thinking of selling
so i am thinking of selling my 202 and 211 and getting something different.
warrnty is expiring in Jan '11 (just turned 41k miles) and really not sure what is out there in the same class - is it worth it to upgrade to a pre-owned 63 and sit tight for a few more years and then a TT55 when in the 2nd year of production?
Thoughts and suggestions.
Want to keep it in the 50-65 range for now - would like a sedan so my little dude can hang with us in the backseat.

I say go to the dark side of torque and snag a used S65.
Newer body style.
Old style is dirt cheap now.

Just up 101 from you. Same exact car as mine, same dealer. Ask for Liz, you'll be out of there by 5pm our time You'll love the compression of the NA motor and the 7 speed tranny. The you go CPO TT.

That S65 is hot - but damn the miles are high - why is no one telling me to the keep the 55? LOL - or if i keep should i buy another 3 years of warranty for piece of mind?

I love my 55 but I would love to try something different in the family. If it's just a temp to get you by until TT irons out the bugs, I am all for trying something new.
Good point on the 65's, you'd HAVE to have warranty on um. One turb pop and your toast.

Good point - just not sur what else is out there besides the E63 or S63 that would really make it worthy to jump ship - the torque is soo much fun - i am calling to see if i can extend my warranty - i am sure the dealer will try and stick it to me.
