Well, not quite yet Dealer called me today and I'm scheduled for pickup on Thursday! Ecstatic! Soon after will post some pictures.
How is the rest of pack waiting for Q5? Any news?

 

I am not so lucky...

I ordered Aug. 17th...
I don't even have a VIN yet...
Estimated delivery is almost mid-January...
I will be lucky to have my Q5 by Christmas...

 

Sorry to hear that. I have ordered August 12th.....
Only explanation is that your dealer didn't have free allocation spot until late.
Which dealership you went with?

 

My vehicle was ordered on the 17th Aug. as well and received notification from dealer today that it's ready for pick up Thursday from downtown Audi. I would double check with dealer as it doesn't make sense you have to wait another couple months....unless you ordered some obscure options? Congrats tomashek, can't sleep till Thursday!

 

Grommet, I'm picking up from Audi downtown too! Same day too!
Anyone can advise how to survive 2 last days before pickup? Cheers!

 

congratulations...i am not sure how i will survive next couple of months...i ordered mine on Nov 15, 2010..
When do dealers provides the VIN?

 

I will be picking up mine on Thursday as well!! Ordered late July. Wow 3 forum members in one day!

Gonna be some good pics by this weekend!!

 

bigc_2k3, where are you picking from?

 

I picked mine up from downtown audi last year, they "forgot" the interior carpets so check for those.

 

Received an update email today from my sales rep...

I finally received my VIN, and order status is 'in transit from factory'.

How long from time of VIN release to actual delivery did you guys have?
