Coming from a Mercedes E350 and going to try my hand at an Audi A7. I usually lease but I'm just going to buy a used one cash so I can do things like add nice rims, etc.

Two choices.

1) A7 Prestige 2016 (300 miles) for about $67K with S line exterior, blind spot and a few other niceties. Has head mounted display which I did NOT want but....

2) S7 2014 (6700 miles) for 70K with driver assistance package.

Like the "basically new" option but long term will I be happier with S7?

One issue is I do sometimes drive my daughter 5-6 hours to school and the seats in the S7 look seriously short distance "sporty"

Thanks for the opinions....

Drove both... S7 hands down and I pick it up on Wednesday

Good luck with the new ride. Just went from 4 years with an A7 to MY 2016 S7. Night and day different.

Enjoy the ride

Pretty sure you made the right choice. The S7 is so much more car than the A7.

I'm not surprised.... Great car. Enjoy!!

Thanks,

I really excited. This is my first non-lease vehicle in quite some time. $69K for a 2014 with 6500 seemed like a great deal to me even though I did very little research.

Everything about this car has me jazzed. My only concern is the bolsters on the sport seats. They look great but I hope they stay comfortable on a 3-5 hour drive.

Well, take the ride and let us know how it worked out for you. The seats are sporty but I think comfortable still. Fine line between keeping you in place and longterm comfort. I think it can do both.

Congratulations on the beautiful ride! And a great long weekend to enjoy it I'm also thinking on pulling the trigger on a S6/S7, coming from an '14 A6 3.0. They are amazing machines! $69k sounds like a great deal, CPO?
