Default 2013 Allroad Ordered - and ordering question

I mentioned it in a different thread but didn't want to hijack it.

Last week I pulled the trigger, put down a $1k deposit and ordered an allroad. This will be my first Audi and first car ever ordered.
I ordered a Scuba Blue, chestnut brown, P+, Nav, B&O, Natural wood, & sports pkg.
I offered 5.5% off MSRP (excluding tax, tag & title) and it was accepted. Good deal or no?

So my question is I don't know when the arrival time frame will be.
One sketchy thing to me is that my sales guy said that orders wouldn't be submitted to Audi until toward the end of the month when the allocations are meant to be filled. He made it sound like they have allocations currently but that they hold off submitting it to Audi till the end of the month (June)...
Does that sound right to anyone that has gone through this process? There were a couple of allroads already in the dealer's queue.

I feel like I'm being held up for 2-3 weeks so that the dealer could get a better deal allocated first (I don't feel like I'm getting a great deal, just a good one).

Or should I shut up, stop worrying and enjoy the wait?

Also, if anyone can find a picture of a scuba blue allroad, please share!

I went through this exact same process. Got ibis white, p+, b&o, sport pk, advanced key, mmi, chestnut, oak. I got a good deal too. One difference though, the day after I put down my deposit, I had etas from the factory saying that my dock departure date is around aug 11 and my estimated dealer deliver date is sep 11. They also confined that the factory has received the order. I wa amazed how fast the dealer+factory worked on this. I think your dealer can place it whenever unless they have already used up their quota for custom orders.

Nice buy though. I loved the test drive.

I got 3% so not as good as yours, but still feel like I at least I got something. I placed the order on June 26th.

Since my first post I did receive a call with some dates. In short the order was placed on the 6/16 (deposit placed on the 3rd). Tentative delivery date of Oct 1, possibly the last week of Sept.

Nemteanu,
I hope you post pictures - I cant wait to see it!
Very curious to see what the oak will look like with chestnut brown.

Whoops, my bad, I meant the natural Ash. I don't think the layered oak will look good with the brown, maybe the grey or beige. I got my woods mixed up. lol.
