Default perhaps you should find another way of buying them?

IIRC, they were both CarMax cars?

You have Donohoo Auto in the south. Alabama actually. They are Audi specialists. The comb the Audi credit auctions for cream lease return cars. I've spoken with them in the past and would not hesitate to buy from them.<ul><li><a href="http://www.donohooauto.com/inventory.aspx?_pricefrom=&amp;_priceto=&amp;_mile sfrom=&amp;_milesto=&amp;_make=Audi&amp;_model=all road&amp;_yearfrom=2004&amp;_yearto=2005&amp;_body style=">click</a></li></ul>

Default The shop manager said that '02 was the only allroad he would consider. What is it about the APB

engine that is different than the BEL of later years?

Default Keep looking! It took me almost 4 months to get the year/color/miles/tranny combo I wanted.

I ended up flying from PHL to BDL to pick it up for the drive back home.
