Right in my backyard. I thought I had the only 09 C6 Avant around here!

Isn't that a lot for 120k miles car. And TURBO :D

Must not be an enthusiast. Mine is exactly the same except for the exterior color being quartz grey. I bought it in February 2019 with 101000 miles and paid $10,500 with the set of winter tires I was going to sell: https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...3#post14099833

Just realized the dude has turbo in the title. How can you be that oblivious?

Surprised he has it listed so high. He knows it is rare, but doesn't realize what it has mechanically?

[B. Rock]

A ton of folks assume 3.0T = turbo.

Edit: that price seems about right for CL. I know I always add $1-2k to a car's asking price on there to add some negotiating room. If you're out the door for 9,500-10,500 that'd sound about right.

[G-Can]

It all depends how is the service history, how many owners, etc etc. I would pay 12-13 if the car had major repairs done and was let's say, one owner.

Not a fan of color combo and it would be a deal breaker for me. Just looks like an appliance.

[B. Rock]

I'm assuming someone who thinks they have a turbo doesn't have a service history or much knowledge of the car.

Your assumptions are most likely very true :D

For comparison sake, few weeks ago, I paid $9,500 for a '09 Prestige that has 94k on it. It has the 2 tone Amaretto interior and Audi side assist along with over $7k in service records over the past 2 years including new timing chains, new radiator, heat exchanger, valve cover gaskets, motor mounts and battery. So I either bought a basket case or a car that's had a lot of the major maintenance items already done.

[pploeser]

I don’t mind that two-tone interior.

I like referring to the 3.0T as “thupercharged”. Go on, say it out loud without smiling.

$9500 on an ‘09 with thorough service history seems like a solid deal. All depends on your area though. These things are really scarce.

That is a stellar deal! Lucky!

I'll try posting mine for sale, is there a classifieds here on forum, or how does it work. I'm from toronto

I’m not a fan of the gray interior which that one appears to have but 13k for the mileage is pretty good. Looks to only be a premium though. I think prestige is worth waiting for.

[Henning2710]

It's a premium plus. In the options list it mentions "Premium Plus Package". I agree though. The Prestige is worth waiting for. Unfortunately there are few and far between. It took me two years to find mine by coming across it by chance from a private seller on Craigslist.

[arjun90]

The prices are insanely good now even for a car this old. This one in NJ is a two-owner car, last service it got was for the 45,000 mile Service Interval

[alexdell]

I would take Premium Plus over Prestige with those low miles. Doesn't the Prestige just add blind spot mirror, push start button & rear bumper sensors? Were there any other options included in the Prestige?

[Henning2710]

AFS2 headlights.

I really enjoy the curve lighting and cornering light. Every time I drive our van that doesn't have either of them I notice what a difference it makes to actually clearly see where you're going when turning or driving curvy roads in the dark.

It's one of those things you don't notice until you go from a vehicle that has them to one that doesn't.

Also adds backup camera and Bose and full color DIS which is a big difference.

I just bought a 2011 prestige model. I’m actually a little disappointed the prestige trim doesn’t come standard with a few things. Specifically blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control as they were both options. I also have heated front seats but not heated rear. Would make sense to me for that to be the case.

My 2010 Prestige has backup cam but no parking sensors, which doesn’t make sense. Not a deal breaker but would have been nice.

No blind spot assist or adaptive cruise either but I don’t miss those.

Front and rear heated seats, heated steering wheel, push button start, paddle shifters, sunroof and backup cam were all essential for me.

Rear heated and steering wheel came as part of the cold weather package

I have a new ve atlas, has backup cam, but no parking sensors, but has rear traffic alert, as well as adaptive cruise.
Stupidest sxit ever.

My 07 avant bas backup cam and rear park sensors, heated front and back seats,paddle shifters, but no heated steering wheel.. :D

I’m guessing you have the cold weather package? My car was originally a Florida car. I find it interesting that you get heated front seats but not rear.

I have a backup cam and parking sensors. Push to start and paddle shifters as well.

The one thing I think should really be standard on the prestige trim is the blind spot monitoring. I can live without the adaptive cruise. That being said I’ve been driving for almost 30 years using my mirrors so there’s that.

I wish my avant had air suspension like some of the 3.2s got. That was one of the coolest features that I had on my c5 allroad. I also wish it had the front parking sensors and the gimmicky hud that came on the c7s.

My prestige has almost everything offered (cold weather, blind spot, paddles, push start and smart key, backup sensors and camera, cd changer in glovebox with memory slots, s-line?, cargo rails in hatch) that model year save for adaptive cruise and the sun shades that retract into the door and rear hatch. I also wish it had underseat storage on the front seats.

[Henning2710]

The blind spot assist was available on the 2009 Prestige, but ACC or parking sensors weren't. The backup camera was standard, though.

In 2009 front heated seats came with the Prestige package as did paddle shifters, but if you have the cold weather package, which adds rear heated seats and the heated steering wheel, it cancels the paddle shifters.

Weirdly, the heated steering wheel was available with paddle shifters in Europe. I've seen a few on the German Ebay classifieds (it's about as popular over there as Craigslist is here, lots of goodies for the C6 on it).

The heated wheel is kinda lame - at least on mine. I don't really need it here in Sacramento, but if I drive the 1.25 hrs to Tahoe it's almost nice. I use the floppy paddles way more though!

If I lived somewhere it didn't get cold, I wouldn't care either. I'd love to have the paddles, but in Michigan winters the heated steering wheel comes in handy. When it's 0F out, so is your steering wheel...

I am thinking maybe I can retrofit and program the paddles if I can find a set or used steering wheel with them. I did see a coding in VAG-COM that lets you program the heated multi-function steering wheel with shift paddles.

that should be possible.
A person both my used wheel with paddle shifters, and the used those shiftgers to install them in his Porsche cayman wheel.

gotta love VW and their cross platform parts matching...

The steering wheel options vary by year - my 11 prestige with CWP includes a heated steering wheel and paddle shifters. Also I do not think that the Adaptive Cruise Control was even an option - I think that came on the C7s not the C6.5s. I did see a yotube video where someone retrofitted the ACC to their C6.

Blind spot monitoring was an option - mine did not come with it, I would need to replace both mirrors etc to add.

My 2010 A6 C6.5 has a 4 spoke heated steering wheel with paddle shifters (mine is a S-Line though). I am from Canada btw.

ACC was available on the A6 from 2006 I believe, but rarely seen on US cars. More commonly seen in Europe. I did see one 2011 Prestige Avant a few years back that was for sale in New England that had it and very few others in the US, maybe one or two over the years.

Here's a picture of a 2008 with the sensor cover:

And the switch on the steering column:

[B. Rock]

I wonder if you could just add the sensor + stalk + wiring harness and enable it? I've been wishing for that feature a couple times.
