I'd only buy an Audi if I could sell it before the warranty was up.
I went ahead and built a C63 AMG coupe to my specifications to see how it would be. They're actually pretty impressively equipped from the factory, and the options are truly options. Like, I don't need active parking assist or a hard line media interface, so I don't need to pay for them. I did choose some options, like the nicer leather interior (~$2.6K), upgraded HIDs with active corner illumination and a few other things ($1.3K), the upgraded media option with touchscreen, nav, voice control, rearview camera, etc... (~$2.8K), and the 5 year maintenance plan ($2.5K).
All told, I got a very very nicely equipped C63 AMG for $74K when the base is $62K. Which is only a hair more than the base RC-F and less than the carbon RC-F. And it looks nicer. I'd have been fine with the base C63 AMG, but I figured let's go ahead and get all the shiny bits.
