Thanks for the info

Also, you should by this point be able to get Audi's ETAs from your salesperson. They're not guarantees of course, but at least from what I've seen have generally been good ballpark figures so you have a reasonable idea of when it'll get to you (and where it'll be at at any given time). The dates could of course slip, but at the same time Audi's conservative on time from reaching port to the dealer so you should gain back time there (they'll likely estimate a couple weeks when it should be closer to a couple days to a week sort of timeframe).

I was checking on ETAs each Friday until my car left Germany (at which point it's down to the ETA for the ship itself, as Audi will just be updating the port arrival based on the ship schedules). Even with the shutdown in the way, I seem to recall my dates not shifting more than a week or two over the months I was waiting. So it was nice to have some idea of what to expect.

And of course the wait will be worth it once your S comes in, though I know that's little comfort now when you're in the waiting phase. Just remember that it could be worse: NorthValley waited something like 8-9 months for his since he's down in Chile. I can only imagine how agonizing that must've been (especially given the cost there and gambling on currency conversion rates), but I know he's thrilled with his S (as everyone I've seen has been).

I placed an order Nov 26, will get the delivery in the week of 2/9, according to the dealer. It could've been faster, had it not sat at the Germany port for 8 days, scheduled to be loaded this Sat 1/17.
Not bad for ~10 wks wait though.

At lest one of my dealers has agreed to take my trade-in at the time of the Audi's arrival in the US from Germany. It will keep my wife happy, as she will have her old car until the new one arrives. Looking at A6 for delivery on July 1, four weeks in Germany with the grandkids.

Call your dealer.

Your dealer can provide you a great deal of information. Below is the template of info you can get. These were the dates for my Q5. You can also ask them to sign you up for the Audi 'Owner in Waiting' program which gives you a few emails at certain parts of the process. The dealer provided detail is much more interesting though. Once your car is confirmed at the port, you can usually figure out what ship it is on and track it on its way.... Fun!

Additionally, check your dealer's website. Once the car is built, it gets loaded to your dealer stock. It will say 'Please Call' and not have any pricing listed but you can pull your VIN this way. Overall once it gets listed on your dealer's website, you should get the car in another 4-6 weeks.

I also ordered my car on 1/23. Shown on dealer site 3/21. Mine is hitting port today/tomorrow and I should have it the last week of April/first week of May.

And I agree with all the other posts, ask your dealer.
