Morning all
Just wanted to say hi and thanks.
Been lurking for a while, across the whole B8 forum, whilst trying to decide whether to go new or used for an S4. The number of used 2012+ S4's makes picking a "nearly-new" one up quite difficult and after quite a bit of shopping around decided to go new, with a relatively modest price jump from approved used to new.
Thanks to all you guys, and a couple of test drives, and an external influence or two I've settled on a pretty comprehensive spec for a new S4 avant:
S4 Avant black edition, Sepang Blue, S4 super sports seats with convenience pack (I'm 6'1", Mrs C 5'2"), heated front & rear seats (boys always complaining me and Mrs C have heated seats and the don't in current car), ADS with damper control and sport differential, technology pack, mobile phone preparation high, and removable tow bar (for my beloved tow bar mounted bike rack - possibly the only S4 with a tow bar after all my used research turned up nothing on that front)
Ordered 2 weeks ago.. Initially build week 4 !! But then updated to build week 47 once the deposit was paid... Potentially a nice Christmas present... Price wise the same as a late 2013 used (forecourt price) but specced how I (& family) want.
Now the wait...
