As the owner of a 1999 A4 1.8 Quattro turbo, DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!
Head straight to an Acura delaership and buy a 2004 TL.
Where do I start on the problems that I have had with this car? Problems that Audi will not stand by; they will simply blow you off and leave you with a serious repair bill. If you do buy the car, get the timing belt chained at 60,000 miles, no matter what AUDI"s owner's manual says. The brakes will be expesnive. The Power Output Stage will shut the car down and make it not operational. This has happened (and needed to be repaired at my cost) twice!
This car was nice at the showroom and great for 2 years. I am a previous BMW owner and there is no comparison. I had zero problems in 4 years with my Audi (I only gave it up due to moving north). After two years, the Audi has been a nightmare. Within 6 months, I am going to unload it for a major loss and buy the Acura TL for my wife.
After my awful customer satisfaction from Audi and them blowing me off on a $3800 engine repair (due to timing belt failure), I promised to pass along my negative Audi experiences.
and if possible send some pic. too...
