Default Got an S4 to save money on my car insurance ;)

Ok...maybe thats the not main reason why I got it, but definitely wasn't complaining when my premium went down from the Mazda3

Anyways...

Didn't think this day would come but after 6 months on the forums and searching for an S4 (originally looking at CPOs), I purchased a new 2012 S4:

2012 Phantom Black S4
Prestige Trim
Titanium Package
6-Speed Manual
Sport Differential
Silk Nappa Seat (Black/Black)
Stainless Steel Mesh Inlays
Supercharged badges



Buying Experience:

I originally was seeking a CPO B8 S4, but after about 5 months of not finding one that was equipped to my liking or that wasn't just way overpriced, I decided to go new.

Fortunate for me, by that time, one of three appropriately spec'ed 2012 S4s in the country was located less than 20 minutes from me here in Seattle. I ended purchasing the car from Ben Moses at University Audi.

Long story short, I made contact with him on Monday, and by that Thursday, I was signing the paperwork for the car Even on his day off, he was working with the Sales Manager to get me the deal I wanted. Since I got his contact info from these forums, I know most of you already know him to be a true Audi enthusiast, and one I could personally recommend to sell you your new Audi. Thanks again Ben!! (Full Yelp Review)


Initial Impressions:

My true first impression of the car was when I test drove it a few weeks ago. I couldn't stop smiling on how (deceptively) fast the car was. Because everything seemed so well balanced and smooth, I knew I could finally drive my car to my liking without having my passengers hate me for it haha This is when I knew it was the car for me


Special Thanks:

Ben - for getting me the awesome deal on the awesome car. Has everything I could've ever wanted. Thanks buddy!

You guys - for proving to me that the B8 S4 is one of the best daily driver cars in the market today. Thanks guys!


Hard part now is finding a reason to drive every second of the day


P.S. Having fun doing the Motoman/DrGP break-in procedure...just trying not to get a ticket in the process

Congrats and enjoy. BTW, you can do the WOT's in 1st and 2nd gear to keep the speed down. But its not as fun!

Hey! That's my car! At least the one i would want. Still on the fence about the 2013 facelift. i like the 2012 with the titanium pkg, MT and diff just like you have . Nothing overstated, let the car do the talking.

Great Great Vehicle. Make me more jealous and do some interior pics please.
