    Well I would apologize but... You'll find another, seems these are on the market quite a bit more than you would think with the low numbers. I'm guessing the age is 'catching up' to owners, itching for something new, etc.

    That said, IMHO it's in amazing shape for the age. The paint is pristine, not a single door ding, 100% straight. Few minor typical road nicks on the front bumper that touch up paint will resolve with no problem. Interior wise, yes, typically wear places as far as door handles (drivers is nice, rear passenger has pealing. The seats are really excellent, my '04 S4 had way more wear on the Recaros in it. High quality tint job.

    Issues I need to address are brakes (waiting for Yellow's and rotors to arrive at ECS, est Friday so hopefully early next week will be putting those on). Headliner is sagging in the back on both sides, not sure what the best way to tackle that one is. I'm guessing an upholstery shop could help, inject some glue or something. I think I need to replace the trunk 'shock' as the lid comes down really easy with no resistance (maybe that's normal but kind of doubt it...).

    I'm also trying to get the service records from Suncoast Audi in Sarasota where it was serviced for most of it's life but no luck so far. Just need to determine if the 75K TB was done of course. Still trying to figure out the extended warranty thing. Not cheap by the quotes I've gotten so far, have an email in to Steve here for a quote.

    All in all, I'm pleased. CJ @ NMS was great to deal with.

    Glad you got a well maintained one. It looked great in the pics. I did some research on the car and nothing came up showing the 75K service being done. FYI.

    No doubt.... it's always a bit stressful buying a used car, what your getting into that you don't know about etc but records wise this one looked good. Had a very fun drive this evening from a late work day, just phenomenal how hard this car pulls from 60 mph. Serious adrenaline rush, that's for sure!!

    I actually talked to the guys in FL today and doesn't look like the 75K has been done. Has had the gas tank recall done as well as service to the DRC. Other than that, all services up to the 70K done. I'll see what JPA Nashville will do the 75k for since there is quite a bit involved beyond just the TB. I've also considered pinging a local VW/Audi guy here in town near my office, talked to him about the brakes and he's done plenty of work on RS 6's, suspension replacement etc. Might be a decent alternative if the dealer price is unreasonable. I'm good with doing things like brakes myself, but don't really have the time or spare vehicle to have her down for a few days doing the TB myself.

    I'll pop open the ECU compartment this weekend and do a visual check on it. Definitely not APR chipped, no response when holding in the cruise set button for 5 (or more) seconds.

    I thought it was pulling the left stock towards you/driver while the key is in the ignition at on position but not started and then something flashes on the dash at a specific rate.
    APR peeps can fill in the blanks...
