Default I'd rather have the allroad than the Cayenne.

The Cayenne has less space for cargo, and a firmer ride than I prefer.

The allroad vs. SUV thing also applies. Do you need to be in L3 all of the time?

Default Re: I put in an offer on this car...

I don't, but will check it out. I tow 1/2 dozen times a year and need clearance for light off-road; Cayenne will be better for both and I will not have the air suspension issues that are inevitable with the AR. 2006+ Cayenne supposed to be very reliable.

Yes, certainly not the brightest dealer...I was shocked they did not take the 20k offer, or at least negotiate....I may have gone up to $20.5 that day.

That car (2005 4.2 with the nav) is pretty rare as an Audi CPO, extended warranty vehicle, especially in that condition. In addition to the economy, I think the 56k and color (not bad, just different) are hurting it.

Default Tried to get my Dad to go for it...

He just couldn't dig the color. The economy is really hurting car sales. Looks like a winner though. I am sure it will find a good home within another 3 months.

Default I really like this color...I wish they hadn't used the word "beige" as it is really

a very cool champagne like color and looks even better in different light...but hey I love my green and not everyone does...now I know why most of the ones I see are silver or grey

Default Yeah beige = retired people (no offense to those retired)

Just an old school color, but I did like how audi repositioned it as cool with the go nowhere advertising of the early allroad where alpaka and highland green were the highlighted colors for the car. Always thought the car looked best in black or grey myself.

Default Well there are always the basic black/grey/silver enthusiasts, but I think the other

ar colors are much more interesting to look at...I get compliments on the color of mine quite often, especially if it is washed/waxed...then they are amazed the car is as old as it is...

At our house beige is always associated with "builders beige" as when we built a custom home our builder had a fit that I wanted to use color...like on the walls, carpet, tile
Guess what color? Mostly green...you see a theme here
