I got it when it had 73k miles for $17k. Since we had no place to park the car, we had to let it go when we got our 2014 A5 Cabriolet in 2021. I had upgraded the car with backup camera, Apple CarPlay. The only things we need to replace was the 2 suspension front Air Bag due to leaking, a battery, charge AC. The trunk lift has never worked well by design. This car had been a reliable car for us all these years, never got stranded anywhere. We&#8217;d loved the car and we would love to have one again in the future.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<link href=\"\/idogjs\/icss\/font-awesome\/css\/ifotorama.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\"><script
