S6 release date
#11
The last correspondence was: We don't have any dates yet, but we think it's somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I think that's BS.

I ordered mine 7/28, and still I don't have any dates. I think my dealer is screwing me. I have fleet pricing, plus owner loyalty. They can make more money with someone new off the street. How do I call AoA and confirm/deny my suspicions? I'm tired of the antics, and I'm thinking of dropping my order. Any ideas I would appreciate.

Cars.com lists an S6 at one of my local dealers. The one I've ordered mine from said that the other dealer's S6 won't be in until the 31st (the other dealer lists the VIN). My dealer also said they have an S6 coming in on the 31st. Mine is due in port on 9/26 to arrive 10/8. I'm not sure why mine is so far out since I ordered in April!
EDIT: The car arriving on 8/31 was a "market introduction vehicle" that dealers get that were put into production in March. I take this to mean that most (larger?) dealers will get an S6 to show at the end of this month.

On the ordering side of the equation, all "orders" placed before early July weren't really orders, but either "pre-orders" or just nonsense. Dealers couldn't place orders in the system until the "pre-order" date, which if I recall correctly was on or about 7/9/12.
They did, however, have information about their allocations, which they were free to offer to customers. So, say your dealer knew they were getting 5 cars in the first shipment, they could earmark one for you, get your desired config, and put the order in that way once they could, on or about the 9th of July. "Ordering" in March just means that you were early in the running for an allocated car.

Or maybe they're just aloof. Deposits are refundable, by the way, even if the car is sitting in the dealer's lot - right up until you sign the paperwork. If you don't like them, take your business elsewhere!

They might not be feeding you a line of BS. I went in June 23rd and had the order changed to what I wanted. They ordered another S6 a day or two after that and the salesman said they still don't have any info on when that car will be produced or delivered.

However once your car that you have specifically ordered has started being built then your deposit is non refundable because the dealer is ordering the car to your taste and not everyone would want to buy that..
Many times if the build of the car that you have ordered is pretty simple/generic then the dealer is ok with a refundable deposit. For a car as expensive as this , this usually is not the case
