    Farewell

    Well.
    This is it for me.
    I'm parting ways with my dear S6
    It has been a hell of a steed for almost 9 years but I have little confidence after they had to pull the car apart twice to find leaks after replacing the heat exchanger and the bills skyrocketing.

    I just don't feel comfortable having a leak pop up somewhere down the road plus it is just time for a change.
    I'm also taking advantage of lease incentive, tax credits, and free charging to try electric for a few years at least.
    I'll pick up my new E-Tron GT next week. I'm trying to keep an open mind and see it as a fun adventure into the world of EVs.
    Farewell and good luck to you all. It has been fun having technical discussion with many of you and trying my best to assist all of you.

    Man this is a loss for the C7 section! Glad you're staying in the rings though.

    That’s really too bad the car determined your exit, never the way it should be.

    I’m sure we’ll hear from you in the future. Until then, god speed. Enjoy the E-Tron!

    You'll be missed on the C7 boards...

    We still need to try and connect since in July it'll be 2 years since moving from MN to CO. You made a great choice, the e-tron GT is definitely on my shortlist, however, my wife conned me into an outdoor kitchen overlooking the mountains to the tune of 250k so there went my R8, I'll be driving one of our 5 ICE Audis for quite a while.

    Congrats!

    I don't recall that ownership of a C7 is required to follow and occasionally post on this board. I'm sure everyone will agree that you are more than welcome to keep tabs on us. Maybe in a few months you can report back on your comparison between the S6 and the GT. Thanks for your help; you really did provide lots of assistance.
