Good luck with it though.

ive only had the car 2 weeks and so far
1. bolts in the tranny came loose causing a complete loss of power
2. discoverd headlamp washers dont work
3. Hose came off tday

I think audi certifed means you will be certfiable after a couple of weeks.


ps just sent a nice long email to on of the bigwigs at audi about my horror stories, I may sound whiney but you spend over 20 grand on a car you want things to go smooth for a little while

i know what you mean but its hard to have trust in a car when stupid things keep going wrong, my main reason for getting it was i wanted something fast and stylish so i could give my gas guzzling v8 5.9 grand cherrokee a rest which after 4 years of service has never needed anything other than brakes and tune ups and oil changes

Audi Certified means they are covering the costs to fix all this stuff right?

Yes but going to the dealer every week is not something i want to do. I hoped to never go in there except for my first oil change
