Cool photo. Bare aluminum is really shiny and attractive compared to mild steel. What are your maintenance costs on the A2? I need a new used car...

  The windshield wiper motor died and I ordered a new one from a German web shop Audi Zentrum Göttingen for 100 euros (payment with Paypal), and a small town VAG specialist changed it. There are lots of repair shops around here that fix these cars just fine, even when they weren't imported here when they were new. So all cars are second hand imports. The wiper motor part cost would have been more than double locally. It helped to know some German. :) Then the rear brakes also had to be fixed for the yearly checkup, normal wearing parts. And the internal heater had a connection problem, discovered when it started being cold enough that it was used (it's an aftermarket job anyway, to connect the car to an electricity outlet and warm up the engine block with a resistor and the interior with a resistor+fan). I've had the car for six months and from rough memory, spent maybe 400 euros for maintenance.
