Ok got another X bug and itch again.

[TwinTurboGTR]

So as most of you know I have a 01 X5 4.4i. Yes it has some work on it and yes sometimes it is a real pain in the ass, but you know what, it still turns heads, still runs excellent (91k on the clock). But I also have an 06 Audi A6 4.2 s-line. Now I love this car. It is awesome to drive, looks great and love how it looks after I deleted the front license plate mount in the front. But there are problems, nothing mechanical on the car it self. I just get frustrated that I can't work on this damn thing. Every little thing, it must be hooked up to a VAGCOM system and then go through all these procedures. It is just a real PITA! I want to be able to have a little wrench time to balance my life out. I mean Holy Chi*st, doing an oil change requires rocket science knowledge and computer engineering. Just to get the Service indicator light to reset, needed to be hooked up to Vagcom to clear the system, reset the light, then diag test??? 45 minutes!!! It is just nuts. The last straw was the tranny fluid. So I know the fluid isn't cheap, but when it cost $198.00 for a gasket??? That is just ridiculous. I love the car, but I HATE working on the car. At least with the E53, I love driving it enjoy working on it. Just not those dumb ass window regulators, but besides from that, I love it. I found an 06 e53 4.4i. 95K on the clock, fully loaded with NAV, cold weather package, Xenons. The price is a bit high at $16K, but I am sure I can get it down. My only concern is, just like anyone else would have would be the tranny and chain guides. I can't figure out how many owners yet, but those are the 2 main concerns. I am going to assume it was an off lease, then a CPO and now to this dealership. So we will see.

It is in Silver on Blk which looks nice. I would prefer to have black, but beggars can't be choosers. I'd also like a 4.8i, but for what people are asking for them they can keep 'em. I want to stay under 100K on the clock and a south of a 15k sticker price. I know it will be hard, but not impossible.

SO here we go!!!

Just want to get some opinions on it. I am also wondering if I could do a straight up trade with some cash back. I'd doubt that would happen. No hurting in asking, worse that can happen is no.
