brentadams646 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Sold my junker Silverado. Never had more of a hate/love relationship with an automobile as I did with this truck. It had to be in the shop for at least 10 times for rattles, shakes, alignment (before drop), recalls, headliner falling down, etc. Sold her for $36k with 11k miles after only 8 months. Picked up a 2012 Audi A6 Prestige. Wont miss that truck one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KARNUT Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If I drove one of those I would call my truck a hunk o junk too. But I need a truck, wife drives the Geneses. She wouldn't trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Z71 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Nice Audi! Hope you have better luck with it than the Silverado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGDOGx Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It's kind of ironic because Audi's have some of the worst reliability problems out of all major automotive manufactures. Mind you I would still love to own one, but everyone I know that has told me to make sure you dump it off before it hits 50,000 miles because when they break, and they will, they are crazy expensive to fix.

Daryl Z71 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 They'll all be that way soon with the way their slapping turbos, 25spd transmissions that only a shop can service, and neutered motors with cylinder deactivation on these things. Start/Stop technology, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurshot Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That's a bummer about your truck. Was it your first truck? That Schnitzel car is a cool lookin ride. But man! those big ol wheels and teeny skins are gonna be expensive everytime a pothole jumps in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amiodynski Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Funny Story, I had a Cannary Yellow S4 that I loved but the Electrical Ghosts tried to kill me. Final straw was when it was going thru a Carwash with NOBODY in the car and the sunroof and windows started to open and close all on their own! I was done, traded in the same evening on a SVT Focus and never looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of their cars look awesome, such as the op above. But was looking into them years ago & was told to buy from a very reputable dealer with some sort of service agreement/all inclusive warranty program or look for something different completely. Issues noted then were the same electrical gremlins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentadams646 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 The audi is great so far, still under factory warranty and bought it from a good buddy of mine. No comparison to the chevy, Ive owned 6 new trucks and 1 new car in the last 10 years and this was the biggest POS of them all. The audi is my first used car and to be honest, i may never buy another truck again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
