why not.....i mean i bought my 99 1.8T while i was in college all by myself for about $10000 at the time and did all the routine maintance to it,had no problems.......i still have it today and it has served me well as a commuter car,traveling about 150 miles to home from college and back on the weekends......few minor problems but nothing that would kill my bank.....and think about it, i was in college paying for my audi monthly plus making sure i have enough to maintain it.....johnalex13 just finished college so he should be more prepared than when i was in college(partying, while trying to pass).....is this good advice?
