I've always been in Canada, actually - I've just discovered last year 
that buying a U.S. Audi can save quite a bit of money vs. buying one 
here, even with some fairly steep shipping costs.  And thanks to two 
listers (Wisconsin and Colorado) I've been able to find very good deals 
on cars in pretty good shape.

I didn't think to take the extra space in my initial note to explain all 
that - sorry for any confusion!  :D
