thanks

it was about 22k @ the dealer. im sure i could of gotten it for cheaper through private or whatever, but this 1 was mint, and 1 owner that wasnt leased and adult driven, low miles. i was willing to pay a little more for that clean carfax with all service records from 2007 to date.

How did you like the S5? Pro's/Con's? How does it compare to our G35's? Reason I ask is because I was considering that purchase, but the price was sort of a deterrent.

i LOVE the s5. drop dead sexy, one of the best looking cars out IMO ( aside from higher end cars like aston martins, etc ) Interior is amazing as well, love the bucket seats w/ red silk leather. ride is very comfortable and quiet. cons with the s5 is that for a v8 it should be a lot more powerful, so its very underpowered. also its a gas guzzler, very horrible in the city, but amazing on the highway.

compared to the g...one thing i notice is that if u floor both cars at the same time, the g35 coupe has more low end torque at first, so u actually feel that acceleration is faster for a bit. the s5 is too heavy. steering for the s5 is very loose compared to the g.

Welcome back to the G side.

Audi's styling of their cars in unmatched BUT when it comes to out the factory performance...They are LACKING a lot (asides from the R8 of course). Their V8's are very underpowered for the amount of cylinders they offer.
