As Audi plants struggle to meet demand, buyers wait months for cars


The Volkswagen Group aims to be number one in worldwide sales, selling luxury and hopefully profits. To auto sales may reach zenith but Volkswagen have to make room for more Audi production.

Bloomberg reported that Audi fight to the demand for A3 and A6 will meet with the buyers to wait for three four months ago, take delivery of these models. Audi sales chief Peter Schwarzenbauer says Bloomberg that his factories running at full speed and that, if sales continue to grow, it is "hard to say how long it could take to reduce the waiting times."

So why not leave Audi car buyers for the likes of BMW and Mercedes-Benz? The line for other luxury makes in Germany can be as long. All three automakers reported record sales in January, and that's with the buyers waiting up to six months for hot new vehicles like the new BMW X3. While all three German luxury struggle to keep up with demand, experts say Audi is the most difficult point, with waiting times of up to two months longer than its competitors.

The Volkswagen Group is the problem in time? Since Audi reportedly contributed 47 percent of the total gains from VW for the last nine months should be eager to take execs about their cash cow.
