All:

I just wanted to again thank you all for your input on all of my questions. Between all of your answers, and a co-worker's recomendation on a dealer, I've had a wonderful, stress-free time getting the car ordered. It's a Raven Black Coupe with the 225 engine, *all* extras except the cell phone (can't wait to test this navigation system), with the Aviator Grey interior (leather only).

I must say, I was rather nervous going to the dealer, as this is only my 2nd car purchased through a dealer, and my first brand new car purchased at all (everything else has been at least 4-5 years old at date of purchase). However, quickly enough I was calmed down by a great salesman whom I was refered to by a co-worker.

Unfortunately however, he told me since the car is just now starting to go into production with ESP, he can't give me a 100% accurate price until later this week, however, he did assure me that I am being charged at MSRP, period. From what I've heard about this dealer, they pretty much only sell at MSRP on any new built-to-order cars, which from what I've found, is fairly rare, especially with TT's and S4's.

For those still looking, and living in the Chicagoland area, I *highly* recomend McGrath's Audi/Acura dealership in Glenview, IL. The phone number is 847-998-8000, and the salesman's name that I dealt with (as well as my co-worker) is Paul Bright (tell him Chris Lawrence sent ya!).

I was told the car would arrive between 3-5 months, which is fine, as I'm in no rush on getting this car (trying to milk another summer out of the dying ford probe).

Again, thanks for all of the helpful information. I've always wanted to own an Audi, so now the long string of Audi daily-drivers begins!

Cheers!<p>Chris Lawrence

Congrats Chris! I`ve ordered the exact same spec as yours (execpt nav system) from Europe for delivery to the UK sometime in June I hope. For me also, this will be my first new car purchase so I fully understand your nerves!

Nice to know there`s somebody else out there who thinks Raven Black and grey interior is a cool combination

Cheers!

Actually, my Porsche 911 is the exact same color scheme. It was a very rare color scheme for an '87 911, and I absolutely LOVED the color. So when I saw that the TT was available in that scheme, I had to jump at it immediately.

Actually though, I did make a typo, I didn't get Raven Black, I got Brilliant Black. I prefer the darker black without the perle effect. Regardless, black with that Aviator Grey is definitely to die for.
