Re: Disappointed with AoA customer service

Experience with my '87 4kcsq was quite similar to Eliot's observations.  
I still have most of the work orders from the Q for hee first 50,000 
miles.  Seems like the car was in the shop an awful lot  for window 
motors, sunroof problems, reaplcement sppedo, back muffler rusted 
through, etc. etc.  After the 3yr/50,000 mile warranty expired, the car 
actually got better.  Did not have a lot of repair bills until around 
100,000 when I did lots of stuff, both regular mainteancne  and 
not-so-regular(radiator for example).  Overall, it seems to me that 
Eliot's observations are right on the mark.  

Given the price of new Audi's when the Q finally gives up the ghost I 
hope to find my next one with about half of the orignal warranty still 
applicable.  Seems to be about the best of all worlds--lots of warranty 
left and a heavily despreciated price on a car we all know will run and 
run and run so long as it gets decent maintenance.
