Farewell to my TL A-Spec

It's been an interesting year behind the wheel of my TL A-Spec, but it's time to move on.

Just wanted to say thanks to all the great people on Acurazine and wish you all well with your cars.

Take care!

Just because you got rid of the TL doesn't mean you have to leave Acurazine! What did you get to replace it?

Just because you sold or traded in the TL doesn't mean that you have to stop coming on the acurazine. What car did you get?

I got an Audi S4, in the same colour combination as the TL (Gray on Ebony). Little bit regretting not getting the A6 though. It's kind of snug in the S4.

It was a cash deal on the purchase (of the TL).

Actually, it's a sedan. Interestingly, the day I took possession of the S4 (two days ago), another purchaser took possession of his RS4 (sedan). My god, that thing is stunning.

I'll try and take some later today, and post them this evening. I'm contemplating putting a drop on it, but don't want it to be too "racy". Please let me know if you think it looks okay as it is. Thanks.

wow...after looking at those pics...NO HARD FEELINGS for leaving the TL

but do Audi's have a crapload of problems like the VW's do? and are repairs ridiculously expensive like on the VW?


PS - how many miles did your TL have and how much did you sell it for?

I haven't heard any S4 horror stories, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed nevertheless.

I got about 74% of the value from my TL back (it had 15,000 km on it).
