I take it that the dealer (or broker in my case) will issue you the Audi build code if requested to track then, as its not listed on my order confirmation form?

Yeah just ask the broker for the 8 digit order number and then you can track it yourself.

will be looking to move to an s4 monday morning. 3k down 259 a month on a 9+23 with 10k. saves 100 a month

Those prices are plus VAT.

Either you're going to save very little over the S5 or you were paying far too much for the S5 in the first place.

So not this deal, then...

Fleetsauce telling me they cannot supply an Audi order number until it gets an allocated build slot. I place my order two weeks ago and still not got one. Seems a but odd to me.

Thoughts?

Having ordered a sportsback I'm now going over in my head the practicalities of the car - I'm hoping it's going to be spacious enough for a family of 4, 3 and 6 year old in the back, me 6.3 and the wife up front.

Anyone actually sat in one?, as it's slightly bigger than the current model I'm hoping it will be big enough.

It's not meant to be the main car, we have a large Toyota for the muddy days out etc

I think you will be fine with it mate to be honest. The boot is huge and it can seat 4 easily

excludin vat it muat of been then! thanks for clearing that up my understanding is the prices were inc vat - should not always take peoples posts at face value. i will still look into it today - still save money but the main thing is the s4 looks more agressive from the front and it has the black pack available

Just be careful Simon, by the time you add metallic, black pack and VC you'll be up to over a grand of options, and I assume you'll be looking at the 19" wheels, adding options just kills the value in these leases.

I'm really undecided as to whether or not to change my colour to Navara Blue, as I'm worried the black might not be as nice as the press cars I've seen on you tube etc, but can't bring myself to spend the money on a change of colour!

First world problems chaps.

Central UK have emailed me updating that they don't have a build date from the dealership yet.

Anyone else order from Central UK vehicle leasing?

Videos reviewing the cabin space are positive. Once in the showrooms I'll take a look.

I'd speak to them again mate. I ordered on the 28th of October and Fleetsauce (Tom) provided me with an order number that I can track via 'My Audi'.

I asked this same question to fleetsource the end of last week and got the same, no build slot yet. Might try asking again tomorrow.
Don't they need to give the order number and post code in order for you to track it - or will it be assigned to my postcode?

[NickA555]

Dunno about any of you lot but I've been looking for images of the illuminated sills on the S5 and finally found a pic of them on the coupe so I assume the Sportback will be the same too...

Not that impressed now I've seen them

When I spoke to Audi UK they told me the main part was the order number and in fact when I opened 'My Audi' on the PC, I entered my order number, plus "JCT600" as the dealer name (Which is where the Fleetsauce cars are coming from) and then entered my own postcode and it worked. The order is now added to 'My Audi' so it's easily tracked...

I was hoping for the sills to look more like these on the S6...

They will light up like that but i find it odd it just says S not S5

Fleetsauce has now provided me with an 8 digit order number, but they have said that it probably won't show up until the vehicle gets a confirmed build week. They also said the dealer has said they will start loading them onto the system next month.
So I've now tried registering with my Audi and then putting the a digit code in along with my postcode butIt comes up with " the order doesn't match our records".

For anyone that has successfully managed to track their order, what does it now come up and say? I'm assuming it doesn't give a build date yet?

I know that none of this is going to help my car arrive any quicker, but just curious about the process

I was curious about what these look like as well, if it helps there is the following video which has been filmed by someone in a dealership:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11XXQfze2z8
It's the Coupe model again, but if you skip forward to 5.08 he definitely shows the door open and you can clearly see the exact same sill trim - as someone else said, I can't figure out why they haven't included the S5. It looks like they are trying to eliminate parts by using the same trim detail as the S line.

At least on the plus side it's illuminated which I've got on my Jaguar as an option and it always makes me smile I open the door in the garage.

I'm in the same position, it seems that the coupes are on the system as these were the first to be realised and these are now about to be built, the Sportbacks aren't on the system yet, so although you have a code it won't be recognised by the system yet as there working through the coupe orders at the mo.

The reason I know this is my original order was for a coupe, which is about to be built, but I changed to a Sportback and it's not recognised, so a panic phone call to the broker and all has been explained (they kept my original order for someone else, or so I'm assured that I'm not getting 2 cars!)

Thanks that explains things far better. Fleetsauce have since sent me an email from the dealer which essentially says something along the same lines. Basically they're saying they are going to be loading the deals onto the system in early December at which point tracking should then go live. In the text from the dealer they have again also confirmed that they are expecting late February/early March for delivery - I'm assuming that the middle of March is going to be more like the reality.
