My first Audi.... 2010 S4 Premium package
 

Hi all. My name's Kevin and I recently purchased a brilliant red 2010 S4 from Texas (Prestige package in US, same as Canadian Premium package). Will be picking it up very soon. I test drove a new 2011 S4 2 months ago and fell in love with the car and the hunt was on to find my new car to replace my Zoom Zoom (2002 Mazda Protege5). My friend referred me to a dealer who imports cars as well, who has provided me excellent service so far! I've attached some pictures which were sent to me yesterday..... I'll post more once I've picked up my new baby. Have a great weekend everyone!

Looks awesome! Congrats! You must be so anxious to get your hands on it!

Kevin, welcome to the forum and nice ride!

Re: My first Audi.... 2010 S4 Premium package
 

any reason you went to Texas to find one? Is there a price advantage? Or just a greater number of available cars?

I figure with US new price starting at 47,000 and the CDN price starting at 53,000 it's pretty much a wash. Once you add 6.1% duty and about $1500 in shipping/importation fees you're at $51-52,000 for a US base car. Negligible difference and one that will surely be erased when resell comes up.

Further, buying in the US means you can't offset PST with your trade in car. Might even cost money now to import. Crazy how times have changed in just 3 years since I imported my car.

Hi sakimano. I was looking in Canada for a fully loaded 2010 in red. Red is one tough colour to find with all the options I wanted. Original plan was to find one at a dealer auction (a lot of them in the US), then I would have seen more savings. I'm saving now approximately $4-5K. I'm picking up my car on Saturday.... I can't wait! More pics to follow.

Welcome Kevin! That is a nice looking one you've got there!

Re: My first Audi.... 2010 S4 Premium package
 

Picked up my new baby..... definitely a sweet ride! A lot of comments and heads turn and there are very few red S4's out there.

Re: My first Audi.... 2010 S4 Premium package
 

Could you PM or post the contact of the importer and transport company you used, because I am interested in importing an Audi myself.

Thanks

Hi Jayk,

I've sent you the details. Most brokers charge the same $1000 fee so I was fortunate to have a good friend who has dealt with the Sales Manager of Welland Nissan (now Niagara Nissan) in the past to import his cars. Great service and made my experience smooth and worry-free. Well worth the $1000 to take care of all the steps needed to bring over a car.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

- Kevin.

Nice.. Welcome to the board.

Re: My first Audi.... 2010 S4 Premium package
 

Nice ride! You're going to be easy to spot on the highways...

Re: My first Audi.... 2010 S4 Premium package
 

Kevin,

What dealer did you use. I am in the market as well. Great car !

Re: My first Audi.... 2010 S4 Premium package
 

Hi Ken,

I used Welland Nissan, but they moved and are now Niagara Nissan. Although you're in Montreal, someone I know in Montreal bought 2 cars in the last few years from the US through this same guy. Let me know if you want more info.
