RE: Pics of the new ride!
Question replies. 1) MPG is OK but the FSI eats gas! Granted, I have only had it for 4 days...its hard to judge. However, I have used the "S" button maybe 3 times. The car is sick w/out it. If you really want to suck gas and kick A** push the "S" button. I have filled up once since Monday and it cost me $37.00 to fill up completely w/premium (93). Not too bad! Better than my R/T Durango...$65-75 for a single tank @93...once a week!
Waiting sucked! I had to get involved w/the regional director so I could get mine w/ the 1st batch! I was supposed to get it in September and I said F*** that! Long story short (ordered in March) you can tell my negotiating skills paid off!!! Takes a while dude! If you placed an order now (if you can find an allocation)...you wouldn't get one until Sept-December '06 earliest!
With interest, I am paying a little over $700 a month. That's for 7 years instead of 5! 6.7% for 7 years is almost impossible to find....but I did! w/out it, I wouldn't have bought it.
Color was hard to locate AND order but its worth it! I saw a black one and a silver one the day I picked up mine. DON'T ORDER A SILVER ONE! it looks plain and ugly. Black wasn't so bad but the top 3 colors are: Daytona gray, red, sprint blue. I like mine b/c it doesn't stand out (sleeper) but the other 2 (red, blue) look great in person. My 4th choice would be black. Don't waste you time on anything else!
They (audi) won't budge on the price but haggle for the following: 4yr free maintnance, at least $200 off your "doc fee", less than 7% for 7rs and $300 off the gas guzzler fee...which is $2,100! All of which I got, so its possible!
You don't need/want to mod it. The suspension is already stiff and there is plenty of power. Plus, if you ever want to sell it, those mods will decrease the value. DON'T MOD! Atleast for 4-5 yrs. Wait and see if audi discontinues the RS4 first.

RE: Pics of the new ride!
Trev,
Thanks. I love my S4. I bought it off of Inskip in RI which is owned by the Penske racing family. Sell everything from Bentleys to Porsche. I'm going to cal the sales rep up there on Monday. If he thinks I can get it by August then.......I'm getting married in a year, gotta get this in under the radar......I avereage 18.2 in my S4. The mods I was talking about were to the S4 I own, not the RS4. Have fun, and keep us updated.....
