My wife had enough of driving the Quad Cab truck. I had promised her we would shop for a car for her. I had tried to convince her the Mitsu Evo was the way to go but she said it was too ricey. She has a point as to drive the Evo is to love it. To look at it.... well its ricey.



She decided that a G-35 Sedan would be a good car. We went to Carmax and looed at one. I didn't really like it. She didn't either the trunk was small.



We ended up heading over to an Audi dealership. There was a 2001 A-6 Quattro with the 2.7T engine in it. It had a 6 speed manual tranny. Very unusual for a luxury car. We took it for a test drive and it was such a sweet car. It had lots of power and was so smooth.



The car is loaded power everything. It even has a power sun shade for the rear window. Built in garage remote dual zone climate control.



I was initially shopping for a brand new car but after seeing how bad my Dakota depreciated after 2 years buying it new. I will never buy as brand new car again. I will wait until they are 2 years old and done with 50% of their depreciation.



Here are some pics, they are taking care of a few minor flaws that I did not like so we are picking it up Tuesday next week.

 

NIIICCCEEEEE



hp?

Nice family car and very reliable

 

sweet ride

 

Very nice. And exactly like the car my wife drives, except she didn't want a manual tranny in her daily driver. The 2.7 T makes 250 HP. We've had ours since new and had no real trouble in 20k miles.

 

I was shopping for a new A-6 and was intending on trading in my 2002 Dakota Quad Cab. I paid 26K for the dakota in 2002 and the trade in on it is 12K now.



I decided to keep the dakota since its paid for and buy a 25K used A-6 instead of a 40K+ new one. Now I have 4 cars.

TII, Mini, Dakota, and A-6.



Anyone want to swap insurance premiums?



The good news is we got 1.9% financing on the A-6 for 36 months. Its warrantied until 100K miles or 3 years, we bought it with 42K miles on it.



My TII is being exiled from the Garage to make room for the A-6. I plan on keeping it at the office. I have a bay ready for it at my new shop.

 

Sweet looking car Jim. Now hurry up and get that Austin Mini you want.

 

my cousin had a 4.2 A6, it was returned under lemon laws

for something with the brakes, double check them.

 

4 cars? damn, so Jim you are telling me i should open up a surveying company?

 

daayuum! just let her drive the mini so we can go to lunch in style!!
