Will likely keep the 20" wheel stock as without a spare it's safer to have run-flats. - is a custom order my only option? Any advice how does one go about negotiating something like that and how long it generally takes to take delivery? Is European delivery something worth considering?

I searched on autotrader but wasn't able to find anything close to this package - is a custom order my only option? Any advice how does one go about negotiating something like that and how long it generally takes to take delivery? Is European delivery something worth considering? I am in NYC but would prefer to avoid going to any NYC-based dealer and would prefer Long Island, Weschester and NJ based dealers. I already test-drove and X5 (didn't care for the interior although liked how it drove), XC90 (great interior and exterior appearance, but hated the screen-only Sensus and the engine felt underpowered).

I can recommend someone to you if Long Island is on your hitlist. Negotiating is the same as an in stock car at the end of the day - you and the seller come to a mutual agreement. Euro delivery takes the negotiating part away (it's a fixed discount), but lets you order the exact car you want, and take delivery of it in Germany and do a factory tour, which is an amazing experience - and first class all the way.

Re. Euro delivery, I really like the idea but don't know how it would work with my and my wife's work schedule (how flexible Audi of America is on this). It it is something I am thinking about for sure as I've never been to Germany and neither has she.
