Default Talk about an insulting way to advertise why you are selling your car!

Actual text from the AD:
"Why am I selling it? I purchased it a year ago and just got a job with one of the "Big 3", so I now get a company car and can't park in the lot with and Audi!"

Aren't they down to 4, with Andersen's demise over Enron?

Default They mean domestic automaker, My dad used to sell to them and when he'd go on sales calls

He'd have to borrow or rent a car. Of course this was a long time ago, I thought they got rid of this policy...since the big 3 owns so many foreign automakers.

Default So...have you come to your senses yet? Have you decided to pull the trigger on the 4.2?

Trust me, Bud - you won't regret it. Take it from one who did the very same thing (and went through months of mental gymnastics beforehand). As much as I loved my 2.8 (bought new, special-ordered from the factory, waited 4 months, the whole deal), the 4.2 brings MUCH wider grins to my face every time I even so much as look at it.

Go for it - you deserve it.
