Ordered a 2012 A4 Avant today
I've had a very early 2005.5 B7 A4 Q 6MT sedan and currently have a late 2008 B7 A4 Avant Spec Edition 6 MT that I just bought off lease after 42 months at the residual. I also had a 2005 allroad but that's gone after buying/flipping it after the lease.
Sad that can't get Avants with MT anymore but that's life.
Happy that I am able to flip my current Avant for a little more than I paid for it after just 45 days.
Thought about waiting for the A4 allroad but expect that will be more than the current Avants.
Specs :Ice silver/ black; Prem +; Sport Package; Bang & Oluf. $330 over invoice on a purchase. Navi and smart keys are not for me.
Tried to find an Avant already in Tri State area but not willing to settle without the Sport Package.
Now - THE WAIT.

Got the title finally and delivered my 2008 Avant to my buyer yesterday.
Also, Got a deal on a 2012 Avant due to arrive in port early February - very limited availability with the options I wanted.
Brilliant Black with Black interior. Prem +, Sport package, Bang and Olly, Advance Key and Dark Wood.
Audi Loyalty $1,500 was renewed for 2012 and so was ACNA $500 reward. Good news.
Can't wait now to get the car in mid Feb.

Got my car today.
I've had an early B7 sedan (when first released 2/05) , a very late B7 Avant delivered 4/08( ordered just before they stopped) and now an end of the run B8 Avant (built in January).
This is brilliant black w black leather, Prem +, Sport package, B&O, dark wood and advance key, 10 spoke 18" wheels with Contis.
My previous Avant had the sport suspension with 17" wheels and was a stick.
I dorve the car about 150 miles today - NJ Turnpike, Tappan Zee, Saw Mill and some two lane.
What a nice car. It will take a while to figure out all the electronics.
First impressions of the drive are very positive.
This isn't a lease so I get to keep it for a while.
Pics will be in my garage soon.

Congrats! I think the avant will prove to be a wise choice. I appreciate the b&o & sport every day. I'm a die hard MT guy but I must say I was impressed with the new 8-speed in my loaner, perhaps a first for me with an automatic.
