6 month lead time for UK orders

Visited dealer today and they confirmed June 2011 earliest delivery date for any new UK orders due to demand (I think the Q5 suffers similar lead time in UK), glad mine is scheduled!

Also spotted first F25 on the road, I thought it was an X5 until it had passed and noticed rear end

I ordered early November with confirmed delivery date of early April

Jan order for March delivery sounds optimisitic unless your dealer has build slots allocated that they can change to your order specification

Let us know what your dealer says

What business are you in? We do a reasonable amount of business in Kenya.

Ouch! Glad I got in relatively early but end of Feb delivery would still be 4 months since order date of Oct 25 or 3 months after official UK launch date. US orders seem to get into production more quickly but I guess they are making them for us!

I can confirm Audi Q5 was 6 months lead time back in October.

I'm still yet to see one. I'm not spending enough time on the road. That said, it would be good if the first one I saw on the road was mine!

Thanks and enjoy! The very thought of champagne is making me feel worse! Not easy getting a babysitter for tonight, we had the same problem. Jools Holland for us if I can stay awake!

That could be a tad optimistic I'm afraid. They do seem to give you optimistic estimates. I was originally told end of Dec and now it's mid Feb (ordered end Oct). The wait is a royal pain in the ass!

The only manufacturer-owned dealership in the UK told me May-June ... and that was 3 weeks ago. When I tried my local dealerships they didn't even have confirmed allocations.

I spoke to that dealership too, I was asking about probably delivery dates of the 3.0d.
I was a bit skeptical. They said (or implied) how they were given preferential over other dealerships in terms of allocation. The cynic in me, thought they were overstating it, but i don't know how much true there is in it really - I only have their word right?
The other dealers gave the same estimated production/delivery date periods and have have thus far provided more information.
