Default sold a '97, buying an '04

I recently sold my 1997 A4 and am considering purchasing a new 2004 1.8T. Are there any concerns and/or considerations that I should acknowledge before I spend the cash.

right, the dealer has reduced the cost of the 04 since 2.0T has arrived. As well, I'm really into the full coverage 4 yr warranty they will re-instate. Probably 10-15 g's cheaper.

watch out for the lack of audi style and the boat-like ride....
