Oooooh, less than wholesale!  :-)  How MUCH less?  It better
be considerable!

When I put money down on my A4Q in Feb, the car was "due in
three weeks".  Well, they goofed.  There was no car that
matched what I wanted.  They tried (feebly, IMO) to locate one.
Couldn't.  They ordered one, and it took way longer than it
should have.  Four months later to the day, I had my car.
But not after some major words with the dealership.  I said
that I my car better show up in F-status.  "F-status?".  Yeah.
F as in Free.  Free CD changer, Free remote locks, and Free
ski sack.  There was much balking.  He called back the next day
and said "OK.  F-status."

Just another data point.
