Re: Hey Guys! Newbie here with some thoughts/questions!
Welcome action 03!I have an 04 limited with 54k miles. I have had a few problems with mine, but nothing that couldn't be fixed yet. If you can afford the extended warrantee before your factor one expires do it, its worth it. German parts can get expensive sometimes.
New tires and oil changes can get pricy. I think each car is different, some have no problems others have more. Its a roll of the dice. What ever you do don't ask if anyone has had problems with their cup holder!
Do it you will love this car!
