The 2000-2018ish years were rough for audi. Reliability and styling went downhill for most of their lineup, and they’re aging horribly. My mom’s S Line A4 next to my M-sport 228 looks awful. We bought the same year, for pretty much the same price, with similar miles, and even similar greys. I’ve got a manual and my car looks 10x better. I’d say that’s most likely true across both the lineups and their competitor’s
No, the tasteless mods are always indicative of someone who can’t take care of cars. The thing’s a ghetto blaster, you’re probably 100 miles from an engine rebuild. Ask how often the previous owner changed the oil lol.
