Buying an A4 Avant in Ottawa, need some advice
I posted this on fourtitude.com, but frankly this place looks like it has more traffic. 
Any other Audi boards where I would get a lot of feedback? Anyway:
I'm planning on getting an A4 Avant in Ottawa, Canada. I want to get the premium model with the tech package but I most likely won't get a sport package unless it's a used/floor model. I could use some advice on the following options.
1) Wheels. I would like to get nicer wheels for the summer, and I like the S-line 19" wheels and the five single-spoke 18" wheels from the US site. Is it possible to get those through the dealers? Whenever I ask about wheels they just shrug. Is it even worth it? Does someone know of any similar-looking 18" five or seven double-spoke wheels that would fit nicely on the A4? What is the size, offset and patter of the S-line wheels?
2) iPod kit: I have an iPod Touch, do I need to get any extra adaptors or parts to connect that to the car, or does it come with everything?
3) What is the dealer invoice for the A4 Avant Premium in Canada?
4) I'm thinking of buying a floor model/test drive, any advice on that? It seems like private sales are very rare right now.
5) The sport package claims it has a sport suspenstion, does it look lower or is it just more firm?
6) The sport package also claims it has paddle shifters, does that mean that on the non-sport you can only shift with the gear shifter itself? That's kind of disappointing I would have thought paddles or buttons on the wheel would be standard...
Anything else?
