I'm selling my Audi tonight....
I've really enjoyed the car, but the way I'm "paying" for it doesn't make sense... Its a company car and the taxes are killing me.
The car has loads of torque and has been a lot of fun to drive. I had a unique opportunity to get out of my lease so I took it and ran.
I'll probably go down a different road now, possibly (probably not) a 996 or most likely an M5. I hope the people on the Bimmer.org board have grown up since the last time I was over there.
PS, is the "twinturboaudi@yahoo.com" email address worth anything?
Good Luck

I usually stay out of these...
But you said <i>the way I'm "paying" for it doesn't make sense... Its a company car and the taxes are killing me</i> so I figure you're talking ownership tax or some other recurring charge.
Then you say (of the M5) <i>with 700 miles on it I won't pay luxury tax or gas guzzler tax.</i> so now I'm confused. You already paid luxury tax on a small portion of your A6, that money's gone. So how does buying another car without paying luxury tax on it save anything over <b>keeping</b> the car you already paid luxury tax on???
In addition, a number of self-employed folks in S4 seem to think there's a tax advantage to leasing. Not my purview, I only buy 'em.
Hey, you don't need to justify yourself to us...so why even try?
But, in answer to your question, "No" I would not get an M5. No two-wheel-drive vehicles were in the running when I chose this car, and there won't be any in the running when I choose the next one, or the one after that, or the one after that...
Oh, and "No", no yahoo e-mail address is worth anything to me either
Best of luck with whatever vehicle(s) you end up with.
