About to become an A7 owner! Question?
Been researching and searching for a used A7 for a few months now and have a couple narrowed down.
1) 2012 White with black interior premium plus with 35,000 miles.
2) 2012 Gray Metallic with nougat interior premium plus with 21,000 miles
Equipment is identical in the two, but the Gray one is $4,500 more.
Currently I drive about 13-15K/year.
Looking for some input on whether or not the mileage difference is worth the extra cost.
Thoughts?
Thank you.

If you plan on keeping the car for 4-5 years @ 15K miles per year that mileage difference is immaterial. I'd be more focused on viewing the maintenance records for the cars to make sure they have been properly maintained. Also check tire wear to see if they need replacing.
Take both for a long drive with windows up and radio off and listen for any issues.
If everything checks out and the colors don't matter then save yourself $4,500

I agree with the other posters, not too different in the miles, however you're gonna hit the manf. warranty faster with the 35k car. If you're purchasing a warranty it won't matter then, you can save the $4500, get the white one and buy the warranty 
or like slickrick68 said, keep an eye out for a prestige...it's like a unicorn with the B&O and tech package, but they're out there.
