Lol, that dude is not about to lose to Ukraine. You know how embarrassing that would be? He has to get Nato involved and then loose.

1950s called back and wanted superpower back. Russia is a joke.

ww3 has started already. It’s an information and economic war… if you can’t see that then you haven’t been paying attention. None of this is organic. Alliances are forming, just not sure the world can survive without americas banking tentacles wrapped around it.

We have benefited on the backs of other nations too long buying our paper in exchange for real tangible goods and they want out of that system now it seems.

Not quite sure what you mean. The build quality of a $50k Audi vastly differs from a $70k Audi. Ask me how I know.

How do you know?

If I’m paying 50K for an Audi I’d expect pretty good quality…

can audi do this?

I leased a $50k 2018 A4 P+, and then moved up to a $70k 2021 A6 P+. I’ve also had a '22 Q5 as a loaner recently.

The interior of the A4 was very similar to the Q5. I love my A6. Materials and interior quality is top notch.

Agreed. But is the A6’s interior worth $20k more? Probably not.

tell me you don’t understand luxury items with out telling me.

So how long till all the FL damaged cars are in used dealer lots? I’m very cautious on FL used cars now. lol. Do they have to tell you there is hurricane damage?

If the last registration on the carfax is in Florida I would pass.

For starters, the leather seats in the A4 are no where near the quality of the ones in the A6.

Anyway, not sure if you’ve ever owned or driven an Audi. Given my personal experience, I am not sure if I could ever own an A3, A4, Q3 or Q5.

Just ignore the troll. He’s like the “Dmitri” of Mercedes.

Anyone follow used auto market sources on Twitter? Used to follow Cardealershipguy when he provided valuable insight. Unfortunately he caught the influencer bug…launched a private community, thinks he’s a comedian, and just reposts stale/useless info.

Feel free to share other accounts worth following (if any).

You’ve got to do your research and be very careful. Hurricane damaged cars won’t show up next week, but in 6 months to a year. I’d watch out. If you are a scumbag and know what you are doing, title washing is too easy. Look, a year ago in CT, in certain towns we had flooding and lots of damaged cars from “remnants of Hurricane Ida.” Not a category 4ish hurricane or even a tropical storm. There was Sandy in NY/Long Island/CT/NJ in 2012. Hurricane Harvey in Houston…

You would think cars would have some sort of device that would tell if it was ever submerged. All the Bs electronics in them these days doesn’t seem like that would be hard to do…
