ru sure about that ppl who lease cars dont beat on it? because i kno a lot of my friends do since they kno it's not theirs forever. ppl who finance cars take care of their cars kause it's theres unless they sell it in tha future. and if i ever leased i kno i'd beat tha shii out of it, esp before tha lease is about to expire. and CONGRATS on your father for buying soo many cars. who gives a fck? im just sayin cars are a bad investment. you never get wha you pay for! for most cars atleast.

 

Cars are bad investments...Just have fun when you own it...

Just read a cupple of posts on here and you'll know what to look for. Let us know what you get when you do get it.

 

I dont know about that. I sold a bike and 00 Civic hatch (white so it was pretty rare) for more than I paid for them. In general, yes cars are NOT where you want to invest funds thinking you will end up better off than you started. Ive learned my lesson from now on, I wont spend more than 7k.

 

For the most part "Mature" people lease cars and give them back to the dealer in good condition, because it’s in the contract. You'll notice most leases have perfect paint and a well maintained inside, you get in trouble with the dealer (assuming you bought it new, and it’s a real dealer) if you spill ****, or ruin the paint or just flat out don't take car of it. Not to mention the dealer ensures its in good condition before it sells it from the lot. And yes cars are typically bad "Investments" but that’s a F**king given. You buy a car for personal use and the ability to get from one place to another, some want style, some want speed and others just want it to run. You don't buy a car to make a f**king profit on it, unless it’s rare or its a classic. Your lack of intelligence hurts me, and makes me DOUBT you even drive an 07 Audi like you claim to. Not only do you type like a middle school kid but you have the brain of one to. And the reason I brought my dad up is because he was an example to support my claim.... Unlike you I don't just type annoying, useless, pointless crap to get another point under total posts made. I've seen you post stuff more worthless than "DoobieDemon" and I'm not being sarcastic, your history to type anything and tell us s**t that is irrelevant to these forums has annoyed me.

shiii dude I hope you leave.

Swift A4
Thanks for getting us back on subject.

The info on the parts and prices was what I needed. I'll keep you posted on my search. I will have the Audi dealer I work with now look at it.
Anyone else have any problems with their 1.8T I should look out for?

When I do get the car I'm looking forward to talking to you about the upgrades you've made on yours. Yours sounds like what I'm wanting to do with the one I find. Nice car Swift_A4!
