Just an FYI but if you ever decide you may want to tune the car stay away from my16. They changed the ECU and many other parts and not much can be done with them and not likely to change.

Sorry, I am as not up on Audi's. What do you mean by stay away from MY16s?

Should I get a 2015 instead?

Thanks

This is only if you plan to keep the car and do any modding to it down the road. If you never plan on doing any performance mods it really wont matter.

That said, the 2016 and newer A6 uses a different engine. Its still a supercharged 3.0TFSI engine but it uses a different engine management computer, different supercharger pulley setup, and different map sensors which all make it a PITA to tune. There may never be many tuning options for it because there are likely going to be somewhat limited numbers of these engines floating around anyways so it really wouldnt make sense for tuners to throw a lot of money at it. The 2015 and older A6 cars use the same ECU in their 3.0TFSI as all the other models of S4, Q5, etc and you can run any number of tunes or piggy backs on those cars and make quite a bit more power.

I picked up a '16 2.0t Premium Plus w/ cold weather, bose, led headlights, and s-line pckg, for just over $8K less than sticker. Had a few miles less than 9K and was a CPO vehicle. Unfortunately dealers don't have much arguing room at all on used cars. But they did come up $2,100 on my trade from what they initially told me, even after I found out the bottom of the trunk was rusted out. That dealer must hate me now

The dealer said they "lease/rent" the vehicles, once they are 6 months OR 5K on the odometer (whichever first) they have the option to purchase them from VW of America. Then they continue to demo, loan, etc. until they are sold.

I figured 100K/6yr warranty w/ CPO was enough assurance to purchase one w/ 9K on the odometer... we will see what happens!

Sounds like a Audi Natick demo vehicle.....

Thanks for the update mhoran89.

What is an "Audi Natick demo vehicle....."?

Here is what I want, Audi 3.0T with Bose premium sound upgrade. I would love the Heads up display, but I can't justify spending the extra $5k more for the Prestige. I know the Prestige has other options but that is the only worthwhile thing for me.

Since you live in KC you might want to check out Audi Shawnee Mission. I just bought my CPO D4 from them and they were great to work with. The sales manager is Taz Toogood (great name right?). I live in MT so this whole deal happened over the phone. My Dad is picking the car up tomorrow. Not the usual situation and they did an excellent job dealing with all my questions and making it a good experience.

Can you share the sticker price of the vehicle and what you paid? I noticed locally that A6 CPOs have high price tag.

The way they described the car, and that they are from MA gave me the impression that it might have come from Audi Natick...that's all. AudiNatick.com
