That's what I've heard, too. Audis are dependable more than reliable.

We just picked up a 26k mile '02 LL Bean H6 Outback with an extended warranty... 55% of its original cost.

Julie has been kicking herself ever since she sold her Forester. So we're changing car plans...again. I don't want her driving a used car, since she has to travel to school in the evenings while working full time. So she's going to drive "my" '05 Legacy with AWD and all of it's goodies. I'm looking for an under $10k car to serve as my daily driver. AWD is a must. A wagon or hauler would be ideal. The cheaper, the better, as long as it's reliable. The less I spend on this car, the more I can spend on the 911. (...haven't we all said that at some point?)

We almost bought a 2000 Forester last weekend, but the f_cktards at the dealership we hit gave us some BS line about financing cars with over 100k miles on them and how that's not easy. They wanted to charge us 13.9%!!!

We've got a couple of Subies lined up to look at this weekend, but I like the idea of a nice luxury car if possible. Looks like I have something to think about....

Thanks all!
