Default Traded '12 A7 for '14

My salesman made me an offer I could not refuse so I traded my '12 for a '14.

New ride scheduled to hit port on 10/30. I went with same configuration as before (Havana Black/Nougat, Prestige, Innovation, 20" sport, cold weather) and added B&O, black headliner, and power closing doors.

Can't wait...

Congrats - I thought about doing that (for an S7) when I traded mine... Just couldn't justify having an "identical" car

I really didn't want a new car but with no money out of pocket I was able to get a new car for the same lease payment. I was also about 8k over where I should be on mileage and ad valorum was due ($1150) plus since I had to order my car I skipped a months payment (dealer did pretrade so I could skip ad valorum). I used this opportunity to up the equipment level.

Thought about the S7 but I do not need the power.

if you drive a S7 you will have a hard time driving around in A7 that's what got me. Hearing both turb's come alive. Damm what a feeling 0- 60 in under 4 seconds

I agreed that the S7 V8 Turbo is an unbelievable engine in many ways, but 0-60 in under 4 seconds for an S7? How do figure when the published times are 4.5 seconds

Maybe an RS7...

What am I missing?

Honestly no other color moves me like Havana Black. Plus I got so many compliments and so many people asked what color it was. And I love brownish interiors.

I upped the equipment level - added B&O and power closing doors. My '12 was pretty much loaded except B&O so there wasn't much else to add. Power closing doors is a new option. Lane departure warning was new for '13 and corner view cameras front and rear are new. So I have a few new toys.

Thats fantastic... I really dont blame you, the reason I got the A7 was that I dont like to lease and wanted a car I could enjoy for 5 - 7 years ... it looks like you will get to enjoy yours for about years total (if you consider the time with your 2012)
