Replying to: davreese0506 (Apr 30, 2008 3:38 pm) You need to have a complete diagnostic at an AUDI dealer who has the proper equiptment to check over everything. You could have an electrical problem or short that's causing a drain on the battery. |

I found at a dealership a really, really nice, 2004 2.7T (white/beige) 1 owner 47k, the care has been treated immaculately, all records and the owners book stamped. The dealer wanted 23.9, he's now down to 20.9 I have a gut feeling the guy on the trade in (ya maybe a trade after reading this forum...dear lord) maybe got 15.5-16 on his trade...jsut a gut with the market value...like i said this car is in great shape, no wear on any of the plastic even...(saw it before it was detailed)...Obviously due to age I'm not going to get a CPO that old despite condition, do you think getting him down to 17.9-18.9 range and getting a extended warranty outside of his dealership is an ok deal....or even maybe thru him. I can see or feel anything wrong except for one item, there was a little steering wheel shake (about 45 or so not much different at 90mph), it felt like a balance issue, bearly noticable but there, non the less....My max on a new used audi would be around $27k....and I can throw a $1k-1.5k or so into maintenance a year if need be...First off is this a good deal? Secondly, I perfer the styling of the new body 05....but I can only afford 1st and 2nd gen (save some more and i have access to a friend whos a wholesaler..haven't got him looking yet as I'm not fully convinced im audi bound.)...anyways, am I better off without a few bells and whistles due to what i read in regards to all the electronic problems, also the turbo really helps with horses over the 3.2 up here in Colorado....any input would be appreciated....why can't these cars just be a little more dependable..oh yeah because then how would audi make all there money...

Replying to: oodmoff (May 02, 2008 9:22 am) I have been very pleased with Audi reliability (except the 2000-2001 rotors -- and 47K is young. However, IF it does break, it will likely be breathtakingly exepensive if it turns out to be related to the turbo/engine. I also am a fan of the color combo -- the price, however, at this juncture seems a few thou too high. Get it down below 19 or 18 and I think you will be fine. Self insure (keep some $ in reserve for "warranty" purposes and get the balancing taken care of.) |

I purchased a 2007 Audi A6 new last January from XXX X Audi. TPMS light would come on everytime I start the car. Resetting TPMS didn't help. I called Santa Monica Audi and was told to take the car to any Audi service center. I took to car to other dealership and was told horrible things. They said TPMS sensors are not installed and tires are not original tires which should be Conti or Michelin. Installed are General Tires. Can it be possible any dealership will take parts off to keep and replace original tires with lower quality ones? If they really did what should I do? Should I contact Better Business Bureau? Dealership is in Ca and I live in NJ. |

Replying to: easynone (May 03, 2008 8:00 am) Go back to the Audi dealer you bought it from and they should replace them. Only way you may be out of luck is if this car was sold used, and the previous owner changed them out.

He said he purchased it in January '07. It's May '08 and he's just now bringing this up??  The dealership is going to lay all the blame on him at this point because so much time has passed that it's easy for them to say he changed out the tires. Though, the tires themselves have no bearing on the TPMS function.
