I ordered my 2008 S5 manual transmission model in January from a dealer here in Milwaukee, WI. The dealership is being very ellusive about providing any information to me as to when I might get my car and I'm getting really impatient! I called a dealer in Chicago and she told me 10 months!!! Is this possible? I have an S4 that is almost out of warranty and I want to get rid of it but I can't believe I have to wait 10 more months for my car. Does this sound right or is the Midwest just the wrong place to find an S5? I will travel if need be to get an S5...gotta have it!

10 months I dont know if the dealers are telling the truth or not.
 
IMO very high end luxury don't even take 10months. well maybe an aston takes around 2 years but audi 10months
 
You should really check somewhere.
 
You can also read other posts here who have ordered the s5 they will get delivery within 3 to 4 months.

I'm in Illinois and am 8th in line in the West Suburbs. They think that they'll probably have an allocation for me in November with the ability to take European delivery between May and August 2009.
There was one 'demo' (grey and red that all the dealers got) that was 10k above msrp because of the immediate availability.
 
I have a 2000 C70 which is never going away so I can afford to wait 14-19 months. But I imagine you'll find the same answer at all the dealers that you'll be ending up somewhere to 3rd to 10th in line depending on where in the Chciagoland area you go.
 
Within a 30 mile radius of the city the dealers can be pretty awful and snobby. That's why I went 31 miles out.

You'd think we're trying to get a one of a kind car, wouldn't you? Talked to that particular dealer yesterday with the demo for 10k over msrp....they'll get it from someone! I can wait for a 2009, I guess, but no one in Milwaukee can guarantee anything. May I ask which dealer you went to for your order? Don't really want to order out of Chicago, but I will if they can guarantee I'll get a car SOMETIME!!!

The only problem is that I think that the board will end up blocking dealership names, but let's give it a go.
 
Continental Audi in Naperville
Family owned and just a great bunch of guys. R. Charleson is the salesman and you can let him know Craig referred you.
 
I try to stay away from Laurel Audi of Westmont at all costs.

Thanks a lot! In between our conversations, I ended up contacting someone in MN and they said they'll have a 2009 in for me in six months. I guess if I've waited this long, I may as well get the 2009, so I have it on order with them. If this one falls through I will definitely follow up with your guys. Boy oh boy, this better be worth the wait!!

Put my name on the list back in November, and mine came in today. Dealer indicated it is the first S5 Auto Transmission to hit the US. Patience pays off. Overall, while it was tough to wait those 6 months, it was worth it. I was concerned the S5 Auto might not have the same torque factor as the Manual, but given the traffic in my area, i really wanted both the power, torque, sound, feel of the S5 without having to deal with those times when we all sift in to work.
 
Let me tell you, the power is THERE in spades. I could tell little discernable difference between the launch from 0 factor from the manual, and the transmission is very intuitive. Awesome car, and you guys can bet you are getting a great car for the price. This car runs better and feels better than the BMW 650i and the Jaguar XK, for about 2/3rd the price.
