Default How many people opt for sunroof delete?

I'm looking at purchasing a used rs4 in the US and i have yet to find one without a sunroof. I was hoping to find one without a sunroof for looks/weights reasons but it seems there are none out there. Is it just that no one buys one without this option?

Default So far, 27 out of 1541 (1.8%)

It was a special order, so the RS4 is probably not the "flavor of the month" for anyone who was willing to wait 3-4 months for delivery. Some probably deleted the sunroof to make better track *****. The ones you want to buy are probably not for sale.<ul><li><a href="http://webpages.charter.net/parkhill/RS4/RS4_VIN_List.htm">http://webpages.charter.net/parkhill/RS4/RS4_VIN_List.htm</a</li></ul>

No me, I love the sunroof - it makes the interior much brighter

Default Don't (yet) need the helmet headroom, but I thought that the car's highest

point was a dumb place for extra weight, and I am sort of hypertropic/not interested in any more skin cancer.

Wise of Audi to make sunroof delete a free 'negative option', IMO, regardless of its lack of popularity. Still think the initial insistance on Premium Package for early launch vehicles was an insult to loyal Audi buyers.

Its nice to have the free option. A lot better than Porsche charging NOT to put on the badges.

Default Yes. I generally appreciate how Audi does things...not fully appreciated

until a friend walked me around his new 911TT and noted an amazing amount of nickle/dime options that would be routinely standard equipment on most cars. Charging for specific center caps???? Offensive.

This guy owns a few, can afford anything, and even he was offended.

Default I opted for the entire roof delete - unfortunately not a n/c option.

They actually charge quite a bit more for that...
Sprint Blue, Silver interior, carbon, and iPod adpaptor. Nov delivery.
