Default Anyone Out There work For Audi? Can Track A Car On A Ship?

Going month to month on my lease. Ordered my S5 in mid-October. No indication as to arrival date. It would be nice to know if I should pay the next invoice on my A6S lease . . . My dealer does not have any idea.
I have a VIN# and Commission#

I don't work for Audi, but I placed my order for an S5 in early October, and it's currently on the Lapis Arrow, which just left Halifax, Novia Scotia and is scheduled to dock in Houston on December 22.

I got the boat name from my dealer. I'd think your dealer should be able to give you more info about your car too.

Yup...I used www.marinetraffic.com to track my ship (Athens Highway), which arrived in port Monday.

Your salesman won't look it up for you? They should at the very least be able to tell where in the process your car is:

IS Order Bank - no allocation
Factory Order Bank - allocation, waiting to be pulled for production
Production Stock - In production
In Transit from Factory - waiting for a boat or on a boat
Port Stock - At port
In Transit Inland - On a train or truck to your dealer
Dealer Stock - At dealer, ready for delivery

My A5 was delivered to the port in Germany and is waiting to be loaded. How can I find out what ship transports Audis from Germany to the Philadelphia region?

Your dealer can tell you the name of the ship your car will be on...lots of ships deliver from Germany to the states period. Additionally, the ship may go to Davisville, RI as a hub for the northeast US...I know a few people that have been tracking their cars over the last month have had their cars delivered through that port. Once you get the name of the boat, try www.marinetraffic.com to track the whereabouts of the ship. The sailwx website works for some people as well.
