    Perhaps take from the dealer-doesn’t-know-what-they-have department is this 2018 Audi exclusive RS 7. Why do we say this? Well, for starters the description (Panther Black Crystal Effect, and Black with Mercato Blue Interior) don’t seem to match the photos. Admittedly, the photos are low resolution, so it’s a shame we can’t see the original high-res files.

    We ran the VIN and the car is checking in as Teak Brown, which matches the color seen in the photos. That all makes sense. There are no Audi exclusive badges on the door panels, hinting that whatever the interior is, it was a standard offering in period. So, you have a nicely-built RS 7 in a relatively rare Audi exclusive color. Now, throw in the relatively low miles of 53,816 and the price at $58,900 that KBB rates as a “Great Price” and we’d say it’s a great buy.

    Market Find: Audi exclusive Teak Brown S5 Cabriolet on Bring a Trailer

    From the affordable tailored segment of the market comes this 2011 Audi S5 Cabriolet ( WAUVGAFHXBN001647 listed by 1600veloce on Bring a Trailer. Not only is its brown on brown color combination totally fitting in the midst of autumn, its unique spec on a 67,000 mile 2011 S5 with replaced 7-speed DSG transmission hints that it will result in an approachable number for someone seeking a unique specification on a budget.

    Here’s what we know about the specification of the car without having seen the Monroney sticker or build list. The paint color is listed as Audi exclusive Teak Brown Metallic. In 2011, Teak Brown was offered on the A5 and other models, though it wasn’t offered on the S5. This would have made it an Audi exclusive paint, more affordable than a completely custom color because it was in production elsewhere in the lineup.

    A puzzle is the interior specification. The BaT listing states that it’s Tuscan Brown Nappa Leather. Using the European model literature as a reference, we’re not seeing a Tuscan Brown option, though do see Magma Red and Mustang Brown. Typically, a car with a deviating Audi exclusive interior would have an aluminum “Audi exclusive” badge on the door panel. This car does not have that, so we’re guessing this amber brown interior isn’t an Audi exclusive specification.

    We don’t have a MY2011 U.S. order guide so aren’t able to confirm the specification of the interior, but we’re guessing it was standard and rare color at the time. Whatever, it’s a great specification on a car with low mileage for its age and some wear and tear that should make it an enjoyable and affordable driver.
