Welcome back! Nice white highlights on the interior.

Boy were you lucky to trade in the Audi while it was worth something! We had an A4 that had all kinds of electrical problems, including randomly dying when starting out as stop lights turned green. Good recipe for getting rear-ended. Neither independent shops nor Audi dealers could diagnose the cause. We traded it in on a newer A4. The dealer in Idaho Falls (1 1/2 hours away) delivered it; nice of them. 5 minutes after they left, I saw smoke coming out from under the hood (it was parked with the engine off). The whole engine compartment was on fire. I called him and said I'd changed my mind. He gave me back my check and had it towed. Traded the old one for a BMW 325 XI. Wonderful car! No more Audis for us!

seems to be a vw issue, sister had a bug that would commonly do that.

And great car OP! I second the comparison between it and the 04.
