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.

Replying to: margee53089 (Apr 28, 2008 4:10 am) 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.

| Anyone in the San Diego area have luck getting a hold of an S5? What was your price paid? | |

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.

Replying to: theengineer (May 07, 2008 4:57 pm) I am sure it was worth the 6 months waiting. What car did you drive before getting your new S5 and how do you compare the old car with this new 1. Hope you post some more experience about the handling quality smoothness while driving on highway speeds. etc etc. thanks. |
