About to buy this A6. Could use your help!
 
Hi guys,
I'm about to buy http://www.ebay.com/itm/121232327769?forcerRptr=true&item=121232327769&viewitem= and I'm trying to get a good feel for whether the car has the options I'd like, etc. I already test drove the car but the dealer knew nothing so I figured you guys would. I can sum it up as

1. Premium (how do I know if it's a "Plus"?)
2. 3.0 quattro
3. The front seats look a little different than another 2012 A6 I test drove... these are not round (and I like that) but I was wondering if that is part of a package?
4. Aluminum inlays
5. Bose Audio
6. He says the back seat is heated but I couldn't tell that by looking at the backseat controls... ?

Price-wise I think it's fair but would also like to hear your thoughts on that. Thanks!!

Someone else can chime in but I believe if it's a 3.0 engine it has to be premium plus or prestige. So that would lead me to believe it's actually a Prem Plus A6. Also, from looking at the pics, it doesnt seem to have rear seat warmers.

also this car doesn't have sports package as advertised from the wheel and the steering wheel.

Judging by:

Folding Mirrors
4-zone climate
Perforated seats
S-line trim on bumpers and rocker panels

That's a prestige trim.

However, I'm stumped as to why it does not have wood trim.

I had the aluminum inlays on a previous a5 and it was a disappointment compared to the wood.

Thanks! so you can tell you have the sport package when the steering wheel is 3-spoke as opposed to 4-spoke, correct? and I'm guessing 19" wheels are also standard with the sport pack? these wheels and tires look rather lame...

Thanks! what does perforated seats add in the car? I used to have a BMW 535 F10 with the active seats and it included perforated/active ventilated seats. The option in my opinion was not worth the hype but wondering if the option on Audi also has ventilated seats when they are perforated?

Also, isn't B&O audio standard with Prestige? this has Bose...

Thanks! With regards to looks? or quality of the aluminum? I test drove another A6 with the wood and I just didn't like it as much as aluminum. I guess personal taste... the aluminum in my opinion looks a little sportier.

I agree, the rear seats are not heated, it does NOT have the sport package(it would have the 3 spoke steering wheel and paddle shifters, and looks to be a premium plus to me. A premium doesn't have keyless start stop and it has halogen lights instead of Xenon or LED. This car looks to have both of those options.
