Well, its been a good ride, although watching this board for the last 7 years has probably made me overly nervous about upcoming repair bills...
Tonight I traded in my 04 6MT CGP with 88k on the clock. I drove it off the lot almost 7 years to the day, with 0.5 miles on it. The only major issue was the AC blew, but was covered under goodwill at 75k.
For an amazing trade-in price, I went to the dark side and took home an 08 A4 2.0T. Probably not as reliable, but 58k less miles and a bit more attention to fit and finish. I even test drove the new TSX and TL and I couldnt pass up the 3yr old A4.
Anyway, take care guys, you have one of the best car forums out there. If anyone wants my dealer service manual (which also covers most of 05/06 models) for $30 shipped, PM me...I dont have enough posts for BM.

Good luck with the A4. I drove Audi's for years, and if I was driving the kind of miles that you evidently do (a little over 11K a year), I'd probably still be in one (as much as I enjoy my 05 TSX......). I'll admit that I never kept one beyond the 50K mile waranty, but for the most part they treated me well. As with any car, I'm of the opinion that the key to being satisfied is finding a good dealer, and as long as you can do that, I don't doubt you'll be happy with your purchase.
