If you can't dominate the racetrack, at least pay homage to the classics and exude style at the same time. If anything, PLEASE get it out of the hands of whomever wrote that eBay ad. The speling gave me a hedacke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the owner?/builder? can't spell and it's their first eBay ad, I wouldn't trust the output numbers. Turnip tee-ruk lost some more produce recently.

oh8sti Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm interested in knowing the answer to this as well. With a 35k car you have oil changes - let's call a lambo oil change $500/3k miles (I'm not saying that's what it would be, just for the sake of the conversation). Then you might have regular maint. on that totaling 3k? (Brakes, misc. stuff?). Let's tack on $2,500 for a 45,000 check up. Call it $5-6k/year? Seems pretty reasonable considering the car and brand. Right? Am I talking crazy here? Ps- I'm just putty out crazy expensive numbers (for me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical maintenance (oil change, filters, etc) will be approx $1K/yr. Not nearly as much as some Ferrari's or older Lamborghini's to maintain.

I guess its important to keep in mind its almost a 10 year old car thats near the bottom of the barrel for its market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I likely lack a discerning eye, but even though that car is nearly 10 years old, I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between that model and the models from the 10 years that surround it. Meaning, it still looks relatively new to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I bet if you actually know how to drive a car, the clutch will last longer than 10k miles. I spent a good amount of time on the forums trying to determine if that was the case or not when that car was on the list of next cars. There are aftermarket options which last a bit longer, but overall the clutch lifetime seems relatively short on those cars. Longest I've heard of, babying the car was 25-30k. As someone who puts lots of hard miles on their "fun car" I might actually be looking at a clutch replacement every other year easily, which is just not for me.

Egear it makes sense, I just can't imagine why on a traditional manual. Crappy pressure plate? Audi must have let the Italians design the clutch...that's what happens.
