I have big plans for this car.. but im sure it'll be a slow process. I miss my old car, but Quattro + better MPG is looking pretty good

Nice! Make sure to do all the PM like, seafoaming the engine, oil, gas, changing the plugs, engine filter, pollen filter, fuel filter, and make sure the timing belt has been done. Do it if it hasn't.

I test drove that car about two weeks ago. I know exactly where you got that, that place is not that far away from me. I got a different A4 about 5 days after I drove it, I have had mine for about a week today.

welcome to the family.lol

why do some b5's have the little tray/cup holder thing to the right of the emergency flashers and some just have more buttons, like the left side of the flashers????

I don't know why that is either. On mine the far right and left ones control the heated seats then all the others control fog lights, hazards etc. So i don't have the on dash cup holder. I have buttons all the way across. Maybe more options = less drinking connivence? idk, I wouldn't mind another cup holder tho...

you lose the cup holder if you have heated seats. The passenger side control is in the last bay, thus eliminating the possibility of a cup holder.
