Unless you feel like buying a lot of expensive parts, please DO NOT buy the Audi. We get tons of Audi's traded in here with very expensive repair bills. You are better off keeping the Evo, than maintaining a A6 2.7T srsly>

Opt for the WRX if all possible.

Thoughts???
both are sweet imo... but they are very different cars. i'd personally prefer an A4 over an A6. of those two, i'd go with the rex.

The only Audi that is your friend, is the one you buy new and under factory warranty. After that it's all down hill. You wouldn't marry a veteran hooker from the 'bunny ranch' in Vegas. Don't buy a used Audi.

I cannot begin to tell you how annoyed and stressed I am today. I think that, at any given moment, I'm a quarter of a second away from kickin' someone in the gonads.

Looks like I'll be working through the weekend, too.

If you are as infuriated as I am then I bet we're gonna have a fun phone call. Then again, you are leaving early, so what in the world do you have to be mad about?!?

Good to know. I actually can get it with an extended warranty believe it or not. But I will likely stay away from it to avoid the issues...

How about '02-'03 S60 AWD's?

ooh, s60, nice choice!

I notice your preference for AWD... I'd suggest a Subaru Baja for utility's sake but I know you have your work truck to get you through, as well... I personally would really like a Baja...with some off road lights!! w00t
