A few short years ago, owning an Audi A7 Prestige could have put you back about $75,000 or more. Audi’s A7 package started with a based AWD system, 8-Speed Transmission propelled by a Supercharged, Intercooled Aluminum V-6 3.0 liter, DOHC, Direct Injection, 310 hp Engine backed by an 8-speed Tiptronic Transmission with manual shifting modes. Audi’s performance figures showed the car arriving at 60mph in 5.4 seconds and an EPA rated 28mpg. On a recent drive to the Bay Area, our consigner recorded 30mpg plus at freeway speeds.

In 2012 the Audi interior was beyond state of the art featuring controls and electronic interfaces that are common place in most cars sold today. Reviews in the day raved about the touchpad that can recognize fingertip longhand script (except, perhaps, from doctors); blind-spot monitoring; lane-keeping assist; and adaptive cruise control that’s capable of bringing the car to a complete stop. What a yard stick of time standard features today create within the used car market. The important point is that the car is almost current to what is offered nine years later.

Our consigner has had regular service completed locally and new tires installed within the past 15,000 miles. The car is cosmetically and mechanically in very good order and we welcome any local pre-purchase inspection.
