that might be within my price range, I'll check. Thank
How do I find out exactly WHEN the car what made/released?

Okay good. See, now I learned something new, I didn't know about
mid-year face lifts.

Honestly, I just want the car to run well .... I haven't had a bad
Audi yet, but you all who know a lot more about modifications might
view the Audis differently.
I just love that I can drive 120 on the desert interstate and it
feels like heaven. But I AM going to start caring about gas mileage
and performance pretty soon. And I won't get started on what
gasoline is available and not being used for the US ....

Well, that brings up another question about mileage .... one guy told
me that Audis are definitely good to 200K and someone else said 300K.
I was hoping to get a used one around 100K like I did the last few
times (got great deals) and keep them til 200K or so. My current 95
A6 tho had too many problems at 175K to make it worth fixing it as
the body was starting to peal pain in two places (high UV here) and
just too many things piling up in repairs.
If I could pay say $6K instead of $4K or $4.5K I'd be in a totally
different position.
What kind of difference is there for the Canada, vs. California, vs.
other parts of the country ???
