snagitseven & tenspeed,

I am in Canada and first year of release was 2012 here just like in the US, the garnet red is rare and i know i won't find one as there were half a dozen sold.

I would go for havana black, daytona grey and or ice grey/glacier white. Nougat brown is seriously amazing colour for interior with matte finished wood inserts - as soon as me and the wife got in she was sold and i was impressed way before turning the car on.

I am wondering if i can overlook Sline package and stick with sports in a car as there are literally 4 cars available in my province right now.

I am trying to decide if going from 2012 to 2013 model is worth it for a premium of 10ish k.

In that case, tenspeed and I were correct on doing s second year A6. Go for a low mileage 2013 if you can. Less forum issue posts on a 2013 due to Audi solving some of the 2012 gremlins and there should be some OEM warranty left. If you buy from a dealer, a CPO would also extend most of the warranty out.

I agree, it would be very boring if the majority of posts expounded on a car having no faults. Fortunately, the majority of posts are responses and questions regarding a posters location🇺🇸

Well, maybe not the majority of posts. DB, you gotta let the location thing go. It will just grind you down, chew you up and make you old beyond your years.

Actually, I gave up on the location thing years go here. Now, I just sigh and ask the question as needed. Because I know it's not going to change so I say why fight it. Too many other things to worry about.

thanks for the input! It is going to be a chore finding a low km 2012 or 2013, found one 2013 but they are asking too much for it as it has 67k KM or 42k Miles.

Maverick61: fantastic colour, i love it. Any shots of the rear?

That is a nice color and I was strongly considering it before I ordered. How is it for showing dirt? The reason I went with Quartz Gray was it doesn't show the crud as quickly as most dark or light colors.
I had almost the same color many years ago on a Trans Am and really liked it.
