There are not many Prestige models for sale with every option throughout the country. I would say it's a pretty exclusive car to own. Although there are many BMW's and Mercedes everywhere you look, I do not see many Audi A6's with the prestige package or even without the prestige package.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I am now a proud Audi owner!
And now I can use my official signature!

Welcome. You are right A6 is more exclusive than 5 series and E class, and even so the Prestige models. When I see other A6 on the road I check what packages they have, and I am still the only fully loaded Prestige including B&O in my area. The S line and 20 wheels still turn heads, even from E class and 5 series owners.

Congratulations--That is an excellent price on an absolutely top-of-the line car. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Now the fun begins as you get to study the manual, play with all the ***** and controls and menus and learn to use all the great features and "driver assists". BTW, if you don't have it yet, consider buying the Audi Maintenance Package, from an Audi Dealer, for about $850.

When I went to the finance side, they asked me if I wanted Audi Care. Since I read so may posts in these forums I knew to ask if the car already had the Audi Care. Sure enough it was already purchased by the previous owner when he "Checked". This forum saved my over $800 already.

For $850 it is a waste of money. For the duration of the warranty, they only thing that is changed is the oil and filter. The air filter once and maybe the cabin filter even though it wont be needed. Maybe the wipers once or twice depending where you live.
You could get this done for less than half the price. I do my own oil changes. I buy a 12 quart box of Royal Purple 5w40 delivered to my house for $87 and an oil filter for $12 at rockauto.com. Even if you pay someone to change it for $20 its around $95. If you really want to be cheap just get 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 0w40(VW 502.00 approved unlike my RP) for $25 and you can change your oil for around $70. Only other thing you need in the entire Audicare period is the air filter that costs arount $35. So for less than $400 with Mobil 1 0w40(one of the best oils out there right now) oil changes and air filter you'll save a lot of $$$.

Sometimes it makes sense to do your own Oil and Filter Changes, sometimes not. I live in NV and was recently in Memphis when I hit 15,000 miles. There was no way I could change my own oil, but I had the service plan so I took it to the Local Audi Dealer. Also, during the Warrantee period I like to have the Dealer do the service, so I don't have to keep records and get in any arguments if I need warrantee work done. So for me, it's worth a few $$$ for peace of mind.

Now with that said, I had my Aston-Martin serviced by the dealer during the Warrantee Period (~$1,500 each service). Now out of Warrantee, I change my own oil (a Special Castrol at $15-$18/Quart for 11 Quarts) and Filter (~$50).
