Apologies for hijacking this thread, I'm the Captain of a container ship employed by a huge international conglomerate. My cars will spend half of their lifetime with me garaged while I'm away. I tend to own my cars for at least 5-6 years only putting about 5-6k miles per year on them.I buy CPO and my wife gets a new car every 4 years or so.

I am tossing between the same problems you are dealing with as well. I have noticed that used low mileage 2017/2018 allroads are not that much different price wise vs. a discounted new 2018. The more I search the country, the more I start to think of the exact exterior and interior color combo I want. Looks like there are no new incentives for Oct except for the usual Audi loyalty discount and a $1000 Audi FS discount.

Does anyone know if the 2019 allroad has similar design changes as the standard A4 sedan? I haven't seen any pictures online. Also it looks like the Telematics/Nav package was put into the Premium Plus trim, with the upgraded sound as a stand alone option. Have the 2019 prices been announced?

Thanks!

There is no redeign happening for US spec A4 or Allroad that’s at least a year off for us. You also won’t see 19’s here for months yet. ‘18s are still arriving at port.

Allroad production is tiny, and it has the absolute highest loyalty rententikn of all their models (over 60%). Given that, any incentive is generous tbh.

It hasn't been confirmed but I believe the 2019s will sport a revised rear valence and exhaust ports.

Very nice looking!

Sorry for the dumb questions - but what are the major differences between the Avant and Allroad? And why would Audi make 2 different wagons?

The Avant is basically an A4 sedan with an larger trunk.

The allroad has some distinctive styling features, increased ground clearance, additional under-proofing etc

True. The Avant is an A4 Estate whereas the allroad is an A4 estate with slightly more “off-roading” capabilities, I believe.

The allroad is the model Audi thinks will sell better in the US because buyers are crazy for SUVs. It is raised about 4cm and adds clunky plastic cladding around the wheel openings.

The Avant is the one US car lovers wish we could get.

Question to experts,

I see a listing for 2017 Allroad Premium, 29k miles, dealer MSRP $36000. Not a CPO, it is with a non-Audi dealer. Carfax is good, Single owner, Purchased, services within the same city. Car is excellent condition, only negative i could find is mileage of 29k

Is it a good deal? 2 years warranty left, i don't drive more than 10k every year.

Might have to consider spending more for additional warranty or sell it before warranty expires.
