At least that why my buddies are selling theirs..
Give it some credit! I average 11! Besides, I don't drive it enough for the mileage to hurt (I only have 71k on it).

I'm selling to fund some equipment purchases for my business.

I almost hope I don't sell it. I was going to build a 1000 horse stroker and run it on CNG (under $1.00/gallon). Gotta show all these diesels who's boss.

What on Earth is that little blue jelly bean? Is it a relative of the smart car or something (I'm impressed; it has 4 doors)?

1991 Honda Accord EX 5spd
-130mph top speed (indicated)
-Owned it for 6 years
-178k miles
-Completely stock except for the stereo
-35mpg and it runs like a champ

I can't replace it because it just won't die.

Jumping on this thread way late - but 2004 Audi S4.

No pic to post but its silver and stock (for now). Looking to do the APR chip and full exhaust upgrades and possibly Brembo's on it once the factory warranty expires.

I love those - sounds like you've got some good upgrades in mind too. I've thought very heavily about getting the S4 avant as my next car. Although I've mostly considered the 2.7t version. The only thing that's kept me from the Audi is the maintenance scare. How's it been for you so far?

Yeah - I am a little scared by the busted timing chain thing at the back of the engine which cost like $5000 and they have to take the whole engine out. Very unclear if this is something that would be covered by Audi or not.

I have a good Audi dealer up here in MA that has so far been pretty reliable with repairs under warranty.
