You are the guy that beat me to that car. That was a good price but I ended up with the same car w/ 16K miles on it and CPO from NYC four weeks later.

I was bummed at first when you got there before me but am happy with the car I got in NYC.

Every day, just hammering those sites and watching for new listings. I was getting really, really antsy. Almost bought a black 2008 E90 M3 from a guy in Indiana. I was *this* close but the distance was just too much to deal with for me. On the morning of the 14th this car popped up on Autotrader only showing year, mileage, and price. No color, no pics. Price was right, so I called as soon as they opened at 9am. Car had been traded in the day before. Even though Daytona was not in my Top 5 Colors, I put a deposit down w/o even seeing it. One owner 2008 car, low miles, a bit of warranty (June 2012), great price, and close to home so that far outweighed the less-than-desirable color. The bank took their sweet time releasing the title so I had to wait until the 22nd to fly down to JFK, and hop a train out to Westchester to take ownership. Drive home was awesome. Other than a good scrape on the rear bumper, the car is in pristine condition. Interior looks & smells factory fresh. Previous owner also had all -season Conti DWS tires on it but I am fine with that until the spring. I'll put proper summer treads on then. Euro steering wheel arrives in today's mail and that will be it for a while. I had planned to do exhaust immediately but I actually love the boom-free stock system for now. A bit quiet but it sounds so clean and exotic.

I live in Whitman & work in greater Boston. I put a deposit on that car immediately. Wasn't gonna let it slip away. I'm sure you noticed that RS4s do NOT last long in the New England area. Love Mugello,btw. Silver nappa?

Misano would be my first choice, followed by white. After that, either of the blues, then Avus or black. Daytona slides in ahead of Imola. Of the approximately 96 RS4s in my state right now, the vast majority are Daytona.

I thought the same thing before I saw my sprint blue in person....the pics on the computer are totally deceiving....in person, its a BEAUTIFUL color! I put a deposit on it before I actually saw it in person..once I saw it..it was all LOVE...the car is wonderful..and just not too much at all...and "knock on wood" I've never been pulled over yet...or had any problems...people just compliment me on the color wherever I go...

Yes, Nogaro & Sprint will garner attention everywhere you go. Young, old, male, female, doesn't matter; that bright blue catches your eye immediately. It's an awesome color on these cars.

I think it's (nationwide) 30% black, 25% Daytona, 15% Avus.

They all look great to be honest. Not a bad colour in the bunch.
