Default About 4 weeks for me too

Dealer entered my sold order, but had to wait for an allocation. At that point they had the exact production week.

Default too long, and they tried to bullsh1t me on top of it.

I ended up calling another dealer and finding an available car in port....luckily, I still got the first one from that dealer.

Default My experience with Kathy is that her response is about as quick as pouring molasses.

Dealer says she ignores phone and email messages too.

Default They had me a car in 2 weeks. The wife was pissed!

Told her it would take 6-9 months. They called me 4 days later and said they had found one in-bound to another dealer, exactly as I had spec'd it. A few calls later, it was redirected.

After the driving the car a few times, she got over it!

Default 4 weeks from order to when I emailed to ask; 1.5 hours for Kathy to respond with the answer.

Then 1 more day for the welcome package to arrive via FedEx.

Default Please define "ETA"

The day I ordered, the "ETA" was 3-4 months. 3 months later, the official "ETA" was "it's on the boat". A month later (thanks to port delays), it finally showed up. German efficiency put it a month ahead of schedule and American ineficiency dalayed it a month. My dealer (and salesperson) totally sux. Once I even drove down there to ask face-to-face because they apparently didn't givea****. The result? "My sales manager is on vacation this week and he's the only one with access to the audi computer". I always knew more than my dealer by asking the knowledgeable and well-connected people on this messageboard. If only I could have ordered my audi from my BMW dealer.
