The 98.5 A4 2.8QM you see in 'The Insider' belongs to me. I gotta say, it was pretty amazing to see MY ACTUAL CAR on the big screen, not just one like it. Now when people ride with me, I tell them 'Al Pacino's been in here' or 'The little girl from the Pepsi commercials sat there'. Pretty neat.

Just saw it last weekend. As you say, pretty neat.

Details! How did this come about??

I didn't know the car was in the movie until I was negotiating the price. I had been in the market for an A4 for some time, and happened across this particular car, which was priced right. There were a few very small scratches above the drivers's door, and they put about 200 miles on it, but it was otherwise perfect. The dealer fixed the scratches at my convenience, and gave me a loaner while the work was being done (Audi paid for the repairs, not the dealer, and they were listed as 'Promotional Use Repairs'). I don't know if Wigand actually drove an Audi or not, the dealer just indicated that they were approached about using a car in the picture. I thought it was interesting that a five-speed car was used - I don't know if Russell Crowe requested it that way or not.
