Better get an extended warranty on it. They start disintegrating pretty fast and have huge electrical problems these days.

Audi just put a new engine in my A4 with 103K miles on it for damage caused by bad piston rings. I’m ahead of the game at present.

“and have huge electrical problems these days.”

Always have. I remember my dad bought one in the mid-70s as a company car for long-haul travel . Absolute disaster from an electrical standpoint: the thing would just go completely dark and die on the highway over and over again no matter what the dealership did. He dumped it and went back to the tank-like Buicks and Oldsmobiles he favored then. So much for German “engineering”.
