Default New Audi Owner here!

Hey all! Just signed the deal for a CPO 2010 A4+. Hope to take deliver by this Saturday. I am coming off a 2012 VW CC lease and was now happy with the car to get a 2014 so I been eying Audi's for awhile.
I was set on the new A3 or S3 but after pricing in the options I was already at an A4 so I went looking. Found the car Deep Sea Blue, with Beige leather interior. Price was listed at $22,395 but after a few days of back and forth, got the dealer down to $19,037.00 and some free goodies. I also ran the vin number for service records and the car was sold new at the dealership I am buying it at and has been serviced as well. As for any TSB's on it it has had the Stage 1 done and as well was certified CPO so I will assume it is ready to go. It is very clean and sharp so I am excited to get my ride!

As Audi owners here, what can I look forward to and any suggestions as to maintenance above an beyond say the recommended factory schedules? I have ideas for a few mods as well, one being rims and tires for sure but has anyone look into swapping the 2013 fog lamps into the 2012 and later models? Seems it may be a direct fit but I would like to know.

Hi there,
You probably have your A4 Premium Plus now. Being a recent convert from BMW last month, extend my greetings. My car was a one owner P+ with a manual and sports package that traded in at my area in California- the best car I have ever owned, and that includes 5 BMWs and 2 Mercedes. Take care of it and enjoy. I love the way my car is on rails under throttle in bad , good and everything.

I'm a firm believer in oil changes every 5K miles, FWIW. Maybe others think the recommended 10k is sufficient? As for Mods, look at the APR stage 1 chip. Relatively cheap upgrade considering the impact. I chipped my car at 10k miles and its been fantastic.
