Hello! I can't believe that I'm 50, have owned all sorts of makes and models, and this is my first Audi!

I just sold my 1973 Triumph Stag and started looking for a nice convertible to commute to work with. First I was looking for a Saab 9-3, then I saw a 2004 A4 Cabrio for sale! It had low miles (75k) and was one of the cleanest cars I had seen for my budget (~$7k). One test drive and an hour of research lead me to "buy it" mode. It's now in my drive waiting to take me to work in the morning!

There is a lot of car here, and I'll need to take some time to acquaint myself with all the features. With 75k miles, I'm thinking I need to get it in for a T-belt and water pump job, and see if there are any other things that come up. There is a little vibration in the rear end that I'm thinking is balance and will get that looked at as well. Other than that I'm looking forward to enjoying the car! Definitely need to deal with the plasticoat on the wheels, but that shouldn't too tough.

I'm very mechanically inclined so let me know if I should be aware of common issues to look for or address.
