Default How long from order to delivery

Brand new member here. Excited to be back in an Audi (previously had A4 many years ago) and to have found this great board.

I'm still learning my way here, so please don't flame if this isn't the right place to post this.

On 7/22/2009, I ordered my 2010 Q5. Prestige, luxury package, blue exterior/tan interior, yummy. The dealier said that it could "change" one of its existing default "orders" to my configuration so that I wouldn't be put back at the end of the queue. Even with that, how long should I anticipate waiting before it's delivered?

They gave your order a spot in their production queue, and they are allowed to make adjustments in options colors, etc. until just before production. For me with a nearly identical vehicle to yours, it was exactly 8 weeks from the scheduled production date to delivery to the dealer. I think that's a typcial lead time from what i've seen here. It's also been metioned that customer factory orders take priority at the factory as they are 'sold' vehicles...

Wow, I'd be jumping out of my skin. Your patience is remarkable. There's something about once you finally pull the trigger and order the thing, the waiting tests the patience, at least for me.

I ordered in Mid July and I am taking delivery this week. My Q5 was put on a truck yesterday. The dealer found a pre-existing order for me.

I wouldn't be complaining too much about delivery time. Here in Australia I ordered my Q5 2 weeks ago, told I can expect delivery in Feb 2010.
