Default I just received some info regarding the status of my car....

The car has been inspected and is ready for shipment on 8/1/06; however, it shows that it will be loaded on a ship on 9/13/06. Why is there such a delay for shipment. Does this sound right or am I just hoping?

I ordered back in October of '05 but the system @ Audi shows the order entry as 3/24/06.

Default Same story here, seems too long to transport...

Timeline:

- Ordered 5/11/06
- Two weeks later I was given a build week = 8/22
- Learned on 7/31 that the car has already been built and is "on the boat"
- Rec'd an ETA in port (U.S.A.) of 8/11.
- Rec'd an ETA to dealer the week of 9/11.

Six weeks to ship to the dealer seems way too long. And to me, six weeks is going to seem like six months!

I feel your pain!
