a Saturday). Dealer placed the order on Monday 9th - can see the order in YourAudi order tracker. It has sat at the "Welcome / your order has arrived at the factory in Ingoldstat" status for over a week now, i.e. not even moved onto the "Order Received" stage.
I am guessing I am going to get shafted with a long wait for a build slot. The only reason for asking is that I ordered my current A3 on about the 4th Jan some 4yrs ago and got a week 8 build slot & took delivery in the 1st week in March.
If the delivery rolls over to April (new tax rules) I am not over bothered - other than wanting the car asap - as it's written on the order form for £330 extra discount on the price to cover 3yrs difference in the road tax for any delivery date after 1st April.
