It’s almost here!

Post by c8rs6 » Sun Mar 01, 2020 1:11 pm

Hello people of this forum.

Another RS6 owner here, well future owner. I have ordered the Carbon Black with a couple of options. My one is currently sitting at Emden waiting to be shipped over to the UK.

From any orders that have come through already, is there a rough time scale of how long it takes from there? It’s been on order since 15/11/2019
2020 - Audi RS6 Carbon Black - Nardo Grey
2017 - Audi SQ7 - Sepang Blue
2006 - Mini Cooper S GTT Tuned - Blue
2015 - Audi A7 S-Line Black Edition - White
2012 - Audi A4 S-Line - Silver
2007 - Renault Megane Sport 230 - Black
2005 - Renault Megane - Sliver
2004 - Renault Clio - Black

My Vorsprung was ordered 14/11 and is also at Emden waiting to be shipped to Sheerness. Hopefully 2 weeks until it is at the dealer.

Hopefully it does come in the next two weeks.

The dealer said to me it can take up to 4 weeks to come through from Emden but can come sooner so its no clearer to me.

Most VW cars come through there for dealers in the south. There is no set time, depends on what else comes through.

All 3 of mine were with me within 2 weeks from emden but maybe Porsche pull rank over the mainstream cars.

Having said that I’m sure the Seat was quick too. That waited a little linger at uk port for a lorry.

Its a lottery, I have had several cars that have taken 2 weeks from Emden and my B9 RS4 took almost 10 weeks, absolute nightmare it also came with 70 miles on it, just imagine what those guys at the docks do when they get hold of a new RS model!

Exactly the same as mine although I went for the cognac leather for a change from black.

So i was doing some digging and "Most" audis are shipped from Emden to the UK using a shipping company called KESS. From a bit more digging the following ship (https://www.myshiptracking.com/vessels/ ... mo-9235414) has been doing the rounds from Emden to Sheerness so with any luck its on that ship

Kinda sad but was way too bored today haha!
