2013 S4 Release from Halifax?

[mattchat]

We will see, I'm not even going to be in Calgary until Wednesday night so I can't get it until Friday at the very earliest. I hope yours comes first since you want it for your excursion, I'm going to be to hungover to drive for a few days..

Nice man, can't wait to meet you next week at eurodrivers. Should be a good meet with some others that we've been organizing on the Audi side.

[Nuccadoc]

so happy to hear that they should be here earlier than expected! Can't wait to meet all you guys next week. Had a chat with my wife, as thursdays are her night, but she still doesn't quite understand why I need to go to this meeting, hahaha. Well sweetie, I don't think anything I say is going to help you understand any better! It's just a 'me' thing I guess!

Matt - will be at that dealership on Wednesday morning. I will make sure they don't let me take yours for a test drive! If I can, will ask and see if I can snap some pics for you! Unless you will be living on the grass behind the dealership for the next few days! I know I would!!

Okay so can someone tell me what I should expect mine? Mine was on the same boat, according to my dealer, expected to arrive at Halifax port on July 23 (I was told that about a week ago). I'm dealing with Audi of Mississauga (located in Ontario) so when I should I expect mine?

[mattchat]

Nice, maybe I'll see you there as I plan on coming in to take a look as soon as its in.

Mine is also on the same ship. i think the ship is called THE TOPEKA and should arrive in Halifax Monday AM. My dealer said I should get the car by the 31st if all goes well. Not bad considering I ordered it May 30.

hey, just wondering, how did you figure out you were on the Topeka? When I checked the VW logistics PDF (http://www.pwl.de/static/schedules/vwl_hb.pdf), the earliest ship I saw going to Halifax was the Emden, did you see an older version of that pdf?

My dealer told me that the car will be in Halifax July 23 and I saw that the Topeka ship docked there from one of the German ports that Audi sends their cars (I forgot the name). THere were no other ships that were coming in from that region with a delivery date even close to what my dealer mentioned so I assumed that I had the right ship (but nothing was confirmed yet).

"Your car got unloaded off the rail on Saturday! So we should see it at the dealership probably in a day or two. It will take another day or two to get it in the shop and have the PDI done. I will let you know when it gets to the dealership and once the PDI is completed the business office will call you to set up a delivery time."

Perfect.

Mine was on the same train going through Edmonton. Hits Vancouver tomorrow. Aiming for dealership pickup on the 1st August. Yes!

[mattchat]

It's HERE!!! Picking up tomorrow morning after they put the tint in.

ah ok cool cool. Just called my dealer, he's saying 24th in Halifax now? I hope it's not because mine was one of the damaged cars on that boat..

Good luck sleeping tonight.

[mattchat]

Good luck sleeping tonight.

my wife and kids are out of town so, yeah, no sleep, trust me.

[Nuccadoc]

I will be showing up there too! Hope to see you there. My test drive got moved due to a delivery! Happy to hear its yours!

Went and saw a bunch of my13's at glenmore last night, sure look nice in person. I can't believe how many they have! Also 2 nice RS5's, both sold. Seeing the cars in person helped seal the deal for my wife. BMW gave us the 335i for a night. Tried to like it but unfortunately was picking it apart all night. Wife didnt like it either. It just isn't there for me! My wife finally said it isn't me. I'm to detail oriented and the Audi pulls through on even the little things. I've been excited about the Audi since day one. Nice to have her support. She drove the manual yesterday for a few minutes and loved it. That will be the last decision to make now!

[dedutch]

Picking mine up tonight! First in BC?

Counting down the hours now. Just need someone to buy my 335xi Coupe! Don't want to own two cars for too long...

[mattchat]

One hour folks!!!! Won't get pic's till late tonight as I'm already ripping it apart as soon as I get home....if I ever decide to stop driving it for the day :-0

Talked to my SA. Told me my car is at the Halifax port but not on the truck yet. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I pick mine up Tuesday. That's pretty fast! Took exactly 2 months to the day I signed at dealership.

Booked mine May 19, 2012
So around two months to arrive at port.

I would have thought they released the cars in accordance to date booked. Those who booked earlier will have their cars released earlier. If you're picking yours up on the 24th, then I should have gotten mine by the 19th. Montreal isn't even that far away from Toronto anyway. Don't know how Audi works LOL.

Do you know the date they released your car from Halifax and whether it was put on a truck or train?

Booked my '13 S5 on May 22, 2012. I talked to my sales manager today at Audi Uptown. I was told that the ship (Grand Legacy) that was supposed to board Halifax on the 23rd was delayed. I think they just boarded earlier today; hopefully they will release our S5s today or tomorrow. I was also told that it would take 5-7 business days after porting at Halifax to get to the dealership.

Is anyone planning on doing springs on their 2013 s4/s5s yet? spacers? I'm trying to plan ahead.....having tints done the day I pick up the car for now ;D

Maybe the guys at the port are Habs fans?

finally released from halifax. 2013 B8 twins arrived in vancouver after a very long wait! ordered mid april, dropped by dealer to take a look tonight before they complete pdi.

the one on the left (monsoon) will be my daily driver, the one on the right (daytona) will be the weekend grocery getter and all around family hauler. in the shade, both look very similar, but daytona will always be my favorite shade of grey! damn audi for not offering daytona on the s4 as standard.

don't think i'll be very productive at work for the rest of the week until i take possession.

sorry for the iphone resolution pic.

Nice! I'm getting mine next week from same dealership. Mine also an early order. Curious, did you get the chance to see if it had the upgraded dead pedal? I'm concerned since a few early orders were not shipped with them.

There may have been more than one boats arriving in Halifax, mine was scheduled to arrive on the 23rd, the dealer told me it arrived on the 21st and it will be at the dealership 1st week of August, the problem is that they screwed up the special order options and it will not be my car any more! They will re-order and now I will have to wait for another month, darn!

[dedutch]

Mine will be next week. Who are you dealing with for yours?

Dealt with Zach @ Capilano. Great guy... picked it up last night.
