Good news for me is that I want black, but they are still difficult to find. And a Prestige...even more scarce.



That's good to know about the '22 range increase and cargo; truth be told, the...

So funny enough, I showed up for my appointment and no Q5es were to be had. That was lame, but I did get to sit in a "regular" Q5.

I liked the appointments and was standard Audi quality (that's a...

FWIW, a friend has the B&O in his A5, and I find it to be 10x better than the Premium Sound in my 2011 F10 535. The B&O is one of the most clear sound systems I've ever heard in a car.

The OP...

1998 is calling, they want their Mobil Speedpass back. :)

Nice car. Would look even better if you tear the Scumburg Audi plate off the front.

Have fun with the manual!

They are different, great cars.

I would probably get the S6 over the S4 because, as I become more of an old man, I really dislike how Audi has stripped some of the luxury from the S4 (which can be...

Eeeeeekkk! :)

On topic, I find Gold Coast on Division to be an excellent body shop. They fixed $30k worth of damage to my B6 S4 and made it almost as good as new.

Not in the state that just hiked personal income tax by 66% and corp tax by 46%. :)

To avoid double taxation, you can do a Premier Purchase. The payments are usually pretty close, and it's a good...

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but with the absence of memory seats/mirrors, the right rearview mirror does not tilt when the car is in reverse.

Agreed that I need to verify pricing by visiting a dealer, but typically if I compute something, it's usually lower than what the dealer wants.

I didn't get any quotes, I just did KBB invoice + $750 (for the S4) and +$500 for the 335i.



You're right about that, adding X-Drive to make the S4/335xi a more apples to apples, but in the...

Chicago. No doubt Quattro is far superior to the garbage that is X-drive on my 535xi. But I live downtown, and to be honest, when it's snowing I just hop in cabs anyway...it's much easier.

Good points.

I have a 535xi right now, I like many aspects of the car but NOT X-Drive. In the 335, I'd get RWD.

The part about having an old body style is key.

There's been enough luxury...

Ugh, Audi FS...why do you do this to me?!

It's getting close to order time for me.

A Prestige with sport rear diff and side assist is going to run me $915/month on a 36 month lease.

A 335i sedan loaded up pretty well is $756.
