Nice, if things go quickly you could have your car within a week to 10 days.
Sheerness would be the nearest to the dealer. A ship arrived from Emden early evening yesterday. Checked my tracker and it still says on a ship to the uk. Might take a little while to update.
Easter may slow things down a bit. Still a great result so far given that you were a Week 7 build.
I would think if not next weekend the weekend after it should be at he dealer. Seems the logistics have improved with the Q5 now.
Audi UK couldn't give me a precise location or ship name when I called them this week. 3 ships have left Veracruz since my 'Left Factory' status 30 on March 12th:
Looks all to plan. Comes quicker than you realise once it hrs Emden.
Exciting times! Are you swapping a previous car for the Q5?
No not swapping. I sold my BMW 3 series back in Jan. Was on PCP. Got a good price for it from a local independent dealer. Got enough equity back for the deposit on the Q5.
Congratulations on the purchase, your dealer must have had a cancellation or given you one of their slots! I ordered December 16th 2017 and got a Week 10 build! Glad to hear that Air Suspension worked for you on the Allroad, did you test drive a SQ5 with Air suspension?

You're fortunate to have got a ride in a car with air. I found the car on standard springs in comfort to be a bit too hard so good to hear your opinion on air. I did 50/50 between dynamic and comfort on my drive, didn't give it to full beans but was very impressed.Thanks. The dealer gave me one of their slots, so I definitely lucked out. I did manage to test drive an SQ5 with air and felt that comfort setting = the auto setting in my Allroad. I never use the comfort setting now because it is too floaty, so I think the SQ5 will probably have a better range of settings.
Having said that spent most of the test drive in Dynamic mode so I could hear the exhaust barks and pops
Dealer couldn't tell me which vessel my car will be on so trying to forget about it for now. Although, I think I have watched every YouTube review at least twice now ...

Up to a couple of weeks seems a normal lead time. Dealer saying anything?
Dealer said last we he was hopeful it would be with him within 10 days. 10days is tomorrow. Today just said it isn't here yet. You would think they know when the cars are due to arrive off a transporter.
I take it from this that you've added air suspension to yours? I know some are not bothered for this, but to it makes it a hugely adaptive car - serenely smooth cruiser in Comfort mode and great fun in Dynamic mode. It doesn't have the driving dynamics of the Macan but this to me was a one trick pony - it excelled at it, Granted, but it needs to be driven fast. The SQ5 with air means you can have the best of both worlds. I think you will be genuinely very pleased with it.
This is my ordering thread with my spec:
So 2-3 weeks in the UK sounds some what annoying. I wonder if it depends on how far your dealer is from Sheerness? Do you have any registration details yet, or does that only happen after the dealer receives the car?
