V10 in inventory waiting to be purchased!

[mngolfer]

I just brought my car in for the 5,000 service. When I walked in the service people said I should take a look at the new V10 sitting on the show room floor for sale. Vin number is 307 I think.

Maplewood Audi in Maplewood, MN (651-494-1471) just received a new V10, MT, Ice silver, Carbon package, extended leather, black interior, Alcantara headliner...$160K. This car is available for sale.

Dammit. Why are all the available ones silver or black?

[Davey_Dee]

I have to go to Audi next week to finalize my order. How long after you finalize it do you get a build date?

I posted somewhere else that Penske Audi in West Covina has a 2010 R8/V10 on the floor for sale. Sepang Blue, Manual Trans, full carbon, Extended Leather, Premium Pkg, Alcantara headliner. Also MSRP $160K. Ask for Mario Lopez (626) 241-0485

Mario's car must be an early example...maybe a dealer demo....since he wrote on another forum that it has the old nav. system.

Willy and I would love to know the sn of Mario's car so we can try to put together when the change to the new nav. system occurred!

W...N00025X. Not a demo, brand new. But you are correct, it is a fairly early build.

Is there an A or a 9 in front of the N?

W...N00025X. Not a demo, brand new. But you are correct, it is a fairly early build.

if it's AN00025x, it's about 10 days into the 2010 production, assuming they start with 1 and build 25/day (I've heard 29 max, but early on from model year start up, maybe they are slow?) Doubtful that it's a ...9N00025x, because a v10 would be LATE in the 09 year (R8ENGLAND's v10 is 9N004xxx, so up in the 4 thousand range)

it is a bit of an assumption that they start with 1; in kicking around the collector car field for a while, I've seen examples of low production cars (eg: old Maseratis, particularly before the Orsi family took over) where they started a series with 100, or some times just with a number at random, like "7", so that nobody could say they had "Number 1"!!

but, in any case, here we have NO NEW NAV, so very interesting in light of what Audi says: "all regular prod. 2010's have new nav"

Audi's US order guide says that the new nav will not be available until August production ....

Swansailor.....that's the AMI......Audi Music Interface....which allows you to hook up an iPod or iPhone directly to the main head. This sacrifices the 6 disc CD changer, but everything else is the same, or so we have heard.
