Shopping for used A6 TDI - how to confirm the options?
Hi guys, I know there was a thread here that was closely related and I was going to post there. But I don't see it now.
I am planning to buy an A6 Prestige. 2014 or 2015. How do I know what other options it has from the typically terrible online listings, or over the phone sales person? I am also finding cars that I believe are Prestige package, but are not called out as such in the listing.
My buyback date for my TDI Passat is November 1st, so I have 4 weeks to find my A6!
So, lets get started with the questions:
I believe someone mentioned a VIN lookup?
I believe the following is correct:
3 spoke steering wheel = Prestige
19" wheels = Prestige
Silver dashboard instead of woodgrain = Prestige
Do 20" wheels = sport suspension
Do the comfortline seats look any different than the regular Prestige seats?
What other "tells" are there for other nice to have features?
Thanks in Advance!

Lol @KevinGary
You can tell prestige by the diffuser between the exhaust pipes (it has a pattern and is silverish vs the black one on P+). Also you can tell by the seats if it's a prestige, they have slightly more thigh support (bottom cushion sticks out a bit) and are ventilated.
3-spoke wheel = sports package for sure, but not sure if there are any other tells for this? I don't think so since wheels can be added separately although I do believe sports package never comes with 18"...

See pages 33 and 34. This is specific to the '14 A6, not the '15.
