Hi, still on the hunt for a used A7. I found one that's listed as a Premium Plus but seems like it may be a prestige model and I would like some clarification.

It's a 2013, and from the description and pics looks to have led headlights, ventilated seats, bose speakers, and some other features which I thought only came with prestige models.

I have a 2012 ordering guide which contraindicates that this is a premium plus model but perhaps the 2013s added more option availability to the premium plus line? Any input is appreciated. Thank you.

2013 Order guide says that LED headlight option was only available on Prestige, like 2012. Is the body s-line? It's pretty easy to tell the difference. Bose was an option available on Prem Plus.

Yep, S-line bumpers but it has the 20in Sport package... . I am waiting on the dealer to email me back a build list/carfax but even looking at all the features they list it seems to be a prestige. I hope it is bc if so I am going to try to get it. The only way it can be premium plus is if someone upgraded to led headlights themselves which I doubt they did. Plus all the other features too

BTW, ventilated seats were standard on prestige, and not available for prem plus. Does it have 4 zone climate? That was only prestige.

Well it's coming up as a Premium Plus so I guess it must be. The carfax site lists it as such as well (although I did not buy the full report)

I couldn't get the site to work for me for some reason. Here is a link to the vehicle for sale, maybe it's just me misinterpreting the images but does it not appear to be a prestige?

Something doesn't add up. According to the pictures, it has the s-line body, 4-zone climate control, and sure looks like LED lights. These were only available with the Prestige level.

When I look up the VIN, it comes up as a premium plus delivered to a dealer in Illinois.

So... something isn't jiving. I found one when I was looking that had a weird combo of options, and found out it was really from Canada. Doesn't look like the case here.

Might be worth a call to the dealer to validate the VIN and what's going on. If it weren't an hour drive, I'd go look at it myself.

Thanks for the confirmation, I was thinking something seems off as well about it. I'll call on Monday when they're open and try to get confirmation.

This whole situation reminds me of another A7 I found a while back in NY that had the wrong Vin. Turned out the dealer was shady and the car had an accident they were trying to hide.

I'll update as I find out more information . Thanks guys.
