if you bring a good friend that knows about cars then he/she will do all this for you.
and always ask for a minute to talk it over.
good advice here

My thoughts get something nice that's a hell of a lot cheaper to fix.
As much as I've always wanted an audi it's just not worth the cost to fix. Get a nice subaru, honda, or I personally love nissan my altima I still miss to this day. Drove it for over a year and still sold it for a 400$ profit.

Audi's are known for having shitty reliability issues. The name stands for Accelerate Under Demonic Instances because they used to just randomly accelerate for the hell of it. It will cost you and you will hate it. The costs are stupid.
Buy a Jeep, get laid, have fun. Or a Subaru which is what I did after I bought my jeep, although I am buying another one.

What's going on Rackem? I am actually considering a Cherokee. I would love to build an exo cage for one. Right now, I have the Subie up to about 400 hp, and built all aluminum skid plates for underneath, but managed to rip them off twice. I'm just not an import kinda guy I guess.

these 2 are nice
when you put all 3 cars together the Audi is going to cost more to fix and is highly likely to break down first??
i won't be driving the car like a sports car, its mainly going to be used to drive to school/work.
A4 would have more leg room than the Suburu / BMW and I still prefer it.
Car looks good / 100

If I was in Australia, I'd go for a Holden. Hell even America imported them and tried to sell them as Pontiac GTO's. They were bad ass in America, I can only imagine in Australia.

Weird what are the laws that you can buy an audi but not a skyline? That makes no sense.
