Default What is the avg. wait time for new orders? (more.

Has anyone here walked into a dealer and driven home with what's in the lots? Seems like everyone is waiting 6+ months for one...

Bad thing for an impatient one like me....

Default I just bought my A5 off the lot a few weeks ago....

...there are two dealers in the Phoenix area that have 6-8 A5's and at least 2-3 S5's.

I have a great sales contact for the Scottsdale dealer if you are interested...let me know.

Default It's been an entire year and my dad still doesn't have an allocation

He put down his deposit last January for an S5. I put down my deposit the same day for an A5 and got it last May. This is in Alberta.

Default I know Scottsdale has at least two S5's on the lot...

..one is Black pearl with Tuscan interior, Tip with Prem only. The other is Red with Pearl interior, manual, loaded. I was checking them out when I bought my A5. If you are interested, call Kerstin at 480-538-4000 (she is a German transplant) - tell her CJ referred you!

Default Thanks for the responses... Trying to figure

things out still. If I have to wait that long I might as well wait for a 2010 model (interested mainly in S5).

I'm curious about the RS5 as well. I heard out of state purchases can be a hassle and sometimes even lose more money with a transfer... Is this true?

Default Yes to your question, drove one right off the lot...

Through nothing but dumb luck, I stumbled onto one that was exactly the dream spec I would have ordered from the factory if I were ticking boxes on an order form, with the possible exception of Drive Select (might have wanted to try that, but probably would not have ponied up for it in the end).

Now I just need to stay employed so I won't be living in the car - though it's damned nice inside. Did you know the seat reclines all the way back? Wow.

Default Had no issues with my out of state buy..

You will be waiting a long time for the RS5 if it even comes to the states.

If your buying new an out of state buy is pretty easy - just get a good transport company and usually the dealers know one already.
