Very nice!
How did that work? Was it just a short term lease or were you somehow able to negotiate that into the A5 purchase?

I doubt that I'll drive it much in the winter, and I definitely won't drive it on snow event days, but I wanted to have the winter tires on it during the winter.
In the one photo, the winter wheel/tire is sitting next to the 19-inch factory wheel on the car for comparison.

I had placed the new car order immediately after the 2012 order guides became available (before 2012 pricing was available), and I had hoped that the car would arrive in 4-months since I needed to take a road trip during a certain week. But, its always good to anticipate potential problems, so I wrote in a number of specific requirements and "outs" into the sales agreement. Although I have other vehicles that I could have driven, I wanted there to be an incentive in the contract for the dealer to push for arrival of the new car. And me having one of their cars was certainly a good balance for both myself and the dealer. I had this in mind when I went to the dealer to order the car, but as I recall, the dealer salesman brought it up before I mentioned it.
While on this subject, its important to note that the sales agreement is a written contract, and written contracts should be written in anticipation of something or everything going wrong with the deal. So you want everything that you consider a significant or important aspect of your verbal agreement/understanding with the dealer put into the written agreement.
