Hey rainman86,

Looks like ours will be produced close to one another. Production week of September20th. My ETA Port arrival (Houston) is currently 11/12 although the dealer tells me it could come possibly 2 weeks earlier depending on the ship loading status.

We shall see.

Maybe, I live in Portland so it's a bit of a rail/truck drive from Houston. I don't have a production week or VIN yet. Just got word of the push back from Nov 8 to Nov 15 last week. When did you find out your production week?

This is a very interesting topic to me as I ordered my s4 on aug 5th but as to this point don't even have a build week scheduled.

I wonder if the VAG factories have an August holiday like so many others in Europe that have pushed production weeks back?

At this point I'm really not expecting the car to be here until the end of November but hoping it shows up on time at the first of the month.

I ordered mine 7/18 and I just found out it was released for production on 9/3. Looks like it will arrive first week of November. I can't stand the wait.

Just got my VIN and a new delivery estimate. Moved up from Nov 15 to Oct 21.

Woot!

Is there a good decoder to ensure the options in the VIN match what I ordered?

just got an update on my car. It goes into production this week and is scheduled to arrive here, in southern ca, at the end of October. The wait is pretty tough to endure.

There are many factors that affect the ETA of your cars. First you have to realize that there are only 3000 or so S4s sent to the US a year. Secondly places like New York (audi of huntington, Beiner, etc) and New Jersey (Bell) have some of the largest allocations in the country. Large dealer = more cars = shorter wait time. I ordered my car Mid March and picked her up on 5/21. She was actually ready a week before that. Overall 8 weeks. Bell probably had X amount of cars alloted to them for that April and my order took one of those spots. For those of you with 3-4 month wait times I assume that you are buying your cars from comparatively smaller dealerships. These dealerships may only be alloted 2-3 S4s a month. If 6 people are ahead of you, your car is not going to be built until month 3 and you'll recieve it 3 or so weeks following that.

The car is definitely worth the wait though
