Took my car in to the Audi dealer for service, because of the worsening issue with my transmission, where it is downshifting abruptly and violently, from 5th to 4th, with no warning, on the highway. I did a lot of thinking, about a variety of factors, 1) car just hit 60,000 miles and will be needing TB replacement, 2) smog coming up in a few months, 3) end of year, good deals on buying a car 4) kids growing and the back seat of the A4 was starting to get cramped, etc... All rationalizations, I know, but whatever works...
So, I did some research last night on area Audi dealers, to see what used cars they had in stock. I found the Concord (Diablo) dealer had a ton of A6s, which is what I was leaning towards. Either an A6 or a B5S4, but the B5S4 wouldn't address the space issues, just my ego.
Anyway, after dropping the car off at service, I perused the used car lot. Tons of A6s. Ultimately, two that caught my eye. Ultimately, I decided on a 2002 light blue A6 2.7T with virtually every imaginable option other than Nav. I got the dealer to take on the cost for whatever repairs come up on my A4 specific to the transmission issues. I get to keep the Supercharger, so I will be reselling it, once it is off the car, and they gave me trade in value that was very very fair, particularly considering all of the after market stuff done to the car.
Now, gotta start researching chips for the 2.7T
