What is the retail price of it?
Some people don't mind driving the 'old' shape if they get a great discount on it

Currently priced from R355,000.00.
Was recently at Northcliff Audi, and they mentioned in conversation that the B9 would only be available in 2016...
Apparently the B9 was sent back for redesign recently along with the new Q7 plus Audi is now trying to outdo the recently released BMW and especially Merc competition with more technology.
I think the June specials are really just there because new vehicle sales are in the toilet due to high prices and low demand in our ****ty economy.

These guys have a great reputation over on the Audi SA forum

Got a quote for an AMI kit and Nav for the A6, R12.6k!! Going to pull the trigger on this soon...
They do the dealer installations for Audi as well, and like I said, they did the whole install in 40 mins, and much cheaper than the 2nd best quote
I'm thinking maybe instead of holding out for a 3.0TDi I should just look at getting a 2.0TFSI and spending 10-15k on mods for it.
Now I need to find an A5 with (in order of priority):
Sportsback
Quattro S-Tronic
2.0T / 3.0TDi / 3.0T (will be too pricey)
Mileage below 80,000km
Preferably under R330k
Not red
Extras (priority):
PDC
Navigation
B&O Sound
Sunroof
Anything "S-Line" would be a bonus.
Glad to hear nav can be retrofitted for a reasonable(ish) price but is that the OEM nav?

Buy mine for the price I paid. Then I can go look for an A6.

Basically everything you said, except 3.2FSi Quattro and no nav. Has everything else including the nice to haves.

Test drove an A5 3.0 TDI today...sweet! Waiting for dealer to confirm best price and best trade-in. Have Vaseline handy, tomorrow we fight. 
BTW I may have lost my service book, would Audi have the details (all services done by Audi dealerships)?
