Thought I would post in the correct forum this time.

Picking up my my new c6.5 avant friday. Can't wait. Post pics sat or sun.

[SinCityA6]

Welcome to the C6 family. According to you other thread, the Avant was sold out from under you. Did that deal fall through or did you locate another Avant?

[jumpinj]

I located another one about 2am that same night I posted the first time. I was determined:-). Just took a while to seal the deal.

Congrats OP! Post pics soon.. :)

I was going to take some pics of my own but the weather is turning bad tomorrow. So below are pics from the dealer.

Picked it up yesterday and got to drive it in the mountains of penn before pulling in my driveway today. Wife has spent the last few hours 'running errands'. She loves it. I hope I get to drive it someday.
My least favorite part is the MMI from audi but not a deal killer. I was suprised how fun it was in the mountains. I think it handles as good as my 2006 s4 avant. Power is good. Tune will help i am sure but don't see it as necessary as I thought it would be. Tint is first mod.

Details. CPO. 2009 prestige. 19" sport package. Paddle shifters. 46500 miles.

these things go fast. If you spot one you like do all you can to get the deal finalized or as you found, they will slip out from under you!

[rayray]

Jealous! Congrats!

[ichi d]

nice pick up. im really surprised you got the sline badge on your steering wheel with no sline package.

[jumpinj]

I see yours has the 's-line' package. What year is your C6.5?

Audi always seems to be screwing around with options/packages:
for 2009 motor trend indicates sport wheel comes with the 19" sport package. I haven't seen any "s-line" package for the MY2009 when doing research for the avant.
Sport wheel w/ paddle shifters seems to come with prestige package, but I have seen 4 spoke wheels (heated) on prestige packages. Must have been able to choose which one during the ordering process when a conflict arose between wanting the sport package and cold weather package. mine doesn't have the cold weather package.

19" Sport Package - $1,500
Sport alternate suspension; Summer performance tires; Transmission with shift lever on steering wheel; Sports steering wheel; Front and rear alloy wheels with 19 inch rim diam; Excludes: [PAW] Cold Weather Package; Requires: [WPT] Prestige Package; Or [WPS] Premium Plus Package

Congrats! Gorgeous Avant, you're going to love it.

in 2009 paddle shifters do not come with prestige. The heated steering wheel came with cold weather, if you got cold weather AND the sport package the heated wheel was replaced with the 3 spoke wheel with paddle shifters

[rayray]

Did I mention I'm jealous. That avant would be perfect for me! Congrats again!

[jumpinj]

^^^^LOL. Yes it would. yours is a twin of mine but something is wrong with yours in the rear. :-)

What is your reference? I am looking for a better source. The best I found for these things was the motortrend review/site:
It states - Prestige Package - $4,850
Electrically adjustable steering wheel; Transmission with shift lever on steering wheel; Card key power locks; Smart card / smart key automatic, includes central locking and includes ignition starter; Parking distance sensors rear and camera; Cornering lights/curb illumination; Headlight control active; Bose audio system; Thirteen upgraded speaker(s); Front and rear alloy wheels with 18 inch rim diam and 8.0 inch rim width; Voice activating system includes radio settings and includes navigation system; Includes: [WPS] Premium Plus Package And [PNK] Audi Navigation System with DVD

More confusing, and probably basis for ichi d's question, is Rayray's 2010 prestige has three spoke wheel w/o s-line badge. Can someone riddle me that? Ahhhh AoA you are a mysterious lady.

[rayray]

So allow me to impart some knowledge for this paddle shifter mixup.

First of all the 2009 Audi A6 Prestige, both sedan and avant, came with paddle shifters, however they were mounted to a four spoked steering wheel instead of three. The three spoke steering wheel was only available in the S6 for that year.

Now to address the three spoke steering wheel in the picture above is mystery. The steering could have easily been taken from the 2010 or 2011 model however that doesn't explain the S-Line badge on the steering wheel as there was no designated "S-Line package", only "S-Line stylings" which was only available on certain engine packages with NO S-Line badging. For the 2010 MY, it was only available on the 4.2; for 2011 MY all trims got S-Line styling. Trust me... I just looked up all three MY brochures.

So, no, IMHO, that is not the original steering wheel; Either way, that I Avant is nice and you got a great set up. My congrats to you once more!

MY09 But its a cdn model. full s-line package/prestige.

that checks with this clip-at 4 min shows the 4 spoke on a prestige package with paddles.

http://www.alliancemotorgroup.com/inventory/825_a6.html - prestige w/o paddles according to the dealer when I asked him. I don't see any in pics either. Interesting.

? see question below about 19" sport package.

Thanks. I believe it is the correct steering wheel and came with the 19" sport package. I agree there is no S'line package (like the brochure states) but they could have used overstock steering wheels to fill 'S-Line styling" orders.
However, what does the 2009 brochure say about the 19" sport package? Does it match the motor trend info below? Surely they have a picture of the sport optioned interior in there.

Motor Trend:
19" Sport Package - $1,500
Sport alternate suspension; Summer performance tires; Transmission with shift lever on steering wheel; Sports steering wheel; Front and rear alloy wheels with 19 inch rim diam; Excludes: [PAW] Cold Weather Package; Requires: [WPT] Prestige Package; Or [WPS] Premium Plus Package

Thanks for the info. Not splitting hairs here just curious about the car I got. Maybe help someone else looking for an avant in the process.

I was mistaken in what I said earlier, all 2009 prestige's did start with shift paddles, but there are prestige package cars without them. Adding the cold weather package removes the paddles. Adding cold weather and sport package adds the paddles back but takes away the heated wheel. Basically the heated wheel and paddles seem to be incompatible with each other

[rayray]

There is no mention of a 19" sport package for the 2009 MY, only fitting just 19" wheels with summer tires on the S6. Double check me if you wish.... http://www.auto-brochures.com/makes/...%20A6_2009.pdf

That is correct.

[Storm33]

Very nice find! Audi avants are a special breed.

[ichi d]

if that has the sports package thats a really rear avant and nice indeed!

[AFONE]

I was looking at that car but scratching my head on the price point. Congrats. Nicest Avant I've seen since I've been searching.

thanks, she is a beauty.

worst part of the asking price was trying to pass it off as KBB, and they were adamant they would get it when we spoke the first time.

[AFONE]

Enjoy. I look forward to seeing more pics.

you can always get the dealer to run your vin to see exactly what options you have.

You can also just call AoA and do the same.

[Nefarious]

This may be irrelevant but my Avant has both cold weather and sport package and the heated steering 4spoke wheel trumpted the 3spoke but I do have paddle shifters.

[ichi d]

^ lets see some pics. lol

[jumpinj]

I should clarify. My wagon doesn't have cold weather package. It was a oversight on my part since it wasn't that important and had everything else. However, wife was sitting in the back seat last night saying, 'where are the heated seat controllers again?' LOL.

Weather is warming up. I should get pics soon.

[jumpinj]

Finally got some pics after getting windows tinted. Here she is sitting next to her grandaddy.

[AFONE]

Very nice! Her granddaddy looks pretty suave wearing the BBS CH's
