But I did work through college, only to fund my car habit
Tell you what, if you really want to drive an audi. I'll sell you mine.
It's a 2000 A4 1.8T with a reprogrammed ECU and cat-back exhaust.
Estimated hp is 200 chipped (stock was 150). The car has only been in three accidents.
1) I accidently hit a parking column. Note: trying to park and stare at a date at the same time is not a good idea. Took it to a specialist in Bay Ares.
2) a concrete pillar fell from a tractor. I had no time to react but drive over it. The car was only in the shop for 2 months, and the only damage done was the subframe underneath. Consider it a $7k upgrade.
Took it to a specialist in Bay Area (same one.)
3) A lawyer rear-ended me a few months ago. Although the damage was minor, I took it to the most expensive body shop I could, just because he was a lawyer. (The irony in that).
4) I have no maintanence records since my warranty expired. Although I assure you that my level of maintianence far exceeds any stealership that charges for this work. I use only genuine parts and replace everything early.
BTW: if you were to run a carfax report on my car, you wouldn't find a single record detailing any of the accidents, which brings me to the next point I have regarding carfax reports on used cars.
