New-To-Me C2S!

New-To-Me C2S!
I picked up a Racing Yellow '12 CPO C2S on Friday! The interior is in excellent shape, and the exterior is "good" for a 41k-mile car with some touched-up rock chips and swirl marks. I actually sort of like that it has been used instead of a low-mileage garage queen; now I will enjoy driving it more, and worry about it less. I have only driven it a handful of times (weekends are mayhem with our crazy 16-month-old son), but it is awesome and PSE is ridiculous
I traded in a '15 S4 since I no longer need a daily driver, therefore we can have one "fun car" and we still have our beater/daycare mobile since we live in an urban-ish area.
I already ordered the sport design steering wheel (base wheel with buttons is TERRIBLE for manual mode), and a set of gloss black Carrera S wheels for winter duty from RL classifieds. A convertible car seat that will actually fit in the back seat is also on its way.
I want to thank STG, his "HFS" thread (and everyone who contributed), and all the questions he answered via email. Let me know if anyone needs a pair of eyes, or someone to take a test drive, on a weekday in the Boston area; I sold my business in August, and will be taking it easy for a couple of months before going back into the corporate world.
My salesman is really nice (even gave me a car cover someone turned in with a lease return), and I want to post his details for anyone looking:

I was not sure if yellow/black would be too much, but I love it. I had not driven a mile before people were waving and giving me thumbs up!
Shooting a bright yellow car with black wheels in direct sunlight is tough, especially with a cell-phone camera. Maybe I will get out the MF film cameras for some better photos

Beautiful, I love the yellow! A sports car should stand out!
I totally agree with you on the miles, I got mine with 30k and now have over 70k... it's been an absolute blast for every mile and aside from a couple tiny parts that needed to be replaced early on, has been totally bulletproof.
Good call on the steering wheel, I replaced mine as well and it's 1000x better.

Congrats once again!!
Great you snatched this one up as soon as you saw it listed. A CPO too at a great price! Lowest priced CPO 991 C2S I've seen. A beauty! The Yellow/Black is a very sporty combo.
Thanks for sharing your car with us

I drove my DSG S4 with the paddles 99% of the time, so I knew the base wheel was getting swapped immediately.
No way. Steal the pumpkin Targa instead
I could not have done it without your thread
