Was this one of the initial demo cars that would by now have fairly high milleage? If not, that's an incredible deal!

Can you cancel a sold order from a dealer? by alobar

Hey Audi peeps -- i ordered my A3 in early May from a dealer here in CA (Lava gray, open sky, xenon, premium pkg, sound) , with the express understanding that it would be here EASILY within 3 months, within plenty of time for me to take it on a long-planned road trip in late July. Now, one month later, I'm told it won't arrive until late *September*, over two months later that I was told. I know those Germans take long summer vacations, but geez.
 
My question: what's the customer's rights re: sold orders? Can I cancel it? Take my biz elsewhere can get the car much sooner from another dealer who has one in stock (or will have, sooner)? The CA dealer hasn't charged me anything for the order yet, and I've put no money down. Am i stuck?
 
thanks!

No money changing hands, no deal..
 
You didn't order anything off the wall, so they'll have no trouble selling it, so no harm done..
 
But, make sure you have your alternate plans in place.. Once you are sure of buying a car somewhere else, call them and cancel. You have every right, as the car was not delivered in the time frame promised (not even close).
 
They will try to talk you out of it, so listen to what they have to say, but if it isn't acceptable, then just tell them no thanks... you have no obligation.
 
regards,
kyfdx

Thanks for the reply! I'm now being told the reason for the shipping delay is that ALL new A3s are being fitted with Bluetooth, as a standard option, which has pushed back production on all A3s slated for US delivery. Not sure how true this is, as it seems unlikely that adding Bluetooth would add 6 weeks to the production schedule. Anyone else heard this?

I just checked with my dealer on the status of my presold order. I ordered May 7 and was originally told August 22 was worst case date for delivery. Now the worst case date has been moved to August 15 and the general manager told me it would probably be last of July or first of August. Didn't say anything about Bluetooth but I didn't ask because I just heard it here.

I ended up getting mine off the lot, but in talking with my dealer, he said that their ordered vehicles were coming in much more quickly than expected, which is why I was surprised to see your post. It could be that your dealer is just being overly conservative on delivery, but I would definitely shop around to other dealers and see what else is out there.

I got an even worse lease offer today -- $3500 due at lease inception. MSRP is $30,035. I have five months to go on my current lease ($2020), so that was rolled in. Factor is .00227. Monthly payment is $513.80.
 
I emailed back that I'd discuss it further next year when the car isn't as new and availability isn't so tight and Audi has a lease program, yadda yadda...

How come they are discounting on a new model? by got_vtec

Is it just because it's not going to be a big seller in the US (being a hatchback and all)?
