my wife needed a new car and we just got a dog,so a wagon made sense..i found this one at the local bmw dealership..an older couple had just trader it for a 7 series..28k miles(its an 2002)....$20500..the car is loaded..there are some minor scratches and the rear bumper is not great due to their dog..but now i want mind our dog getting in and out..i have always liked audi..i owned an a4 before the body change(98)..great car..i also owned a 2003 bmw 330ci..another great car,but audi interiors are better imo..now i need a camera..j

some things are universaly constant, the Audi dealership service departments where I live are brutal also, can't fix anything, just about everything is a " wear item" not warranty and they are ridiculously expensive.
on a $20,000 minivan tie rods are warranty, on your 50,000 dollar Audi .. it is a wear item..pretty well sums it up ... love the cars however, hand down the nicest interiors, even in their lower end models ( mine )

Nice addition
Joey,
Very nice car. My buddy and his wife have the same car & same year (in black). 96,000 miles, 2 kids, one dog, car NEVER been in shop and runs/looks like new. Glad to see you stayed in color scheme
.
Best of luck,
Real

hey real,there was no choice in the color..just dumb luck...but its sweet.i have no warranty,so i hope to have the same luck as your buddy...its funny,but the cars seem to complement on another..more than a bmw wagon and my 911 would...and not that i REALLY care,but the audi doesnt have that yuppie type stigma that bimmers have..but i must say that the audi was in the shop for a service and they gave me a new 3 series..they are great cars..j

I have really been tempted to buy the wagon for my wife, but I always get scared off. The audi meets all the criteria except for the maintenance items I have heard along with my lack of failiarity with there mechanicals. We also like the five series, but they are larger and lack the power.
