My New C7 A6 3.0t Prestige

[1flossedS4]

I had been searching for a new daily driver for quite some time and narrowed it down to wanting an A6. I really wanted black on black but it was almost impossible to find with the prestige package and lowered miles. This one surfaced in California with just 21000 miles and one owner with all service records. I put a deposit down immediately and had the car shipped to me in upstate NY.

2013 Audi A6 Prestige
Phantom Black / Black
20" Sport Package
Full LED Headlights with DRL
Audi Side Assist

I received the car and it had a bunch of scratches in it, so I did some buffing. Also, I didn't care for the rear emblems so I shaved them off. The wheels were an absolute mess with curbs from the previous owner so I had them custom powder coated a machine finish with graphite inlays. So happy how they came out. I almost did gloss black but felt it would have been too much black for the car.

Next plans are 35% tint all around, and maybe an APR/EPL flash and enjoy it. Down the road do some brake upgrades as well as I feel the car is lacking in this department.

No pics? Seems Photobucket 3rd party hosting blocked it.

Fixed, Photobucket sucks... I forgot.

Great spec. I was looking for same options and was about to finalize on a 14 3.0T prestige black on brown, missed it by a day. Still looking now. Hopefully I'm able to find one.

By the way, is yours CPO?

And if you don't mind me asking, what company did you use to ship the car?

Not CPO, bought private party. I have a guy who ships all my cars. PM me if you want his info.

The supercharger emblems are easy to take off as well, I did it on mine. The car looks way cleaner without them too! ;)

I sort of like them.

Nice car, I have something similar. Do yourself a favor and do not wait to go stage 2.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170715/63fad792759c012a8f73c7199cefc231.jpg

Looks good, really good.

It also looks a lot cleaner without the front license plate. I just got mine recently and I immediately removed that front bracket and plate. Looks so much better. I've never had a front plate on any of my cars and have never been pulled over that.

Nice I have the same car but mines a 12.

Running epl stage 1 and injen intake.

Running ceramic 35 tint all around...although pic shows front being lighter but that is a pic anomaly.

By far my favorite car so far.

Congrats on the new ride...beautiful car.

[Frenetic]

Very clean!

[gta7]

Very nice! Congrats. You bought it sight unseen? Glad you were able to get it cleaned up.

By the way, is yours CPO?

Are you only interested in CPO? I'm pondering selling my '13, which is very similar to this one (but Havana Black with Nougat Brown leather). I haven't made up my mind.

Any issues with reliability on your stage 2 tune with pulley?

New York is bad enough with getting pulled over, I'd love to run no front plate but don't want to be hasseled. Would I have to get a filler panel?

Thank you everyone for the kind words! Going to get tinted in an hour.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! Going to get tinted in an hour.The only issue I had with the stage 2 tune was that Tony at EPL didn't have my ECU on file yet and had to make a tune for me. Took about an extra month of waiting. It was worth the wait. My mpg's are the same as before. Car pulls so much harder. Stage 1 woke her up over 5k rpm(stock tune bleeds boost over 5k). Stage 2 shifted the whole power band to the left.

Beautiful ride! I have a 15' in the same color combo but with the black ops package. Love it, despite the difficulty in keeping clean :-)

I purchased a car though a third party who didn't know anything about the car. It seems to have more power than other A6 3.0Ts I test drove during the process. How would I check to see what, if any, tune has been done to my car?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170716/9b46bfd9cad272c09bccf74b13469159.jpg
