where's the problem with that? Some people prefer to do things in a speak softly and carry a big stick manner; I'd have done the same thing

lol...
the last 2 audis we had:
-Roof upholstery (lining) fell down ..on both cars.
-The two transmissions started giving serious trouble. Dealer was unable to fix. Said we should purchase new transmissions. Which were and most likely still are, more than what the car itself was worth at the time. Should note that one of the cars was lady driven. Yet it had identical problems to the other.
-All the interior pieces started flaking off..the switches,radio controls,window switches etc. After a year the numbers on the radio knobs were gone.
-Plethora of mechanical problems. Water pumps failed on both cars.
-Bought them new for $265K TTD each in 2002 and sold for $55K each in 2010. For reference sake, we bought a C Class in 2002 as well for the price of $275K..yet the C-Class can sell now for a minimum of $115K. In fact a guy came to my office and offered $140K for it last year. And it also had none of the problems that we got with the audi.

All in all...would never buy another audi. Sad to know that its owned by the same company that makes my fav car...(lambo)

[S_2NR]

+1 on Merc Resale value.
Had an E240 for about two years and got it sold for a decent price.

[acesinghit]

cz4a, buddy I hear you but have you considered that the VW group on a whole which includes Audi have made great inroads in improving their quality? Compare those PBB to PBM A4's and the old Passats to now and you would realize that the previous generations were nonsense compared to now. Granted it may be insufficient for you to come back to Audi but I still agree that MB is in a class of their own.

That's actually an A5. I just love these cars.

[Morpheus]

[drinker41]

White CZ4A has a point with audis being sheit know a guy with a q7 ( car was posted here... white big rims ) his entire computer system just shut off no ride height no music etc and they told him buy a new one for 20 000 ish buttt on the other hand had a q5 for a while now probably going on 3 years problems as well but carried it in and they fixed everything all on warranty so they are upping their game just not quickly enough

And the reliability of the Range in Trini? They get hammered over here for the lack of reliability.....would be twice as apprehensive owning one in Trinidad.

pretty good. I havent had any major problems.
85,000kms on the dash...and so far had to replace a suspension sensor/ride height sensor and some bushings on the suspension.
Other than that, routine servicing.
but yes, I have heard many horror stories as well. However, they still maintain a good resale value compared to the audi.

[MG Man]

dunno, maybe audis getting better
my sis had hers for 4 years (the one I put up for sale in the classifieds a while back)
No issues with general build quality and trim
mechanically, it blew one coil pack, the trunk lock solenoid went on strike, and it needed a driver door window regulator.........no other issues...........can't remember the mileage tho, but short runs in POS during the week and highway twice a week.....

[White CZ4A]

^yeah very possible they have gotten better.
but they will take some time to get their name back up with the likes of MB and BMW.

[MG Man]

nah man, as long as they keep offering ordee-up headlights and tail lights, people gonna buy
