    So the first porsche I looked at was not as described. Found a 2007 turbo at porsche of orlando that I'm checking out tomorrow. On my way to look at a C63. Any thoughts on an older (2007-2008) sl55 amg? Any by the way, the reason I'm getting one of these cars is because I have been sick and in the hospital on and off for over a year. After tons of treatment I'm in the clear so this is kind of her way of celebrating. I've never been a spoiled rich kid and I hate sounding like one.

    Keep tacoma, take grandma money and payoff mortgage or as much as you can this way your house will have less mortgage on it.

    Please tell me that's a manual!!

    How many miles? Get informed about the timing chain tensioner issue before you buy an Audi with the 4.2.

    Audi S4 would be my choice.

    Supercharged V6 that gets decent mileage and has enough power to be fun.

    Or an older V8 S4 that gets 14 mpg but sounds AMAZING.

    Yep, Just bought a TT. Audi has it dialed in. Speed, comfort, looks, mileage, and you don't see a lot of them on the road so it has that something different. I still have my Tacoma but my son is driving it most of the time now.

    I have been thinking about the Tesla model S performance, but i will still keep the Tacoma, 4runner, excursion and the willys overland wagon. Did i mention my neighbors love my parking habits.

    If we're talking Audi's here, RS5 --> FTW.

    I'm surprised nobody else has brought this up. If you're getting this handed to you at 23, now would be a good time to take that money to put down on a house rather than a car

    Audi's are very well built cars. They will run forever when taken care of, but certain models must be approached with caution.

    My Audi has 121,000 on it and it runs as good as new and I've had very few issues with it. The issues I have had were minor, and caused by me. Haha

    Picking up the audi tomorrow. It's a 2009 s5, manual, garage kept with only 14k miles. The credit union we are going through offers a 150k bumper to bumper transferable warranty that my grandma is opting for on top of the factory warranty. As far as the comments about mortgages, I currently do not have one and have saved my money for the past 4 years for a home. When I settle down and I'm 100% sure on where I want to live, I'll build a house. And my tacoma is a prerunner, I was going to upgrade to a 4x4 in the future anyways. I'll have my grandma hook me up with this, then buy a 4x4 by next spring.

    Congrats!! The S5 is one hell of a machine. The miles are low enough for you to not have to worry about the chain tensioner for a very long time.
