...Just signed the papers yesterday on my 2002 A4 3.0 Quattro I test drove it over the weekend and of course couldn't bring myself to give it back. I fell in love. I love all of the options and the drive is strong and solid. I've still got some of the 50,000 waranty on it, so maintanence will be covered for a while but how much does maintanence usually cost? i.e. oil change, brakes...normal stuff... Any info on this is much appreciated

 

Congrats on your new car and enjoy it treat it like your son/daughter

 

I definitely willl...How long have you owned yours?

 

Maintenance is not cheap for an Audi. It requires a substanital amount of preventative maintenance and does not react well to neglect. However, if you treat it well, it should be very nice to you in turn. If you go to the dealer for service you will get massively overcharged. Try and find a good Euro mechanic in the area.

Do no go to Jiffy Lube or any quick change place for your oil changes if you value compentent work.

 

Congrats on the car.

It will be more expensive, but a hell of a lot more enjoyable than the Japanese/American car.

Make friends with an autoshop near you that specializes in german cars preferably.

 

congrats on your car
