2001 to a 2013 A4
I am looking to upgrade my '01 with 183k on it to a new 13 order.
I want the Premium Manual 6- but that is about it.
I am filling out the sheet now and had a few questions-
1)Convenience Package- worth the $1100? Mostly I want the iPod hookup which the dealer said they could just do the iPod part for the MMI for $600.
Or is this something an aftermarket shop could do easily for less?
2)Color- I am between the Reds and Blacks- Are there any pictures of the new Volcanic red metallic anywhere to compare to the non-metallic red? Phantom Pearl effect black make much of a difference to regular black?
3)MSRP- when ordering a new model, do you see negotiating lower than MSRP prices much harder than those cars on the lot? What should I try for?
I am in the Minneapolis/Eau Claire region if that matters.
4)S4 mirror caps- I would like the aluminum mirror caps- is this something I can add aftermarket and is there a specialty shop you would recommend?
Thanks!
All for now

Convenience Package- worth the $1100 in price, no. Worth $1100 in the convenience of not having to do aftermarket, probably.
Color - that's just a matter of personal preference. I have the Phantom black and wouldn't think twice about getting a different color... although, every car I have owned is black - there is just something about the way I black car looks when it is cleaned up... just be prepared to take care of it a lot.
S4 mirror caps - no clue about aftermarket, never looked. But consider a lot of S4 owners try to go the other way, either black or color keyed. Funny how that works - if you don't have it, you want it; or if you do have it, you want something else.

The aluminum mirror housings run 349.68 each side, depends if you have the lane assist option or not but prices between them w or w/o that option is still the same. But it looks like the 09 and up cars use the same p/n's so it may be possible to find somebody that would sell you their old ones as somebody else suggested.
