Production Week
 

Well, this week is my car's scheduled week of production. Finally.

I just hope the guys aren't too hung over from Oktoberfest, which also starts this week.

When do you expect to receive your VIN?
 

It's getting very close, and I'm hoping that the information becomes available before the end of the week. We're closing in on the two week mark!

Any day now. Salesman says the production is still this week.

Must you wait for a VIN before you pay for car?

Evidently.

VIN exists now...
 

But salesman tells me we can't do contract / bill-of-sale until the invoice is available. This might take another week. He's calling AudiUSA to find out more, or if they can expedite the invoice.

great thanks! - I think we are okay. I've purchased past Audis w/ only VIN

Have you paid yet?...with only VIN and no invoice? I'm still waiting to hear back

My VIN doesn't exist yet. Hopefully by the weekend.
 

My dealer and AoA assured me that I could pay as soon as VIN was announced. that process is also referenced in the European delivery guide, in case you want to point it out to your dealer.

I finally paid the man.
 

Went in today and did the contract and wrote the checks.

I also brought in some SD cards I made with my MP3's to try out in their showroom RS4. Just wanted to make sure I did it right. Wouldn't want to be without my tunes in Europe. That nav/audio system is too cool. I also got a good look at the gun compartments. Also cool.

No monkey business on the price we had agreed upon back in July.

They said I can decide on extended warranty, LoJack, and/or window tint when the car gets here...I'm leaning toward all 3.

Final delivery paperwork should be here next week, in time for my departure on 10/10.
