New Q7 on Order

**Gemmadoll** · 24-03-2017,11:54 AM

When we went to buy it was one of the first things they told us so we were keen to avoid from day 1. Our dealer have promised to cover the difference as they said it would be here well before 1st April and then started to backtrack. I would still like it this week though just to avoid the hassle but my background hasn't even changed from 38 to 39 since the 19th so I'm thinking it's stuck in emden. They can register them as soon as they hit the UK so hopefully they can do they for us .

My dealer was also quick to point out the increase when I initially went into the showroom but in all fairness he did say it would be touch and go as to the car being here and registered before the 1st April.

My Audi page still hasn't changed from left the factory almost 2 weeks ago. I am hoping there is just some system delay, background info still showing 38 since 19th. I didn't expect it to be stuck at emden for this long, I expected any delays to be in the UK.

Looks great.Same Colour and wheels as mine - only your one is a SQ7 of course. Really do need mine to get on the road from Tyneside!!

yes, keep having a tinker!
I didn't have the dynamic pack as it was 'another' £5k I couldn't really justify. The car is OTT in most ways anyway, and having driven it I really can't imagine how I'd benefit from being able to go round corners 'even faster'.
First impressions are positive and having just come from a BiTdi A6 16 plate, it's a nice step up. Thanks for the comment
