Also, as the owner of the first MK2 TT RS sold in the country...then turned it into a Pirelli World Challenge race car......Audi committed to building 500 a year, not 300 as was previously stated. Take a look at 2012/2013 values...they have stayed up very well.

I would rather have it sooner than later....sure, they will depreciate...but my new Nardo Gray 2018 (due in to my dealership Friday) will give me months of satisfaction driving it now....which is worth the value...rather than later, because they will depreciate at the same rate. If I waited and bought let's say in March or April....it will be one year old in just a few months, and it will already have that first year depreciation even if I only had it a few months. Many school of thoughts about this.........opinions vary...this is just mine.

Now, that being said, we have an unspoken for Ara Blue Crystal at the Houston port and due in to Audi Grapevine later this week or the first of next week. I am their Audi Sport Specialist, and can possibly offer some form of discount off of MSRP....I will do everything I can. We have been selling several R8s, RS7s, TT RSs and RS3s, and really want the Audi Sport business. I want to create fans and enthusiasm for Audi!!
