Replying to: nimhrod (Oct 12, 2006 5:47 am) Thanks for your advice David. To get the 3.90 it has to be a new car or it will be 5.0%. Needs to have the GPS, keyless go, lthr wood steering wheel,xenon,lthr. I'll be looking all the time, but if you see anything of interest give me a ring. I Ebay everyday too. But if I can get a 05 a lot cheaper I'll jump for it.

Replying to: nimhrod (Oct 12, 2006 5:47 am) One other thing to consider if you are thinking of a CDI. The new Bluetech engines are not iron, but aluminum alloy. translated- not as durable.   Ummm, I'm thinking that one has nothing to do with the other. True, if you took a sledge hammer and started bashing the side of the block, you would most likely break cause considerable to the Alloy block well before you broke through the Iron block. That said, a case can easily be made that suggests that the Alloy block will significantly out last the Iron one. What?!? Blasphemy!   Well, not really. I have no problem believing that DC designed the Alloy block so as to be more than rigid enough to deal with the torsional forces applied to you typical engine block. Assuming that is the case and that the crank, pistons, rods and all other moving parts are kept perfectly positioned, the only wear point would probably be considered to be the cylinder walls. The thing is that the cylinder walls can be sleeved or coated with any number of metals or silicon formulations that will actually make the cylinders considerably stronger than Iron.   Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: nimhrod (Oct 12, 2006 5:47 am) Called a couple of dealers in and out of the area. No one has a 06 car with keyless go and even new 06s for that matter are east to find. Except a dealer that is asking $57 for a used with 12000 on it 1900 miles away. I looked into the 07 but for what I want it is out of my price range plus the wait. I have changed what I want many times just to try and find it cheaper, not really working out. Still looking
#460 of 570 What is the right tradein price for 05 CDI? by cctdi Oct 23, 2006 (5:41 pm)
I just did a testdrive the 07 A8 this afternoon; the car felt no faster than my 05 E320 CDI which was offered $37100.00 for the trade in at 14k miles. I plan not to work so much as I am entering 60 and don't drive as much as I intend to take easier life. In order to enjoy somewhat mountain winter snow, I look into the A8. The price I was given was only one k off $74020.00 MSRP( with the ppd package) for the royalty discount(I did own 04 4.2 Allroad). The 07 4.2 engine is a direct inject 32 valves instead of the 40 of 06 and earlier ones. Any advice or suggestion will surely be appreciated! The CDI has been an excellent car, it went back to dealer onetime for 6.5k check up and onetime the oil and filter. Much less trips to the gas station is one of the best features that CDI gives to me. Replies to this message: gagrice (Oct 23, 2006 6:18 pm)

Replying to: cctdi (Oct 23, 2006 5:41 pm) If it was my car I would offer it for sale in CA. You should get near what you paid with 14k miles. Dealers are all going to shaft you on trade-ins. That is the name of the game. They are at least $8k under what it is worth. You wonder how they sleep at night. Dwelling on the bottom with lawyers.
#463 of 570 "Green" question on 06 cdi with new low-sulfur fuel by kpc02 Oct 27, 2006 (7:19 am)
Can anyone explain the straight six 320 cdi's current pollution specs re sulfur dioxide with the new fuel formulation. Aslso does anyone know about levels of particulate ie soot? Thanks! Replies to this message: hlcastelo (Oct 27, 2006 7:38 am)

Replying to: kpc02 (Oct 27, 2006 7:19 am) I thought I would mention in passing that MBenz states that the ultra low sulfur diesel can be used in the 06CDI. There is no impact on mileage or the warranty. I wanted this confirmed in writing. I am finding the price of the ultra to be the same as the other in South Florida.
#465 of 570 Soon to be Bluetec Owner by tuffy72 Oct 30, 2006 (10:45 am)
Hello all. I finally made my up my mind. I am gonna purchase the 07 320 Bluetec via EDP. I placed my order a week ago. I figured with $4k savings minus the $700 plane tickets I saved enough to get everything I wanted plus cheaper than an 06 used. I've looked and looked, but I could not find an 06' with everything I wanted. The only drawback was the car will be ready on the 14th of Dec. Then I am looking at 6-8 weeks for the car to come from Germany. It will have the P2 package which includes keyless go, xenon, panaramic sunroof,GPS,sat radio, bluetooth.

Replying to: tuffy72 (Oct 30, 2006 10:45 am) I'm jealous. All that and a trip to Europe. Sounds wonderful. I have strongly considered that option. Have a great time.
