Default Got my lemon back from the dealer today and another $1000 repair bill

Well my 2000 TTQ with 29,000 miles got it's 4th instrument cluster which also turned out to be what was causing the awd not to work as well as the other dashboard lights. Honestly I would trade this car in today if it was actually worth anything. Repair bills have proven it to be about as reliable as a Maserati Biturbo. My dad did the smartest thing ever this year...he bought a new Honda. I really feel sorry for anyone who paid at or above list price the first few months the car came out. I am now parking the Explorer for the summer and I am going to drive this POS till the wheels fall off to recoupe some of my costs. Good luck with your lemons fellow TT owners, Audi got us good!

Thanks fellas, I don't feel better just yet but seeing that picture of a TT with all the LEMON stickers on it was funny on myaudittsucks.com. I will check my states lemon laws. Kelly Blue book on a trade in my area is 13,500. I could try to sell it outright but based on previous experience it is next to impossible to sell anything that is stick shift unless you are practically giving it away. Just doesn't make economic sense. If I had driven it 100K I would feel like I got my moneys worth.

I think you just have to try and have something fixed three times, then it's lemoned. It's also treble damages, but I don't know if that's purchase price or present value. But, manual trans doesn't make it any harder to get triple money.
