Similar situation here...My preference is actually towards the blue alcantara/ blk leather interior. I've never been a fan of wood trim either. I've been searching for about a month now and have only found one car that meets my criteria, but with the white alcantara combo that your're looking for. I believe the seller was local to the bay area and the car was an 01 with ~47k mi. I can try and dig up the info if you like.
Believe me i've done a great deal of searching both web and print sources and it seems the majority of those ppl who chose the alcantara sport interiors aren't letting go of those cars.
As far as color combo popularity here's what i've found in order of popularity on the used market:
With the white alcantara sport interior it seems the exterior color is usually silver, white, black
With the blue alcantara sport interior it seems the exterior color is either nogaro, santorin blue, or black.
Finding any other exterior color with the alcantara sport interior is probably extremely rare, if it was even available from the factory. I'm not positive whether someone could have ordered lets say the blue alcantara with lets say the imola yellow exterior color.
I'm really looking out for something with at least 10-15k less miles than that. I dont mind being patient for the right car to pop up on the market and if you're not in a rush I'm sure you'll find exactly what you're looking for. At the moment I'm not in a hurry to buy, unless I come across the right car, or my job req's the immediate purchase of one for commuting. (Of course I plan to take the car out for spirited drives and mtn bike trips on the weekend so all that potential wont be going unused
)
FYI...this is what im lookin out for....
MY2001 Audi s4 with less than 50k miles. I may consider 00's with low miles if you have taken care of all common warranty issues in a timely manner.
Black, Blue, Silver, or White
with the sport interior (I prefer silver or cf accents, NOT the wood, but of course this is a minor cosmetic issue and I guess wouldnt mind resorting to painting over the wood trim if I found the right car)
Two-tone seats with blue alcantara/black leather, however I would settle for the white alcantara/black leather combo if everything about the car is spot on. As a last resort black leather, or grey leather... in that order.
Other than the two tone seats I am pefectly happy with the basic options and not really that concerned in cold weather pkg, navi, etc
I really would prefer NO MODS, but if your car has been WELL cared for I might consider it....
Anyways good luck finding the car you're looking for.
leave ya with a pic of my fav...sexy isnt it, haha...
