Please god find a different car!

hahaha I never was a fan of Audi's, to me they arejust a over priced VW's. And my brother has had it in the garage for over a year and I have heard about them having major issues and that's why I have not bought it yet but thanks for the heads up, I might as well just keep the 43, and the 63 and get rid of the 230K

The nice thing about audi is they are kind enough to post their resale amount on the grille.

Now Im looking at E55 amg, and there is a TON of mechanical/electronic issues being discussed over on their board. So, what is your (biased..I now...) opinnion between the C43 and the E55, with regards to reliability and low maintenance up keep? I don't really need the almost 500 HP of the E55, but the extra creature conforts and leg room are nice, however the C43 is plenty for what I want (DD), plus savings. C43 are much more rarer to find than E55...what you think? Thanks a bunch....cheers.

I own both, the C has needed more attention, but then again it is a daily driver. The E has been extremely reliable, only annoyance has been blown lights which seems to be a common complain....
