Default Back in the fold...

Just stopping in to say howdy!

Long time lurker and now back viewing.

I sold my 2003 Allroad 2.7 a little over a year ago. I really enjoyed the car but had several small problems that left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

Two weeks ago my wife's former boss offered to sell us his 2004 A8L for what the local dealership would give him on trade towards a new S8. Now, we are back in the Audi family!

I enjoy reading the postings here and look forward to sharing my experiences!

Happy New Year!

Welcome back to the world of owning an Audi.
And, I might add, the best possible vehicle if you could only own one car for all purposes. IMHO of course!

It sure feels good to have someone else take a $45k+ hit!

I wish you many miles of motoring fun and I hope your air suspension compressor lasts longer than mine did!

Thanks for the notes. I actually replaced the Electronic Air Suspension in my Rover with Springs! All is well now (after only $8000 in repairs in two years)!

I love the Audi and may need to sneek it away from my wife on occaision. But she does enjoy driving the G500!

I would get a little narrow minded about taking that $40,000 hit in only 3 years. The used Audi was a great deal & a great car for the $$$!
