Just got back from the guys over at LW Automotive in PA, Excellent car lot and they have great customer service and a fine selection of euro hotrods.
15793
They gave me a steal as I paid cash, great customer service and willing to work with you... I was deadset on another one in Avus, (dealer sucked) but blue is what I really wanted and although I really wanted the warm weather package and the black exhaust, I heard the solar was just a pain to deal with in the cold and the exhaust I can do myself. The car had everything else I wanted including Carbon, 2 tone interior, and I got lucky with coilovers, (red springs, anyone know the make?) bigger sway bars and factory rns-e already installed.
Miles are at 149, but an audi dealer has had it serviced it's whole life, even up until a few thousand miles ago (I think it was an oil change as it looked good on he stick and was perfect.) it's a 1 owner car as well, looks like he spared no expense as even all the soft touch buttons inside are in awesome shape. Then eventually traded it in at Mercedes...
I think I'll be doing a timing belt soon as it's now due again, it also needs rotors/pads but I'm ok with doing all this at the price I got the car for. :)
Back in 08 it had all this done:
Oil and filter changed
Engine removed to complete repair
Engine cleaned
Battery/charging system checked
Engine oil cooler replaced/repaired
Torque converter replaced
Alignment performed
Two wheel alignment performed
A/C refrigerant recharged
Headlight(s) replaced
And also a bunch of other dealer visits, list was pretty long... So I HOPE the tranny holds for awhile :)
Going to check later to see if it has a tranny tune at all yet, That would ease my mind a little as it's supposed to help the tranny live longer.
Anyway, the car is clean, I simply couldn't pass it up. I'll be doing a full correction on it as soon as I can to remove all the swirls I know are there :)
It's a rocket, and i'm happy with it right now. Looking forward to refreshing it. :)
