Then again - I drive a complex car already... Still as bad as the 7's can be - I hear even worse about Audi's.

$$$?
Dunno... $15k-ish?

As far as Audi reliability I have had better luck with the Audi's compared to my past BMW's but they still could have some costly problems.
Thanks - gives me something to think about.

Lol he said 15ish. That's at 26 and will probably end in the low 30's. I just did an autotrader search on 03's. Only 23 for sale in all the US. Prices are CRAZY.

I hope this holds up when I am ready to sell in about 2 months.

That old Merc is cool. Much better than the droopy-ass looking old 7.
