Default My wallet is about to be emptied...

Dropped the wife's 2000 Avant 30V off for new timing belt, CV joint boot, fix new exhaust leak and oxygen sensor. This is going to hurt..........

Default Ahhh, the joys of four ring ownership...

I spent enough time on this forum BEFORE I bought my car to decide that getting on that still had a factory warranty remaining and then paying (alot) for an exclusionary extended service contract gave me the piece of mind I needed to enjoy the Audi experience w/o the worry of endless costs due to future repairs.

P.S. - My knee hurts to but is getting better - almost time to jump on my bike again ;&gt

Default The car is 8 years old and you've owned it for x years. You and your wife must have been...

aware of the perceived and impending financial obligations of car maintaince and your various alternatives thereto, and how the family was going to handle it. What's new, why all the P&M?

If you've owned anything Italian, this is considered cheap and reliable;-)
