Good Evening from the East Coast everyone!
Obviously I am new here but I am looking to sell my TT 225 and move on to a sedan that is more fitting of my lifestyle. I don't do as much driving, well in my personal vehicle anyway, anymore and would like something with a bit more room, more power, more comfort, and again, more power. I'm not a speed demon per se, but I like the ability to hammer down on the throttle when needed to pass the little old lady on the highway. I'm also quite particular when it comes to cars so I have narrowed my search down to the RS6, an E39 M5, a Pontiac G8 GT, or a first generation Cadillac CTS-V.
I am already partial to owning Audi/VW only because I have experienced the standard TB changes, temp sensors going, SAI leaks, N75 valves and the like. Even though this would detract most buyers, I honestly have a clinging sense to stay with Audi since I know it so well, plus I already bought a VAG-COM!
Anyway, I searched and couldn't find a complete Buyer's Guide, but I was wondering what else I should be looking at beyond the key things like the 35,000 mile TB change and DRC recalls. What else would there be to look out for on a car say under 60,000 miles?
I would love to move on an RS6 within the next two to three months required that I either find a clean one at the dealer and get a good trade in price on my TT 225 or that I can find a good private party one and be able to swing a loan. I have great credit for a 23 year old and would end up putting down at least 2,000 to finance the loan. Money is not a problem in my current financial situation so payments aren't a big deal.
Thanks very much in advance for any/all help!:addict:
