I have always loved Audi's but I feel like I have always heard about the headaches people have after buying them. I have my eye on this Blue beauty and it has every option avail. except a warranty. I would get a ridiculous deal but it is 488 miles over the 50000 mark that is Audi's warranty limit. Any help with owner satisfaction and/or trouble's incurred would be great. All I want is this car but I am sooo afraid that it will literally fall apart after driving it home and after my last car, I cannot afford to buy a car that is going to do nothing but cost me money all along just to have to trade it in after 2 years b/c I can't afford to fix everything that has gone broke.
Thank you in advance and I am soo happy that these Forums exist!!

Hey Beenie23. Welcome to the forums. The best advice I can give you (I was given this advice from another audi owner prior to buying mine) is to only buy one that has warranty left on it. An '05 with more than 50K is pretty high mileage. If you hold out for one with much lower mileage and warranty, once you buy the car you can take it to your local dealership and have them do a work over and have them take care of anything that needs it. If you read further in these forums you'll find lots of posts of owners having trouble. Probably 90% of the problems are minor but they are problems none-the-less. My instinct tells me that you may want to take it slowly to make sure that a high performance/highly engineered car is right for you right now. Sounds like your tolerance level for any problems is nill. Certainly don't want to kill your buzz, just trying to share some good advice that helped me in my search. Good luck!
