Well, the car arrived at the dealership today, and tomorrow afternoon I am taking delivery of my new 2010 Audi A4!!!!!
I just hope it was worth the wait.........
And the baby has arrived. I had the honor of being the first customer at Legend Audi to take delivery of a 2010 A4-which I had ordered in April. There was a momentary glitch when the NYS Inspection computer came back indicating it was a 1980 model but this appears to be a known issue at DMV.... so here she is:

Purrrty.
Beautiful Art. We will be awaiting a ride :D
Nice car, congrats!
You should have kept the 1980 thing and gotten historic insurance rates!
But then Audi would tell him his warranty expired 25 years ago!Quote:

At the end of the day, I must say I love the car....PLUS it costs $110 a month LESS than the car I just turned back!
Thanks for the kind remarks--Mario you're next--so let me know when you're ready...and I will help you.
I'm lookin to lease a 09 Civic or Corolla right now. haha
Phil,
Happy to help you - let me know when you want to go car shopping!!
I have connections for Nissan, Lexus and VW/Audi, by the way.
So its interesting to see how my vetting process for the new car has gone. Here is one of our earlier posts:
As we read up on cars over the past few months and did lots of test driving, fuel economy (fueleconomy.gov), trim levels and ride, it turns out that the top contenders ended up being a Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-9, Acura MDX and Chevy Traverse.Quote:
Actually Highlander is in strong contention.
We are still in research mode, but the Toyota Highlander, Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe and Veracruz and, only lately the GMC Envoy and Arcadia are being looked at. Saw the Acadia parked next to the Envoy and I think the Acadia is TOO big.
The CX-9 and Acura, both nice, but I didn't like the blind spots and Mazda resale was a bit lower. Otherwise, both were notable.
The Traverse/Acadia, both large cars of the same platform, were overblown, meaning that right now when you see Traverse commercials toting better fuel econ, its a trivial gain. Fuel econ of all these models are VERY similar and $$ spent on fuel varies by within $200.
In the end, the top 2 contenders were the Honda Pilot and ChevyTraverse: The problem again with Traverse is that it starts at 30K. When you add that our only necessary minimal accessories needed were a backupcamera, leather and sunroof, it boosts the price to $38,588. In a CX-9, it was 34,500 and in a Pilot EX-L, these were standard for $33.5K. We could not justify spending $5K more for a GM with a minimal fuel economy advantage in the same trim.
So we got our Pilot Monday night. It is the same color as the returned Altima lease, so I joke with my son that the car "grew." Hence the car's name is .....Groo Grux.
Will post pics soon.
In the end though, too bad they dont make these anymore. Drop a diesel or hybrid engine here and this thing sat 3 in front, 4 in the middle and three in back with room to spare. The good ol days are gone! LOL A real chick magnet and mommy mobile!
