Default Considering a 2004 A8L - your opinion/experience appreciated

Its been a while since I've posted on this list, glad to see a lot of familiar names. A couple months ago my wife and I sold our Black 2003 S8 and really miss the car. Now have a 2001 Imola Yellow S4 Avant but its just too small.

Anyone on this list have or seen Burgundy Red Pearl 2004 A8L? Pictures? Really like the Amaretto interior (kind looks like the caramel and black two tone interior in the 03 S8) and think it would look great with this color exterior. Also considering Oyster Gray or Night Blue Pearl with the Amaretto interior. Anybody have pics of either color combo? Dealer here has a Night Blue Pearl but, it has a light color interior.

Anyone know of a car on the ground in any of the three color combos?

Most importantly, should I expect to pay MSRP or are dealers coming off it at all. Thoughts/experiences?

Default Got the Night blue with creme/ I originally ordered the

amaretto interior but opted for the creme.
I felt that the vehicle was too dark for such a dark interior. Without the benefit of seeing the car in person, I opted for the safe choice.

this is why they put 64 crayons in a box!

Spud, I havent seen the Burgundy but I bet it would look great with the Amaretto gut. Look back a few pages and you`ll probably see what you are looking for. Are you sure you wont join me with silver? LOL

I dont think that youll see a picture of that particular color but Im pretty sure that Amaretto is still available. According to the brochure you can get that combo.
