Getting old sucks!

At almost 67 years old, I find it harder and harder to get out of the Fusion after long drives. I have lost almost 40 pounds so far this year, and for the most part my joints are very happy with this weight loss. but these old bones are still getting stiff easier.

So today the Fusion went bye bye! It is much easier for both me and the misses to get in and out of our new, Audi Q3 S line Premium 45 TFSI quattro!

I went out today just to look at BMW, VW, MB and Audi SUV's and couldn't pass up the deal. Paid 29K for the Ford 4 years ago, got 19K on trade in.

It is a CPO vehicle 6K miles on it.

But since it is less than 12 months old, I get full new warranty Plus the 12 month 20K miles CPO warranty

Not sure how long this link will work

The Army Green color looks much better in person and in daylight

Hey. Congrats! A neighbor has a Q something in that color and it is striking. Really great color.

I can still get into my 4, as can my 65-year-old sister, but there will come a day where an SUV is just easier all around.

That said, my dog can just fly into the 4 hatchback—an SUV will be more of a challenge as she gets older.

At any rate, enjoy! I think you will love it. It’s an upgrade in every way, IMO.

As far as getting older, yeah I feel it at 55 yrs old.

Thanks!

This was parked in the showroom. Just reduced by 12K

Very pretty, but autotragic transmission. would have loved to take a test drive

Cool. link looks to be down, but the Q3 is a nice package.

Side note, it looks like Audi and BMW are trying to outdo each other on how long a car name they can create.
