Default pulled the trigger

i have to admit, after i supported ordering a car, i bought one off the lot. basically, with my audi loyal owner's '09 discount, a garnet red s-line loaded. i just couldn't turn it down. i got much more car than i was original going to buy(ordered) for close to the same price.
'09 20t, s-line, prestige, nav w/backup, side assist, b&o stereo, shades, and audi care. one very happy camper!!

OK camper, what color?

Sounds like you got the American definition of a bargan. That's where both sides think they are taking advantage of the other.

Congrats on a ride with almost all the toys. You will enjoy it very much. That is after the break in period "no fun for you" time is over.

wow good for you!
I though all the S lines were pre sold orders, someone must have backed out and it fell in your lap

its garnet red. that's a long way from ibis white. but i am starting to like the color. i have to admit to the audi crowd that i am 57 yrs. young. but just for your pleasure, the last bright red car that i owned was a '64 ferrari 250gt berlinetta lusso. you young guys should google that car. it was a classic. now for the boring breakin period.

i did the same thing. had a 2010 prem+ with nav and 18in sport package on order. i ended up canceling it when i found an 09 ibis white s line with nav for a little more than what i would've paid for the 2010. i got the loyalty discount too.cant wait to see pics of your new car!

Actually it would either be Brilliant Red or Misano Red if it's an A4 and you live in the US. Garnet Red is a bit darker, metallic paint that has only been offered in the US on the Q7 and Q5.
