2013 Allroad Ordered - negotiation and ordering question
Last week I pulled the trigger, put down a $1k deposit and ordered an allroad. This will be my first Audi and first car ever ordered.
I ordered a Scuba Blue, chestnut brown, P+, Nav, B&O, Natural wood, & sports pkg.
I offered 5.5% off MSRP (excluding tax, tag & title) and it was accepted. Good deal or no?
So my question is I don't know when the arrival time frame will be.
One sketchy thing to me is that my sales guy said that orders wouldn't be submitted to Audi until toward the end of the month when the allocations are meant to be filled. He made it sound like they have allocations currently but that they hold off submitting it to Audi till the end of the month (June)...
Does that sound right to anyone that has gone through this process? There were a couple of allroads already in the dealer's queue.
I feel like I'm being held up for 2-3 weeks so that the dealer could get a better deal allocated first (I don't feel like I'm getting a great deal, just a good one).
Or should I shut up, stop worrying and enjoy the wait?
Also, if anyone can find a picture of a scuba blue allroad, please share!

I just got my allroad 2 days ago. It comes to 7% discount off the sticker price and Audi Care thrown in as well.
I thought about ordering it. They said it would take 90 days from the time they take my deposit. I ended up getting one off the lot because 90 days would have taken me past the end date for my current lease. The one I got was close enough (monsoon gray, gray leather + black carpets, instead of brown leather).
So it looks like your deal isn't too far off. Maybe work them into getting Audi Care thrown in as well.

I've had my new allroad (traded my 2011 S5) for a few weeks and love it. Used Vag-Com to show gear when in D or S (S7, etc. instead of just S) and to make Individual mode the default on startup. Also had APR Carbonio cold air intake system installed. Waiting for G.I.A.C. to update software for 2013's.
I really need to figure out the vag-com stuff. that sounds like a good addition there. I also need to figure out how to use the S mode in D/S!
