Hey new to the forums...
I've owned a 1998 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T for about 4 years now...
It's at ~115,000 Miles but the guy I bought it from had rebuilt the engine at ~60,000 Miles...
I just landed a job as a Sales Manager @ Avondale Toyota in Phoenix. I'll be starting in February, 2010.
I know very little about cars and want to expand my knowledge as much as possible, specifically about Audi & Toyota.

Repairs...
I've had a few repairs on my Audi since I got it...
*My rear drive shaft went bad and I had that replaced
*My serpentine belt snapped (not the one that controls AC, the other one lol) and I had to have that replaced. My buddy had to remove the entire front end of the car to get in there.

A few problems still exist...
*Turbo is basically no good, wish I could be more specific
*Rear Wheel Bearing is a little loose, mechanic told me if I planned to sell it in the next year not to worry about it
*ABS light is on, Mechanic tried to run a diagnostic test on it but his equipment wasn't compatible with the audi
*Engine light is on, Mechanic said it has to do with the Fuel Pump... He suggested replacing the filter first, and if that didn't work, the entire pump. Due to labor costs I decided not to do anything with it yet.
Cosmetic Fixes:
*Sunroof went bad, had it fixed... it doesn't seal completely now
*My grill has fallen out countless times, keep having to replace it
*My front lower bumper came off when I drove up on a parking lot curb
*Side weather stripping has come off a couple times
*Trash can knocked off my side mirror, replaced the mirror and had the frame molded, you can hardly tell
*Driver side mirror was permanently stained, had it replaced
*My rear drive shaft went bad and I had that replaced
*My serpentine belt snapped (not the one that controls AC, the other one lol) and I had to have that replaced. My buddy had to remove the entire front end of the car to get in there.
