jim1969 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It's time to say good bye to my trusty LGT. Picked it up July 2004 and have enjoyed it immensely. Stock, stage 1 and 2 were all fun. But it's time to move on. Picking up my new car tomorrow and giving my LGT to a family member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob-2 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 2014 a6 3.0t You should enjoy that car. Friend had an Audi and really liked the car. After the 3rd year however it started to need too much work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJr Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 ^ so true, dump the Audi at 3 years! Trusty & Audi cannot be used in the same sentence after 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Supposedly their quality has gone up in past few years. But I am still a bit nervous based on the German's track record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'm sure their quality is good, but I suspect they make all the drivetrain/electronic parts to only last approx 3 years so you will buy their new car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tytek Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It can be a crapshoot with German cars. Some are bulletproof, while others have tons of problems. My Audi that I bought new had no issues for over 90k miles - the dsg was stellar. But they are not consistently reliable like many Japanese products. I really like the supercharged motor in that A6. Underrated from the factory... the A6 will be a peach to drive. And the interior is fantastic. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__raj Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Thanks guys. Picked it up today. Crazy amount of electronics to learn. Enjoy!!!! My lesson learned on excessive electronics(07 MDX technology), make sure you have a good battery otherwise will get crazy & random issues. A $100 new battery fixes it.
