    Well it's official, I'm the new caregiver for 905341

    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.

    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.

    Love the Blue/White color combo. The best, in my opinion. I looked long and hard for one w that color combo w/ low miles but couldn't find one. I went for a Black/White w/ my RS6, but mainly jumped on it for the warranty/53k miles. Yours looks great for 149K, somebody took good care of her.

    RAISES HAND. No tranny tune - TC replaced at 49k. NEVER had any other tranny issues. I treated this car like a new-born for 10+ years... always waited for engine oil to warm up before prompting turbos to kick in. The dimple above the gas filler door is from a baseball when a little league player fouled a ball off of a fence, and i painfully watched in bounce along the parking lot until it contacted my (your) beast. Argh! No body work nor re-painting of any kind. If the sunroof doesn't retract - it gets fussy sometimes - use the key in the driver's door technique to close it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did ... it was just time for a change, for me (GL550)

    Oh...the coilovers are H&R - they replaced Stasis which had replaced the crappy DRC ... and it never saw an auto car wash
