Odd spec combination

Does look good in Sprint Blue though. Still my favourite Audi colour.

I think that was up for sale when I collected mine in February. It was the one myself and my wife test drove. It only had about 300 miles on the clock at the time.

It was being used as a managers car (and demo), but is now apparently sat on the forecourt with 4500 miles on the clock. It's been for sale for 10mths at least.

They've tried 3 different sets of pictures (the latest taken a few weeks ago), and a price drop at the start of the year from £70k to £65k.

I thought they might want rid, so I made a bid taking into consideration what else in on the market, the need to put 21's, and also a zorst on it. But seemingly they're happy to sit on it. Strange really considering they were very keen to have my B8.

I can only come to the conclusion that the car ows them a considerable amount of money, and the iffy spec choice (£6k on the B&O) means they have been hit hard and they're trying to minimize that hit.

I doubt that, ex-demo means they have claimed VAT back so they are their most profitable cars.

I'd really love to hear the B&O to see how much of a difference it makes. I forced myself to choose between ceramics or the audio and went for the former!

You made the right choice Rob. I took along an SD card with some of the finest recordings I had (in terms of sq not best song) on my test drive and while the missus was driving I had a play with the B&O. It did sound cracking with the right songs but when I played the same songs in my B7 when I got home they sounded better. You can easily beat the B&O sound in a previous face-lift car for a lot less money. Bit trickier in the face lift due to them switching to a MOST150 bus fibre connection to the OEM amp.

PS I didn't realise / forgot you had ceramics.
