Hey folks! I just moved to the Okanagan and the weather is pretty decent year round so I’ve been considering buying an ‘03 Audi A4 convertible for my commute to work and back. I have a 6.2l 1500 Denali now so it’s a bit expensive since I drive about 45 minutes each way. Any pros and cons concerning the Audi? I’ve never owned one so I have no idea. It has 150K on it.

My only experience with an A4 was one rental so that's of limited value, but I can tell you I really enjoyed driving that car. The AWD in those feels completely different to me than other auto makers' AWDs.
Should be easy on gas, fun to drive. Excellent handling.

150k on an Audi engine? Maybe be pretty good value and lots of life left. A 2013 is obviously going to be a lot pricier.

A part of that is knowing when to go to your trusted mechanic as opposed to the dealership.
I know this is a bit of a rabbit hole, but when the display screen (basically a monitor about the size of an iPad) went on my Infiniti, the dealership estimated the cost to get it back up and running would be north of $5000.
I bought one from a parts place in the states that came from a Maxima a few years newer than my Infiniti, exactly the same P/N and in excellent condition for $80.
My mechanic installed it easily and asked for $40.
I gave him $80 and explained how much he had saved me.
