I would personally be patient and keep hunting for a 1-owner, no-accident example unless the dealer was willing to cut a killer deal.

I Have been trying to pictures but the sales person is a bit of a flake. But that said, they are an Audi dealership and body shop
Damage also occurred front left bumper they said!

No pictures? Drop it (and the dealership) like a hot potato. Nowadays, any body shop worth their salt provides pictures.

Please give us your report on the D5 vs D4 when you pick it up. I found it to be enormous compared to my D4 SWB. Beautiful car though and supremely comfortable.

No nothing like that, just the front damage. Genuinely, trying to talk with the sales person is the most difficult thing I have ever done. Genuinely, they don't seem I terested in selling me the damned car. Crazy.


I wi see what the D5 is like, I really liked the test drive. I am finding it difficult to find the exact car I want at the right price so I am debating if I should be drop the B&O requirement or just raise my budget.

I think the B&O is worth it meaning it makes the wow factor 1000% when people check out your car. Sound quality opinions are subjective. Now that I have B&O aka 'upgraded sound', I would up the budget, esp if you plan the keep the car.. The D5 mild hybrid drive is intriguing meaning I might not require a V8 S8 as my first D5 sometime in the future.

Its possible the sales guy wants to keep the car himself..

interestingly, the sales lady reached out 29 minutes after I posted that. She said she will get back to me on Thursday.

I think time just moves differently in new jersey 😂😂😂

I found the 3.0 really quick and fun. I loved how the car drove

Happy to hear that for you my friend. I know what it’s like when you find the right hard-to-find car. Can’t wait to see pics
