My friend is a used car dealer, but has a lot of contacts and can get pretty much any car, new or used. He seems to think he could get me 10 S4's just like that if I wanted. I explained that these cars are limited in numbers. My dealership in town said they are only getting 4 of them and my friend laughed, saying they are full of it. Just wondering if anyone knows how many S4's are coming to Canada, or North America.

Well, what I have heard from my contact at AoA is that dealers will get about one S4 PER MONTH...maybe an extra one. Really high volume dealers like that one in Connecticut...and Rusnak in Pasadena may, I said may, get as many as four S4s in one month. I don't know for sure, but your friend may be the typical used car guy...alot of hot air. I could be wrong...but if the local AoA training facility cannot even get an S4 to train auditechs with...then I can guarantee your boasting friend will not be able to get any either. :-)<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8

I am corroborating his assertion, and I'm an Audi dealer...<br>

If the car sells well, I am sure Audi will keep bringing them.

It says that statement, or something real close to that, right on the new North American S4 brochure. I would be really surprised if Audi made the S4 as available as the M3.<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8QM<p>P.S. Hey Jon, $500 over invoice on a M3....hmmmmm?

Just about every time I go into Anderson-Behel Audi in San Jose, I see one of the older ones there. Alot of people in the Silicon Valley have the older S4 and S6s.<p>Steve S.<br>97 2.8QM
