I just bought an '06 A4 3.2 Quattro 6MT and I love it. Growing up, one of my childhood friends' dad was a hard-core Audi enthusiast, and had a giant garage with a lift where he would work on everything himself. At any given point he would have 6 or 7 different Audis in that garage, including two rare Quattro coupes which were absolutely gorgeous. My dad even bought an Audi 100 from him many years ago, and that's what I learned to drive a stick shift on.

Now I have my own and it is a great feeling (especially considering that I have been driving a '97 FWD AT Mistubishi 3000GT for the past 5 years... certainly not a bad car, but nowhere near the sophistication and connection to the road you feel in the Audi).

I guess my only question is whether it would be worth while to take it to an Audi dealer and find out what scheduled maintanence has been done and get it checked out. I am mechanically savy and my mechanic and I both checked the car out before I bought it, but I figure that with how complicated modern cars have become that there are certain things better left to the dealer. Any thoughts?

 

You might try pulling up a carfax on it, depending on the shop that will show up with the cafax, welcome to AF

 

Yeah, I've got the carfax on it, and it's clean. It has about 30k miles on it, so it's well traveled for a 2 year old car, but there isn't a scratch on it, and the interior is like new.
