Default ordered an A4

Does anyone really know how long it takes to get an Audi A4. I ordered mine on Nov. 4 and was told it would take about 2 months. My dealer called yesterday to tell me I'm getting the revised A4 99.5. I just read on the Vortex web site these A4's will arrive in February. Help! Does it really take that long? I'm thinking I should change the color so I can get it sooner.<br> Thanks for any replies.<br> Karen

I ordered my '99 on August 17. The car was delivered to my dealer October 20. Two months was a very accurate estimate in my case, but I've heard they can take longer. When you think about it, two months from order -Ingolstadt factory-ship-port-truck-dealer is a pretty impressive feat. <p>What color did you order? Thinking about taking one off the lot?<br>

I am with TGB - waiting 3 months , 2 weeks now. However, August the factory was closed - no<br>production, so that was one of the months. Time period all depends on options you order -<br>sometimes the dealer can change a car already in the schedule to match what you want and<br>you will get it sooner - probably what happened in the case of the guy who got his car in two<br>months. Also the demand for these cars is high, In my case, the Sept 98 production was <br>already spoken for, and none could be modified to match what I wanted, so mine was built in<br>Oct and is now sitting on the dock in Houston TX.

Default The better the car the longer the wait...

I sell high-line cars, and believe me, you will wait. Thats part of the reason Diamler had to deal with Chrysler, it was taking too long to get a car...<p>Think about how long you will have it. If you plan on keeping it for a while then wait and get everything you want, even color.

<br>I ordered mine on October, 30 and it missed the January production schedule.<br>It is supposed to be build in February which means I should get the car in<br>early April at the latest.<p>If your dealer says 2 months then he probably changed a car which was already<br>scheduled for January production, which is the first month for the 99.5

Default Re: ordered an A4

I ordered red with black leather interior, but I am so anxious I am thinking about a different color. It seems there are no red ones in the state of CA. Maybe red is alittle too flashy. There are plenty of silver and black ones around. I could handle 2 months, but it may just give me too much time to change my mind. The car I have ordered has the cold weather package and they don't usually send those cars to CA, according to my dealer, so... the hang-up was the red and heated seats. Oh well, gives me plenty of time to read up. Do you think the dealer would let me have an owners manual to read for 2 months?!
