a former g/f had a black A4 quattro wagon that was such a mechanical PITA it was named Satan.
fuel injection probs, stranded in traffic on I-95, called AAA
coil paks so many times it got ridiculous
ball joints
horrendously expensive brake jobs
best/worst was when the seat heaters started smoking and Bridget had to bail out of the car, reach under the seat and tear out the wiring so she could get home.
What else would you like to know (the list of shite is loong) ? the caryou're looking at isn't black auto quattro with black leather seats (burnt) and Appalachian Mtn Club sticker in back window, is it? if so, RUN AWAAY.
