My sales guys told me that my 2013 S4 has arrived in Halifax, but Audi Canada has not released it yet. Anyone know when Audi Canada is set to release the new crop of S4s?

I've heard this too. I was expecting dealer delivery week of 14th July. Last week it was pushed another week to the week of 23rd.
Sucks that Audi Canada is doing this. My car has been sitting in Hali for ONE MONTH AT PORT!!
If it pushes another week, I'm going to ask the dealer for a loaner R8!!

I've been told that the A7 we have been waiting on is being held at port is they want to sell the unsold A7 before they introduce the 13's
That's total shit based on the fact there is very little supply of '12 A7's that are unsold and its unchanged for '13 so its not like the '12 are undesirable and its a paid for sold unit.
No sold unit should ever be held based on that reason, sometimes they are held for critical updates post productions and need OBD updates (i get that) but not this
Not happy.

What was your ETA though? Did they promise you July?
I am not sure why Audi would be pushing next MY in July when it isn't a change. The B8 I get because it is brand new model, but most other car companies launches the next MY in Sept but Audi does it in July.

Essentially, you described Montreal from May to October.
Montreal is full of small streets and crazy people. Calgary is 1-way streets that make no sense, and red-necks in big trucks. I've seen a 50' motorhome cruising downtown calgary during rush hour [headbang].

Nothing from me, though someone on the forums in Ottawa just picked up his ride so i would assume Quebec is soon. Barring a couple days to PDI, etc. Ottawa probably got theirs over the weekend.
Mine arrived in Halifax on July 5 and arrived at dealership on July 13. They had to do tint+clear bra so i picked it up on Monday.

Nice pics! Mine is scheduled to arrive on the west coast for rail unload 25th July. Hopefully it gets to the dealer by the 27th for the weekend. SA tells me August 6th right now. Fingers crossed!!
If you get yours before me I will be pissed! I ordered back in April. Mine supposedly won't be ready until the 30th.

Mine was port stock in May and has been sitting in port the entire time till last week. Makes no sense that cars that we're there before July we're not released earlier. Drives me nuts to hear the jk25's car arrived at Halifax on the 5th July and made it to the dealer on the 13th July. I guess that's the price you pay for living the opposite side of the country.
As much as this wait hurts, I saved myself over 6k since I got totally lied to by one of the major Audi dealers in Vancouver. I had a deposit on the 2012 and decided to go to another dealer and see what they could do to get me into a 2013. I'm glad a made the decision, since I've been pleased with this dealership so far.
Regardless, I will let you know how the delivery schedule goes. It's been pushed by a week..week after week..since the middle of June.
Yeah maybe they were confused about the original order though, I ordered like April 16th or something and was told July 16th.

Could be the case. Are you picking yours up in Calgary? If so, you'll most likely get it a week before me.

So have the cars been released from Halifax?? Mine is scheduled to arrive at Halifax on July 23rd. Dealer said that orders have priority over stock, so mine will come by truck whereas stock cars will come by train (you'd figure it were the other way round as trains likely move faster than trucks, but whatever LOL). I don't want to deal with this non-release nonsense.

Yeah I'm driving down next Wednesday. They said it should be ready to go by the 30th.

Awesome. You will get yours before me no doubt.
Mine is down to the wire. I have my summer road trip to the cabin starting 8th August. I really hope it is ready since it will be broken in by the time I return after 1900kms over 12 days [drool]
Otherwise the dealership has offered to cover me with a vehicle during that time.
Nice, I hope you get it in time! I have to drive mine back to FSJ on the 6th. It's 1050km door to door, and i'm pumped to do it! I'm going to try to get one of those hidden passport radar detectors install ASAP.

How did you get the info on the rail unload for July 25th? That gives me and 13S4 some hope in Calgary as I am really hoping to get mine by end of next week as I have a road trip planned next weekend, otherwise will have to continue to drive my dads crappy civic while I try to sell it for him since my Accord just sold last week.....oh I'm getting so anxious for this...it's killing me.

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.

Let's race to see who gets their car first. i have a 2500 km advantage over BC.
all cars must be inspected by some audi inspector after the boat, but before truck delivery. My dealership says the backlog of inspections is growing, and the wait times shifting. This is a new 2013 policy possibly due to damage, and then knowing where it happened. In boat transit, or onroute to dealership.

Mine is getting 3M wrapped + Tinted + Paint protection done at the dealership!!! Unfair, but I'm feeling lucky. You're on. I'm going to go there on the 26th-27th and see what they will give me as a trade in for my Subaru, I have a few people interested in buying it but if the dealership gives an OK price I will most likely trade it in. 1000 less from the dealership works out the same with the tax savings anyway.

They're just doing tinting on mine but I'm clear bra'ing somewhere else. Good luck with the Subaru, they were only going to give me 13k on my accord so I sold privately and made 23k.....nice eh? It is nice to trade in and avoid the hassle. Mine sold quicker then expected so I've been driving my folks car that I'm trying to sell as well. I just got an offer on their car and it's being inspected today so I might just be in a rental for a bit. We'll see.

I don't think they have the details on the damaged cars yet, I was told the system will update the status again on July 23rd, the date the boat arrives in Halifax I guess. Also, based on the last update, the ETA at the dealership here is August 20th, I can't see how anyone in Western Canada can get it on July 31st (perhaps they meant August 31st :) )

Ask your dealer to give you a copy with the details on your car from the "accessaudi" site, all the dates are there, they might be worst case estimates though. With port arrival on July 23rd mine shows dealership ETA the week of 08/20/2012. He has told me it takes usually about 10 days after clearing customs.

You're probably right about the estimates being AFTER it clears customs. I can't assume that the dealer knows when customs will complete their inspection but as you mentioned, your estimates are probably 'worst case scenario'.

"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.

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).

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).
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..

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!

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.[:D]
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!
