First post, First Audi. 2 years searching

[shellraider]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to join your forums and be a part of the Audi community. After 2 years of searching for the damn thing, using google trackers and dealers to hunt, I finally got the exact car I have been looking for so long. I picked up a 2012 Monsoon Gray A4 Avant S-Line, Prestige, with the blacked out trim. I'm not sure the black optic trim was an option in 2012 but it has the black rails, grille, and window trim. I do have a question for you guys because i'm new to the rings. How many of this model are in the US? Since it took me forever to find I assume there are few and far between. That is it in the photo below.

Thanks!

Avant are few and far between in the US

Beautiful car and I'm sure it was well worth the wait

Great looking avant. Where in North Dakota are you?

[bakedziti]

Great looking avant, congratulations!

[bluetori]

You can email audi of America with your VIN and they can give you the exact amount Avants built with your spec. Always nice to see other Avants, how many miles?

[Rostew]

Nice, I wish I was interested in an Avant when I got my A4.

Beautiful car. I'm guessing she's a bit of a rare beast.

I grew up on the east side of the state, went to college in Fargo worked in Grand Forks for the last 3 years and just recently moved out to one of our other offices in Williston, so I'm out west at the moment but travel around the state quite a bit. How about you?

wow. With that many miles, an excellent find! Very nice car.
I was looking for the same car a year or two ago, actually prestige was not a requirement just premium+ and nav and sport pkg. Very hard to find, and the few I found were far away and absurdly priced. I gave up and bought a CPO allroad :)

Love it - looks great.

It is indeed the black optic package. It is part of the S Line Plus option which includes the rotor wheels, s line leather/alcantara seats, brushed aluminum inlay, black cloth headliner and the black optic exterior. From my email with Acura of America, these are the numbers I received.

Stats from AoA
1,163 MY 2012 A4 2.0T AVANT 4-DR AUTO QUATTRO sold in the US.
89 MY 2012 A4 2.0T AVANT 4-DR AUTO QUATTRO with BLACK - S LINE sold in the US.

Enjoy!

Nice package and color combo.

2 years? good lord

[Avantiator]

Very nice find. Monsoon is my favorite color and you just can't go wrong with the black accents and rotors wheels. Welcome!

[AudiTony25]

Nice find. Congrats. I waited one year for the color I wanted (Aruba blue) actually had Carmax deliver it from GA to NC. It's an A4 B8 sedan, tan guts. My first audi

Nice. I just picked up our avant 2 weeks ago as well. 2012 prem plus and sport package. They are hard to find as I was focused on sport pkg or full s-line 2012s in black or grey with black inside only. Had to buy it in Utah and drive 1300 miles home.

[JonnyThrice]

Nice! Yeah, I've been searching for one forever too, finally found one this May....same car, but in white, and with 35K miles on it. Love it so far! You'll love yours too!! Well worth the wait!
