______________________________

Every feature available, meticulous mechanical maintenance, every common issue with these cars has been fixed and upgraded to a better Audi OEM part (fuel pump tappet, metal water pump, metal boost regulator, glovebox door, etc.). My current mechanics are Audi/VW master mechanics and I would be happy to refer you to them if you end up being local. I spent a long time finding this particular model/features/combo.

Everyone knows maintenance trumps mileage and you will not find a better maintained or documented Audi, period. Take a look at the second to last picture, you'll see a huge stack of papers - every single maintenance record for this car, ask me for the 3 page CarFax maintenance history and I'll send it to you for free. 80% of the miles are highway miles and I have used Shell premium gas all but 4 times (not paying attention on 2 road trips). If you know much about cars you know that there is a huge difference between short trips and trips where the car comes up to operating temp for an extended time. A perfectly maintained 10 year old car is a jewel, a 10 year old "grocery getter" is money pit. I have always allowed the car to warm up until the RPMs dropped before driving - to my wife's unending annoyance...

So what are the catches?
- It has the typical 10 year old wear; dings outside, buttons and driver seat wear, etc. That said, when I give rides passengers don't believe it's a 10 year old/190k car but that doesn't make it's a show car
- Front bumper got caught on a curb by the wife, busted a couple clips
- The rear tint is starting to bubble, it doesn't bug me but I don't believe in "surprises" for the buyer
- The bushings are squeaky in the morning when it's cold. After the wheels have turned once or twice it goes away
- That is literally it!

You could fix all of this for a couple hundred bucks, some elbow grease and touch up the paint if you wanted to. I didn't have the time and chose to spend my money on other things that actually affected the vehicle's performance - maintenance/upgrades and quality tires. I could not mention most of those things and you wouldn't notice in a test drive but this car should go to a good home. If you want a (now crazy cheap) luxury commuter, like I did, you found one!
