I want the Premium plus package with the A6 and to get the around the same options in the A4 they would be about the same price
But like other dude said, those S4's

B8 S4, I was actually going to trade my B8 A4 in for one last Friday but that's another story . I really like the car compared to its contemporaries. I'd stay away from the B7 S4 and S5 that has a V8, the engine is expensive and unreliable imo. They sound nice but they aren't fast by any means, I've driven Sedans Avants and Coupes, it's too bad.
APR is a good company. If they say their kits can do something it can and it will be reliable. I have had their tune on one my cars in the past and it was great. If I were going to upgrade my 2.0 I would get a ko4 and tuning. The 2.0 engine worries me a bit as well(much less than the v8 though). I'm worried about carbon build up and my car is drinking oil.

Might as well grab a used A5?More sporty, priced about the same. More stunting! More hoez!
Its like 5-10K more than a comparable A4
A little more than I wanna spend
Cars mo matter how reliable are money pits

My co-worker has an Audi A8 and she said that she has a separate account just for that car for when anything goes wrong with it. The maintanence is more than for my car (Chevy Impala) but that is to be expected. She hasn't had too many problems out of the car. The only problem she has had was a bad O2 sensor. Other than that, that car is like a tank.
Any idea how long she has had it and what year it is?
For 35k that's dam good. Was everything up to par and was it prestige or P+?

She bought a 2006 Audi A8 and she has had it for a year and a 1/2 now. It looks exactly like the one in this picture even down to the rims.
The interior looks exactly like this on the inside.

It was a prestige, drive select, 6 speed, b&o, nav etc
Had some minor scuffs on the bumper, minor curbage on rims and wasn't detailed when I got there(none of this previously disclosed). I had put a deposit on it and told them to make sure everything was detailed and correct for when I go there. The dealership left a bad taste in my mouth so I ended up not buying it. Wasted a whole afternoon, bunch of idiots. I'll probably buy one before October.

Yeah, just have to say it wasn't meant to be. I know when to walk away.

Last Audi i had was a 2011 Audi A3. They are some of the most fun to drive cars, but that maintenance shyt is REAL. Once the warranty is up they seem to be designed to have problems you cant fix without going to the dealer. If you dont mind having to use the Dealer for your mechanic go for it.
Do you still have it?
Since my issues with non dealers I had with the car before what I have now, which is a corolla, I never go to anyone but a dealership unless I get a referral from multiple people I know.
Wonder if I should try and lease first though
. I keep my cars for a long time so I wanted to buy. And I drive more than 15k miles anywau.

if you're getting a 2013 it should still be under warranty

Nah i dont have it anymore, sold it for a good price while i still could. Got to 54k and it had a problem with the power seat, vaccuming it out i pushed it all the way forward and it got stuck.Do you still have it?

$1700 to fix what would be a $200 repair on any other car. Audis and to a lesser extent VWs are designed so that 1. There are no easy fixes 2. Even minor repairs can only be done at the dealer. You cant go to an Audi dealership and spend less than $500.DO NOT LEASE AN AUDI OR ANY OTHER LUXURY CAR!
When the lease is up they will give you two options - pay a ridiculous amount of nickel and dime charges for "damages beyond normal wear and tear"
or buy the car for more than it's worth
. If you cant buy a luxury car with cash or a significant (30% or more) down payment, dont even bother its not worth the hassle.
Dam that power seat sounds like a straight fluke out of no where.Nah i dont have it anymore, sold it for a good price while i still could. Got to 54k and it had a problem with the power seat, vaccuming it out i pushed it all the way forward and it got stuck.

I'm definitely planning on putting a nice chunk down, was thinking around $10k, but I'm also attempting to find 0-1.9% somewhere. I'm sitting on a top tier credit score so I know I find it somewhere.
