When Did You Order?

**MackemMan** · 27-04-2008,03:14 PM

I need some help please.

My order went in on 15th March & I have had no feedback from my dealer. I was told at the time of the order that I was looking at a week 21 build.

Last time I spoke to the salesman, about 3 weeks ago, he said the order had not been confirmed.

I have tried to see him (but he was doing an exam!), & thought I had arranged to see him today - but he wasn't in when I called. This is all so different to when he was chasing me prior to the order.

My next plan is to see him on Tuesday.

If you ordered your A4 around the time of mine & have confirmed dates can you please post them. This will help me get a picture of what I should be saying to the dealer & the type of information I should be getting from him.

Send me a PM if it is easier.

Cheers

I ordered mine at the end of Febuary, and the car came at the end of last month. I got an e-mail from the salesman telling me when the car was being built, when it was entering the UK, and the moment it arrived at the garage. They were very good about it.

similarly, I have to say my sales guy has been pretty good too. I ordered mine 10th March and I pick up next week. he's kept in touch throughout the process and the car was built when he said it would be.

My advice would be to start laying down the law with your sales guy!!!

I ordered my 1.8TFSi Multitronic Avant on 10 March but as of last week still no build date despite a number of phone calls and e mails to the dealer.

On the order form it says "Middle June" for delivery but I would have thought this is looking increasing unlikely unless I am given a May build date in the very near future.

I am wondering whether there is a delay on the multitronics ?

Interesting point. Has anyone else ordered multitronic? Are they finding their dates longer than manual gearbox cars?

My 2.0TDI was ordered at the end of March. had a call from the dealer yesterday, telling the build date is 1st week of June, with delivery estimated to be 3rd week June.

So Arval ahve cocked up (what a surprise). They ahd originally said that 1st week June delivery would be no problem.

I am still waiting for mine

I ordered it on the 12th Feb and according to the dealer (who has been good) it is sitting on the dock awaiting shipment.

Quite why I have had to wait so long is unclear, but it would appear that it is par for the course. Clearly some people have had a quick delivery and others have waited longer than me.

I still see very, very few around so I am looking forward to turning a few heads when it arrives

I got a car that was already in group stock so can't give you much help but if I was in your position I'd be complaining to the sales manager and telling them you're cancelling the order unless they get you the info you want. If your guy isnt available there's no reason why someone else in the dealership can't help you.

I think it sometimes helps to remind dealers whose money pays their wages
