How to bag a bargain Audi Erin Baker recently wrote a fascinating review of the Audi A6 Avant options list. I recently embarked on a similar quest, prior to committing to a one-way depreciation ticket known as an Audi A6 Avant 3.0 TDI quattro. Mine is one of the last of the previous model and came as standard with many items Erin listed as extras (they would add about £12,000 to the price of a current car). On top of that, I obtained a £13,250 discount on a pre-registered example (with 12 miles on the clock). I paid £26,750 and reckon I probably saved almost that much in the process - a detail I will enjoy for many years in this consummately smooth, capable load carrier. That is enlightening. Journos first started noticing the high accumulated cost of Audi extras during the A7 launch, when £50,000 cars were actually £80,000 cars once you'd added all the kit.
