seeking advice: ovlov v70r..

[thejimrose]

yea ive seen higher mileage tips for under 20. i would only do a b7a4 manual
[tip is dreadful in that car] and want lower mileage, prefer still under
warranty.. i got my a4 at 100k and have replaced everything. i want
something i can drive for a while before it starts falling apart.

there are manual sline sedans with 30k for ~20k all over the place. great
car, just small.. cramming my 6" travel MTB in the back of my a4 has gotten
old.

if you see a manual ping me!! =)
