StanleyRanger Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hey guys First time posting here but looking for some advice. In October '21 I ordered an RSQ3 Audi Sport Edition through main dealer and have had no end of trouble. Build week has now moved 3 times from late 21 through to July 22, which I've been patient with given the current situation. However... I've just had an email from the dealership to say they don't have the parts for the Dark Tinted Matrix LED headlights and so are replacing with standard LED front and rear lights, rear dynamic indicators (no front dynamic indicators and DRL. The email also says they're expecting parts to be available to resume manufacturing with the Matrix option in half 2 of 2022 but my dealer says my order will be automatically amended as its in progress. In my mind this is a pretty massive change as those are options that are standard with the trim level I ordered but more importantly individually cost around £3-4k as an extra. What should I be looking for here in terms of the order? I'm concerned that when it comes time to sell/replace the car it will be worth signifantly less and will be a bit of an odd specimen. What would you guys do in my situation? Cheers in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 This is a major change. If it were me I'd be looking at a discount from the order, you change spec entirely or cancel the order. The chip shortage is getting ridiculous now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleyRanger Posted February 15, 2022 Author Share Posted February 15, 2022 They have offered £400 compensation but that feels like a really poor offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Definitely. I'm sure they'll raise it if you say you'll cancel the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
