That time has come for me to reprioritize things in my life. The first, and largest step is to move onto another car platform. I bought the vette when I was still with my g/f of 5 years because we had everything planned and it made sense then. Well, now I need to reprioritize and move on since she decided to be a whore and I decided to actually think about who I was really dating. I am looking at one car platform specifically and do not plan on moving away from it. I would like to buy a 2004 and up Audi A4 (no 1.8), if anyone has any reviews or opinions on this car and what it is. I am not planning extensive mods, other than rims and some other small things. It will be used daily for work, etc. The newer the better, highest mileage I will buy is 60K and IF at all possible a S4 would be AWESOME. But I would like my budget to stay under $18K. Anyone? ---

You can find S4’s under 18K for sure, and they are an awesome car, although very pricey at times. GL man ---

Votblindub here can chime in here, as an A6 owner. Sounds like you got solid logic behind your choice, get an extended warranty if possible, and I wouldn’t consider something that’s not CPO. Celtics’s is a salesman of Audi/Vw so he can give his insight as well. Vette is a good toy, Qauttro Audi is a good car. ---

LOL, a Vette is just as good a ‘car’ as an Audi. Perfectly acceptable for daily driving in warmer climates. ---
