Really? Everything I read about Audis when I was researching cars told me that:
A) they weren't very reliable. Not a huge deal with a good warranty, but an unreliable car is inconvenient as hell.
B) they have a high cost of repairs.
I think Audio and VW are good examples of marketing driven car brands.
If you want a reliably luxury car, a Lexus seems to be at the top.
Of course, the idea of buying a $50k car seems just plain ridiculous in this (or any) economy.
- kingnothing 18y agoI've had my 2003 A6 for 2 years now and haven't had anything go wrong that doesn't typically go wrong on a car that old (water pump, a couple of ignition coils, etc). My dealer charges somewhere around $90 or $100 per hour for labor, which is in line with any luxury car brand.

If you drop $50k on a car, you don't get to complain how hard your startup is to fund. On the other hand, everything I hear says that now is a good time to buy silly cars, given the market.
