Default 2013 s6 or 2013 a7

Looking at a preowned 2013 s6 and 2013 a7. Live the look of the a7 and the performance of the s6. What are your thoughts? They both have approximately 35k miles. Would like and value all if your opinions.

S6, easy, especially if the price is similar. However, if the A7 is loaded and the S6 is not, it might not be so clear

The a7 is a prestige with s line exterior pretty loaded. The s6 I'm still trying to figure out what packages it has. Do you have the s6? If so can you tell me about your experience with it? Thanks

I don't, but I hope to get one. I suppose it really just depends on your preferences. If you like a lot of power, then go S6, but if you like the tech and a7 is about loaded while s6 is not, maybe you'd prefer a7

It really comes down to one of two priorities. Performance or appearance assuming they are equipped similarly, same mileage, clean Carfax, service records, condition and about the same price. If buying from a dealer, try and get them as CPOs.

A7 trumps A6, but S6 trumps A7. Just my opinion. S6 has higher resale does it not? The S6 is a more rare sight compared to A7 here in So Cali from what i've seen. I have read that only high selling volume Audi dealers get the priveledge of being provided with S-cars. So guess that makes the S-cars more desirable I'd think. Law of supply and demand right?

So I'd guess it comes down to preference of utility vs performance, subtle elegance vs show of power.
I'm a gearhead, I vote for the S6. But to each their own. Good luck, both great choices.
Keep in mind the fuel mileage/consumption difference of each motor.

If you drive them both the decision would be simple: S6 all the way.
