Default Ordered a 2013 S4 Phanton Black

Arrives some time in June. I ordered DSG, Nav, black Nappa leather, advance key, stainless steel inlays, sports differential.

This will be my first Audi, coming from a 2006 Subaru Sti. Seems like a similar modding group drives S4's.

Will post pics once I get the car in June.

Awesome! I have about 5 weeks left to wait on mine and I'm bouncing off the walls with anticipation.

Congratulations! The wait is difficult though; I ordered mine on January 26th.

My S4 is aboard the MARINA ACE currently transiting the English Channel. The ship is scheduled due in Davisville, Rhode Island on April 22nd. Then its through processing at the port and on to a truck to Michigan. Dealer delivery is expected the week of April 29 if nothing gets delayed.

Does the dealer just keep sending you status updates? I wasn't sure when I should expect to hear something.

Must be nice to have yours almost here

Yes, my dealer provided regular updates when asked. Before ordering, I made sure the manager and salesman understood my expectation for regular updates.

I then emailed my salesman every 2-4 weeks and asked for a status update/page scan from the Audi tracking system. Only dealers have this access in the US. It shows where your car is in the production process and estimated dates for the various steps. The first report also allowed me to confirm the car was indeed on order/scheduled in the Audi factory system and had the options and colors I wanted.

Using information kindly provided here and other forums, I was able to locate the shipping schedule, determine which ship my car was on, and track the ship's progress. It has been interesting watching it go through the system.

My salesman (Steve Sherwood) emailed me when Audi set the production date, when the car was built he emailed me the VIN number, and then notified me the day it left the dock. Now I'm waiting for it to arrive at the seaport in the USA.
