[BiturboS4] Re: Turbo Issues (Audi S4 vs Porsche 951)

[john sonty]

Ian,

We all understand the legality of the issue--that really isn't
the issue here. The issue here is, as you've stated, "good
customer relations".. But that does NOT mean AOA's offer fork
over half is a "gift".

That "budget" is there to keep current customers happy in hopes
of creating repeat buyers and establishing a good/strong
reputation for standing behind its products, i.e., a
"reinvestment" to improve the bottomline. Or very simply put,
for economic reasons.. After all, it is a for-profit, economic
entity, no?

So let's get off this kick as if AOA is some altruistic entity
out to do us Audi owners favors when we're 1-2k miles out of
warranty, 'k, my friend.. '-)
