OK, need help again... [&:] I am having finding a 2.8 30v for $2kish with decent miles (hopefully under 70k), any ideas? And ebaymotors is not helping...
2k for a 70k Audi with a 2.8? Good luck... expect to pay at least 4k for one in nice shape, and I'm not talking an A4, probably a 90 or 100. Expect to pay at least 7-8k for a 70k A4.

Ebay is not a good palce to buy a car. Many cars end at vales higher than what they're actually worth. Used car dealers do this all the time because of it.

matrix is from portland oregon. Are you?

I like them, they have been nice.

They are on nearly every audi site i know, and they work diligently to maintain and prosper their image. I would trust them implicitly with my car.

Yeah, well I'm from the surrounding area.... McMinnville right now, beaverton or gresham (probably) after afghanistan, and yet again I appreciate the help and advice . I looked at their site, apparently I need to contact them directly, no biggie, I just wanna have some good ideas when I get back so I don't get screwed like I did when I got back from Iraq...[:@]

Hmmm, sounds like my unit's schedule, you know his last name by chance or where he's from?
