When did dealerships in the US start taking deposits for the M2?
My wife's just been offered the first RS3 in Texas, if she wants to put a deposit down. So their wait list is... 0, about 3 months before the model releases!
Considering this is seen as a direct competitor to the M2, I'm surprised that demand isn't already stronger Last edited by AndyinHou; 03-23-2017 at 11:52 AM.. Reason: Clarification! |

I called the day the car was announced and shown during the press conference in October of 2015 and most dealers I spoke to already had a couple of folks on their lists. All took deposits if I was willing to put them down. I ended up going on a couple of lists but got a car from the one dealer I called that didn't do a list at all so I got their second car.

Searching, I found an open allocation ~1500 miles away in November 2016 and had it shipped arriving in January 2017. Although I strongly prefer the M2 (6 speed manual), get her on the Audi waitlist. She must have some car enthusiast blood in her to go after a RS3! It's always a good thing when your spouse is on board with purchasing exciting vehicles!

Same as above. Placed a deposit end of October 2015 and was #4 on the list. Took delivery exactly one year later to the day in October 2016. Wait time should be significantly shorter now though.
