Ha whoops. That's still awesome. And thanks! I bought my B7 today! Hopefully you find one soon.

Haha yeah I like it. Don't have to do any of that Army stuff, but still work on government hours and such. Pay is great too since my company earns $2K for every hour a bird is flying. And let me tell you: We fly a lot around here. I'd say 70 - 75 hours a week. That's $140,000 to $150,000 a week they get. Parts are all paid for by the Army too. Well at least some of my taxes are coming back to me Yeah theres lots of B7's around. I like 2007 or 2008's the most. Love the grille on them. Found a nice S-Line 08 thats selling for $20K. 43000 miles on it. Good deal? The trade in value is $18,400 so I should be able to take it for aroun 19K. I also plan on doing a $4000 down payment. Thoughts on my strategy? haha sorry for the numbers. I like math.

Wow that's some good money!

And I think that sounds like a good deal, is it a CPO? 08s are probably your safest bet maintenance wise. Revised DV, Cam Follower, and Coil Pack. I think you can go in there and definitely make a sale at 19k.

You're lucky you have lots of B7s around, made my search hard but I wanted a 6sp Quattro (makes its harder).

You mean 6 speed manual or automatic? Ohh and 99% of the a4's are quattro around here. If ya care enough go on autotrader and search in zip code 17109 and I usually do a 75-100 mile radius. Lots available in the 15-22K range. Wish there were S4's or RS4's. I would LOVE that! But yeah that example I used would be perfect. It's a nice red too I checked and with the 4K trade in at a price of 19K (loan for 15K) I would like to take out a loan for 4 years at 2.49 apr (what my credit union offers). Payments would be $330 a month. I'm liking my options.

6 speed manual. Down here in NC Quattros aren't as common and less for sticks. And AutoTrader is clutch. So is Carsforsale[dot]com.

Yeah, there are a couple of B6 S4s but I like boost Neighbor down the street has an B7 S4 black and its sexy as can be.

That sounds like a steal man and it's got you really excited. I hope it works out for you!

You know it man. I'm from Germany so Audi's and pretty much any European car is up my styling alley. Audi is the best I can afford. Still got student loans to pay off. :/ Once those are gone though, look out
