Leaving Toyota for a European brand, 2001 Audi A4 (2 litre Limo) Options

[Illyont]

Decided the fifth gen is too old to use as a daily driver, and I can't have two cars. Also, safety stuff are getting better all the time. A 13 year old car (14 years in some months) just isn't gonna cut it in the long run.

Posted this info in the fun fundraiser-thread, but decided to move it into it's own thread. I don't want to steal or go too much off-topic in other peoples threads..



I got a new car today. It's not a 5th gen, and not a 05' Corolla. I know you all are gonna hate me for this, but after driving with the car for 24 hours I'm just totally sold out.

2001 Audi A4 2.0 Limo (4 doors and a regular trunk). 130 bhp and pretty strong low end. It use about half as much gas as my old Celi And my insurrance actually goes down a bit (450$ less every year compared to the Celi/Corolla).

Car have 31 000 miles on it, waxed and polished by professionals once every year, all maintenance done at the Audi dealership, and the car was sold brand new to this 56 year old man in 2001. It looks absolutely brand new outside and inside and runs like a champ.

The guy at the dealership that is selling this car is actually one of my closest neighboors(spelling?). He cut 3150$ off the price without even arguing, and they throw in all the expenses for service/maintenance, yearly taxes and this new Europian regulations, control crap for the rest of 2005. I also get a full warranty for the next 3 months, and 8 original aluminum rims with brand new tires (summer and winter tires).

It's equipped with a double automatic A/C, 9 speakers!(they really pack a punch, belive me), electric windows, mirrors, heated mirrors and lots of really advanced electronics I have never even heard of.. They are supposed to keep the car on the road stability this and stability that. I don't know.


The car is soo smooth and easy to drive (manual 5 speed stick of course!). Color is silver grey metallic paint and some sort of very light colored brown inside. A really large trunk and back seats can be flipped down to make almost a station wagon sort of trunk.

Complete cost for all this: 40 000$ US. I feel like this rich ass daddy's boy when driving around in this car. I'm not though.. I always pay for my own stuff.
