The S5 lease thread

I wouldnt worry about it yet. The dates got flung around left right and centre on mine before they settled around where I was originally quoted. Then they built it before it was supposed to. Its in QC now when it was only meant to be made this week.
It might still be in QC in another week's time. Mine's still there, 10 days after the tracker moved to that stage.PorkInsider said:

Just went in to the tracker, I had a message yesterday saying my order had updated but it was still showing in QC, but it does say "S5 is on it's way" which it didnt say when it first went into QC I don't think (under the picture of the car at the top). I'm wondering if it (and same for you) has left the factory but for some reason the tracker hasn't fully updated.TomScrut said:

Possibly. Spoke to the dealer again this morning and they said they 'think' it should arrive 'within the next 2 weeks'. Starting to think then just make this stuff up on the hoof.
I would think there must be something pretty serious for it to be in QC for more than a week given a lot of them appear to be skipping through!TomScrut said:

Exactly. Yours is different to mine with the text I was on about though:It wouldn't matter what was wrong with the car; if they can build one on a matter of hours, they could re-shell it and put a new gearbox in it in less than 10 days.
I've been enjoying reading this thread these last few weeks as I eagerly awaited my new S5, so felt obliged to sign-up to Pistonheads now that the car has arrived!!
I went for Navarra Blue, options: flat-bottom wheel, privacy glass and sport differential.
I've now done just over 100 miles in the car and all I can say is .... WOW! I absolutely love it; the looks, the sound, the drive. The inside feels really special, and even though I've been trying to take it easy (as advised by Audi for the first 500 miles) it is FAST. I've had loads of comments from people, including randoms in the street, about how great it looks. Couple of pics from when I picked it up at the dealer:

Lovely! I hope will be seeing some more very soon. How's the fuel going? I would imagine that Dynamic button is getting a lot of use at the moment!I went for Navarra Blue, options: flat-bottom wheel, privacy glass and sport differential.

Has anyone managed to find an emanual? I wanna RTFM lol
I know there is the Audi manual website in the US. You put in a VIN which are easy to find over the pond but it can't find a manual. You have search to for the 2018 s5 for sale VINetc.

Me too! lets now see how long it takes to reach the stealers. I would hope by early next week, as I think this weekend is pushing it. My old car is due back on the 20th to coincide with the advised delivery of the 20th, so the drive may be cluttered for a while. How lucky are we missing the new VED rates!20th Feb Build Week

Bloody preparation, it's been in preparation for about 10 days now, I'm aware that our Bavarian cousins have a reputation for being exact, but this preparation better be worth it, how much flippin preparation is needed FFS. 
Think yourself lucky, they're still doing a cut-and-shut job on mine in QC. they've been at it since a week last Saturday.Gassing Station | Audi, Seat, Skoda & VW | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
