Oh wow, this is very helpful news, thanks for the info. I was thinking that if I placed in my order this Saturday that would have a delivery month of April, but I guess that's not the case. Rj, how long did you put your order in until you received your build date?

Even now they are still non existent, that's why we are going the factory order route. Everything that is at dealerships now has a bunch of added on option packages that I can do without.
Btw, I can really use some knowledge transfer here as this is my first time doing a factory order from Audi. But when I spoke to Audi Brooklyn the other day the salesman told me that if it's a factory order, I would have to pick 2 accessories and that it comes with the standard price. I personally think that was a crock of ish, but again this is my first time doing a factory order from Audi and not sure if that is really a thing with them. Thanks for any knowledge you can throw my way.

Thanks for the input Oleaudi. It looks like for you from order to delivery it took about 4 months.
Yeah that's exactly why my wife and I decided to go that route. I figured the additional stuff outside of the items we really wanted were more a nice to have rather than a "yeah I really need that". Get to save on a few thousand bucks at that. Fingers crossed we can actually find the right dealer and put in an order tomorrow.

I've ordered several Audi's. I've never had to order any of the overpriced port-installed options like the $125 phone cables or the like. I have ordered things like the protection packages (car mats) since I wanted to be sure that I had them on day 1 and the savings (compared with buying them from the parts counter) wasn't material relative to the cost of the car. You should be able to configure the car exactly how you want it (within the parameters of the order guide). Have your advisor enroll you in the owner in waiting program and get a copy of the order sheet. Then you can also check in periodically for updates. After your car is built, my experience has been that shipping dates can move (either way) but once you know its on a ship, you should be able to reasonably predict within a week the arrival of your car (assuming no extraordinary events such at port holds). Good luck. My Q8 was just under $79k - Prestige with cold weather package. That was it and this particular one I purchased off the lot at the end of October.

Feel free to drop me a line, I am sure I can get one for you in relatively short order. Have sold several cars to forum members, and I'm in PA
You do not have to pick any accessories

Appreciate it Scarguy. If things fall through this weekend with some of the dealers I've been talking to I'll gladly hit you up. Would you be able to tell me which dealership you work for in PA? (You can message me directly if you don't want that out in the public).
