Hello to Everyone!

I have been lurking about for several months and would like to see if anyone else in the group owns a 2007 Ibis White A8L W12 with a black/amaretto interior here in the USA? According to AudiUSA, mine is one of only 4 Ibis White W12's sold in the USA in MY 2007 and the only one with a black/amaretto interior! That seems pretty unusual/rare but if anyone owns or knows of one like it, I would like to hear about it.

Thanks - MJ

Sounds like a sweet ride.
Welcome aboard and don't be shy about posting any pictures of it.

Here on the board, if there are no pictures, it did not happen. Congrats and welcome to the W12 fraternity. I looked at an 05 W12 with white on Navy interior but it was in rough condition so I passed on it. White with black/amaretto is a nice combination.

Thanks for the Welcome! I think pics won't come until spring due to the rainy/snowy weather around here lately! I looked for several months just to find the right one and had to go to Oregon to get it, but what a great drive coming home! It is an awesome cruising machine......MJ

I suspect you will be hard pressed to consider replacing that car for a very long time. Love driving mine every day.

Chris & 03_AR_CO - The car this one replaced was a '94 Lexus LS400 that we owned for 18 years and it had over 360,000 miles when I sold it to my previous Indy mechanic as he knew the good overall mechanical condition! Mobil 1 from the day we brought it home! Guess what I will be using in the W12, yep, 0w40 Euro Car Formula Mobil 1. My daily driver is a 2003 VW Jetta TDI 5-speed with over 209,000 miles and runs great!

She is a looker. Congrats again for the sweet ride. The W12 will put a smile on your face everytime you drive it. Mine is my daily driver so I'm smiling a lot.
