How long between build week and delivery?

[MikeFish]

What is the rough time between the build week and actually taking delivery? I appreciate this can vary quite a bit.

It is currently showing as in the panel Shop with the build week set for next week. Is there much chance of getting it before xmas?

[MikeFish]

Also, when using the build tracker on Audi's website, how accurate is the spec bit at the bottom? I'm guessing this is just a rough guide and bears little resemblance to the final car as there are numerous errors showing?

Work on 8 weeks. But can be several months, I waited three months.

[MikeFish]

Ok thanks doodlebug. Looking unlikely to see it before Xmas then.

Also depends on how mad you've gone on the extras.
What have you gone for?

[MikeFish]

Not me, it's the missus with her RS3.
It was just over £7k worth of options; off the top of my head it was the usual stuff like wider wheels, mag ride, sports exhaust, reverse camera, sat nav (smaller one), B&O, mirrors etc

3-5 weeks to the UK depending on where the car is being built... Ie Q3 is 5 week as built in Spain.
Options can delay the car, exclusive paint can take an extra 6 weeks.
I know RS3 is in high demand and Audi has stopped building demo and showroom cars to concentrate on customer orders.
Hope this is of some use.

[MikeFish]

Yes thank you. You're not wrong about high demand. She ordered at the beginning of July and after 2 months got a build week during April next year, then recently was told of a cancellation bringing the build forward to November.

our new motor arrives in port on monday a month early and should have it by the weekend the dealer said

we were told 8 weeks from ordering and only took 1 day to get a build date

not sure if its model or dealer that changes the length of delivery

[DW123]

Dealers are given allocation on each model and they can choose to an extent how many of each model they have; ie if they are particularly strong on a certain model they will have more of their allocation. Furthermore they also order cars for stock which become showroom cars, demonstrators etc.
When you order a car the dealer will either try to amend an allocated build slot (one that is meant for stock, demo etc) if the brand allows it (usually ~6 weeks before the car is due to be built) or in the case of RS3 where all build slots are taken it will be a factory order where by it will go in to a queue and built as soon as Audi can. As previously alluded with RS3 Audi has actually stopped production of stock, showroom and demo cars to focus on customer orders.
