Op thinks it's a great buy because he pays 100/month for his dial up service as well cause it's just as fast as it was before just other connections have changed which doesn't matter to him. FURTHERMORE. he pays CASH every month for his dial up so you are in no position to judge him . It's worth it because it FEELS just as fast to him compared To cable.

I'll keep this short and sweet. IMO the A5 is not worth $47k+, not with that VW engine. That's my opinion, we obviously disagree on this.
And second, funny how you accuse me of being immature, yet here you are arguing and reducing yourself to my "level". You obviously can't take sound criticism towards your car. That sure speaks miles about your level of "maturity". You think it's a great buy but I disagree.

That was funny, but thanks for the otherwise useless post.

Let me simplify it for you: Cars are not the Internet.
BTW, Dial-up was never fun, not even in the beginning.
Class dismissed.

Congrats man. I've been actually pondering whether to trade in to an A5 as well. The main drawing points were better fuel economy, nicer interior (at least as far as leather quality), and newer technology (although that's a bit unfair since mine is an 08 and technology has improved since then).
After some careful thought, I decided that the trade-off in reliability wasn't worth it. I think either way I'd end up missing the other car, so it's a lose-lose situation
. Enjoy your new car though. A small part of me is definitely jealous.

I don't expect my Audi to be perfect forever, and I didn't expect that of my G37 either. That said, reliability isn't my main concern...I have to really like everything else that the car offers.

Found out today that my recently sold G37 coupe has been totaled. The car got flooded in a storm cause water to go up over the hood and into the interior. The insurance company immediately totaled it and my buddy at work is awaiting his settlement check.
RIP G37
BTW, do the insurance companies typically give owners full retail value when something like this happens? The new owner isn't sure if he's going to get screwed or not...

Gap Insurance! If he has it, he's golden!! What is gap insurance?
If he gets full retail value for the car, I think he'll be happy. If not, he's only had the car since June, so it could be a big loss to take.

He purchased the car used from me. It wasn't a lease deal and he wasn't upside down on the car. I believe he only financed about $10,000 of the purchase price.

Well, I'm not saying that he's worried about getting less from his insurance company than he owes on the car....I'm just wondering if he'll get the full retail value of the car or if the insurance company will cut him a check for less than that. If he gets less money from his insurance company than he paid me when he purchased the car, then he's losing out on the deal. He's only owned it since June!
