any idea why the delaer won't let me order the exact car I want?
I've been trying to list down the exact options that I want on my new TTC225, but the dealer told me that he can not order the exact same car I want. why is that?
How will I be able to add a lot of the option packages on the car then if it doesn't come with the car??

My guess is that they have a car coming in that is not already presold
and they want to give it to you. I didn't run into this problem when I ordered my TT225 QC. I picked Colors and options. You should try a different dealer. If they are a pain in the *** now, how do you think they will be after they have your money?
Good luck.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=4741">

Did he give you a delivery date? (more)
Big dealer, small dealer?
Is he getting other models? FWD's Roadsters?<p><A HREF="mailto:jbipes@mtn.org"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/bipecott.gif" BORDER=0 alt="Jeff Bipes"></a>

I'd find another dealer. My guess is that your dealer wants to maximize profits by maximizing
options. Also, if he orders for you a TT in its most popular configuation, it would be easier to sell it to a walk-in customer than a special order might be, in the eventuality that you back out of the deal.<p>Desert Green TTQ, H&R Springs, BBS wheels, Borla

Look at the bright side...
At least they are telling you straight up what they will get you. My dealer (and I'm not the only one) took my order, then blamed Audi for building the wrong car.
If the exact options are important to you, find a different dealer. If you're willing to wait, you should be able to order exactly what you want. Make sure the dealer gives you a copy of the order sheet, though.<p><B>Pat R</B> -- Arlington, Virginia<i>

my dealer
My dealer is a dealer at Kentucky.
It's Blue Grass Motorsport.
Anyone have experience buying cars from this dealer?
They didn't really give me much information about when my car will be there.
Is it possible to add all the option packages after the car gets here. If it doesn't come with the car?<p>Jason.TT

Options added after the car is here? Don't think so...(more)
Wheels and Bos, OK, but not the Zenon's, nor the heated seats. Too expensive.<p><A HREF="mailto:jbipes@mtn.org"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/bipecott.gif" BORDER=0 alt="Jeff Bipes"></a>

Not much info about the car you ordered?? (more)
Did you at leats put down a deposit?
What car do you want?
What options?
It sounds like this is a small dealer, that gets infrequent allocations. They may be getting a "car" from Audi, to be delivered in like July or August, and the dealer may not have any say in what it is. For example, I found a dealer in a smaller city, 85 miles from my home city, that was getting an allocation for *one* 225QR. It was black/black/black, with all options 'cept the nav and phone. It was unspoken for, and the order had to be placed within a few days, or the dealer would loose the allocation. I thought about it for like a day, was able to change to the color and options I wanted, and it is now scheduled for build week 18 (next week), for delivery in late June.
This may be a similar deal with your dealer. Ask a few more questions, regarding their allocaton, and what type of car they can order, or are getting. I'll bet it's a similar story to mine.<p><A HREF="mailto:jbipes@mtn.org"><img SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/bipecott.gif" BORDER=0 alt="Jeff Bipes"></a>

dealer and German sales man.
I drove about 120miles to find a larger dealer in
Kentucky. The dealer is big alright. THey also sell Porsche and Mercedez.
The sales man that I am dealing with is actually a German Porsche and Audi sales man that came here for more business experience.
He is always keeping up to date with the latest info on my TT. I guess it should be fine.
I hope it's possible to add other options if the car didn't come with it.
thanks for your help.<p>Jason.TT
