You guys are so funny.

I got 17,500 for the TT which is more than I paid, go figure. It was CHERRY, though. I cry a little every time I walk past the empty garage it used to sit in.

Fortunately it will only be for a few months. I should have the new biz by the time the weather is perfect for it.

It will be Ice Silver w/ Ice Silver blades and black interior. They told me it has a diff locker with the R tronic system. Now that is very common coming from the 4x4 world, but who would've thought in an Audi.

Should look just like the onewe test drove.

By the way, 5 grand up front, just to order it, no exceptions. I thought that was obnoxious.

obnoxious?? that's just pennies towards purchase. i'm surprised they didn't ask for more!!

was it hard to test drive one? did they make you fill out any financial forms that showed that you had the means to purchase a car like that? i can't think that i'd just be able to waltz into a dealer and say, "hey, i'd like to test drive that car!" without the third degree!

Congrats on having a cooler car than anyone else on this forum, even despite the autotragic transmission.

The dealer told me yesterday that I have 40 people ahead of me and they might get 2 a month. It could be a while.

You went with R-Tronic?

As jay leno would say, thats not a proper gentlemans transmission.

As I'd say... grow a pair. R-Tronic takes away from the experience a supercar is trying to offer.[&:]
