Hello ... so I'm getting closer to going with a b7 CPO and throwing in the towel on my '01. looking at the car in this pic. It's an '06, quattro, manual... what's the deal with these 16" wheels? They make the car look awful. I thought the standard wheels for '06/'07, etc were the 17"ers? And, what about the Dolphin Gray? How come it's so rare? I can't figure whether I like it more or less than the quartz metallic gray. I think I may like the quartz (lighter), because there's more of a contrast btwn the ebony interior and the lighter gray. Any thoughts or info you have is appreciated. The thing I'll probably miss most about the b5 is the color... santorin blue, I think. legit.

 

B5 FTW!



I think you should go for it. DG isn't really that rare compared to some other colors. Those wheels come with the base package I believe.

 

I suppose the wheels are a bit boring, but they're not downright bad in my opinion.

 

Buy the car... change the wheels. Simple! :P

If I could.. I would, though i'm a student so I can only wish for the moment :P

 

Yeah, dealer said they'd change the wheels for me, which I'm happy about. I'm just more wondering what these are doing on the car to begin with. If part of a base package, there certainly aren't many base models out there...

 

^ I've seen some of those wheels on some B7's. I think different year of base models have different wheels.

I mean if you get the Ti package, you get a different set; Sports also come with a different set.

 

how much are they wanting for the car though also? are u setting urself up to get raped by the dealer? or is it an incredible deal u cant pass up

 

you tell me... currently marked down to 23,200 or somewhere around those parts. 27K miles, i think. cpo, with about 10 mos of new car warranty left.

 

well did u check kbb? are they giving u a carfax? how much are they giving u on trade in for ur car? any rebates or anything like that they are gonna offer u?
