Hi Peter,
I'm loving it, it's a huge leap forward from my A6 C7 245 Quattro, I think I'm getting older as I did purchase the A6 brand new for £60K+ but lost an eye watering £49K when I traded it in! I guess that is expected after running it for 6yrs+ and 85Kmiles. This time my head (and her indoors!) just wouldn't allow me to go brand new. You are right, it is pot luck though with nearly new, I think I was really lucky with the car I found, it has a few other toys like full leather pack, heated steering wheel, acoustic glazing - I think the previous owner just ticked almost everything! :)
Good luck and I hope your car comes in much earlier, the wait can be agonisingly long!
