Hi, I am looking at a few a4's and cant decide. On is a premium plus with 20,000 and the other a 12 prestige with all the bells and whistles with 40,000.

I'm basically willing to spend $30,000. I'm trying to figure out what the best bang for the buck is. Get a car with 10,000 left on the warranty but loaded to the hilt, or a less loaded Premium Plus with fewer miles.

Is the B and O sound and the upgraded Alcantara seats, 19 inch premium wheels worth it>What do you really get in Prestige?

To me it depends on how long you want to keep it. I would usually go for the lessor mileage car but only if it had the features I was looking for. There is only one key feature we look for and that is the BT phone option. Other then that anything else is a bonus. We look for 20K mile CPO cars.

Pretty tough question, but I agree, everything being equal, you go for the lower mile car. However, remember that you are going to live with this car for a few years, so you have to ask yourself if you will regret something you could have in one car but gave up for something else in the one you buy.

For me, after test driving many A4s, the B&O is a HUGE improvement over the stock system. Not even close... but if you are not an audiophile, maybe you don't care much for this upgrade. Also, the Prestige comes with adjustable suspension settings, and I hear lots of good things about this... Again, it may not be a must-have thing for you.

My message is always the same. Buy what you would love driving without any regrets.

Are you sure the A4 is available with adjustable suspension settings?

ADS does not include magnetorheological shocks for 2012.

One other factor to consider is that the car was facelifted for 2013.

And 2013 includes bluetooth streaming via the MMI (includes an A2D2 profile).

Holy Smokes ! An 'A2D2 profile' !!!

I had no idea what that is, so I googled it.

I thought that was just a way to drain your phone battery quicker!
