The car itself doesn't show signs of problems drives perfectly. My MAF is brand new, so i hope that doesn't have an issue already.


I'm gonna bring it in to have it cleared...then im going to put it up for sale.

I'm working on a deal for a z4 with the dealership...i've got them to come down 5k so far...im gonna keep pulling until I get what I want.

I honestly think he just wants a Z4, really has nothing to do with the Audi. Everyone here is telling him easy things to do and he just keeps talking about the Z4. Oh well. I have the same thought towards BMW. Both the E36 and E34hadmajor problems even with meticulous maintenance. Only the E30 was dependable for me. I hear people have relieability with issues with the 90's to early 2000 Mercedes too. Still better than most other brands. Guess it is all preception and wants.

<EDIT> PS, enjoy the new car and have fun That is all that really matters.

I do want a z4, but you must understand I've had this car since october. This car has been in the shop 9 times since then due to problems. I dont know if all audi's are this way. But I do know because of my TT I have a VERY bitter taste in my mouth. Reason I'm going back to BMW's is because the company started my love for cars, I've owned 3's , a 5 and a 7...all great builds and bodies...


idk


I would like the TT, but im investing way to much money into it.
