Yea I hear ya but they say its 90 days to get it. Cant be without a car that long.

Already had dealers agree to invoice price around here, just their inventory is lacking.

Ideally I want glacier white with sport package. Other options would be cool but not needed. Im shocked I cant find any and im willing to travel.

But nowadays, it seems like there are a lot of options to choose from.

Too bad my wife doesn't let me mod her car. I already have all these mods in the carts and ready to be ordered.
Wait...WIFE??? I remember when you first posted the pics of the B8 Avant, you said it was your GF's car. Now wife??? You got married? Congrats!!!!

Wow...you do go through cars pretty quickly.

Anyway, whatever option you get, get it now before the facelift hit the dealer's lot next year. IMO, the current design is much better than the facelift design.

Oh...and I can't wait to see your future B8 in the modded stage.

Naw no avants. While I think they are hot they are just not for me. The sedan you posted doesnt seem to have sport package.

I found a monsoon gray that I may pick up tomorrow. It doesnt have Navi/MMI on it though. Not sure if i care?

Its a premium plus with sport package.

Or the other option is the Red A4 that has the prestige package and sport. Not sure if i want to spend that much though.

Heres hoping the 8speed auto can handle a K04 upgrade

Deposit placed. Finally found a local dealer who was willing to find me the car I wanted. They located it in another state. Hopefully its here by Saturday.

Car shopping is NOT fun anymore like it used to be.

Congrats!

Car shopping is fun. You've done it so much that it's boring for you.

sadly still stock for the most part except for the APR tunes and VMR boost gauge.

ive got an RS4 sway to install, just dont have the ramps to put the car on to do so. i have an apr snub that i bought but decided not to put it on because i want to go with apikol parts instead. i have a long list of things i would love to do just dont have the funds between all the hobbies i have.

Well I too have switched over to Audi. I was wanting to stay with Acura, since I haven't owned anything else in the past ten plus years. I talked to my local dealers about purchasing the ZDX, but for some reason here in the Seattle area, they wanted to try and get me for as much as possible, no fair or good deals. I looked out of state, but very limited if any inventory, so I moved on. I looked around at all my local Audi dealers, but didn't really see what I wanted, knew what I was looking for, but just couldn't find it. Eventually I knew what I had to do and that was special order, done. My 2012 Audi S4 will be here in late December or early January, I will post pics once it arrives.

This is the car I originally looked at, it is all the same on the exterior, just didn't have some of the options I wanted. Btw I was able to order my S4 with everything I wanted at $500 over invoice, I thought that was a fair deal

I can't help but feel a little more safe/confident on the LA freeways when it rains when I drive the Avant. It really does feel that much different than driving a car without quattro.

That is very true.

Whenever I drive our Avant, it feels just so... planted to the ground. It's an entirely different feeling from my MS3. I've taken the Avant to the Big Bear Mountain last winter where the road was covered in snow, and the car never really lost any grip. Of course I was being careful driving, but still, the car never gave me that scary feeling of disconnection between the car and the road. I was impressed.

Well my last car was the 2006 RL, so I am very used to drving with the SH-AWD, guess I will have to see how different the two really are on a daily basis. I relaly loved my RL, I had the Aspec suspension and rims, but the S4 has a lot more kick !

Much more kick for sure. And you know you can make it to have so much more "kick" to it, right?

Here you go. Have fun.
