all road advice
I have been looking for an all road and have it narrowed down to four different cars. One is in Utah, strong audi, the other is in ft collins ed murray and the third is at prestige, fourth was on ebay, also from a dealer in chicagoland. All are certified, all are 04's. my question is if anyone has any experience with any of these dealers. Is one better than the other.
Also, how much extra do the higer end rims usually garner (i think they are called two piece rims) and the on star/home link package.
Is it easy to take out the xm radio and put in sirius.
Is it worth paying the extra money for the audi certification? Or is it is just as good going with a 3rd party extended warrenty company?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I bought my CPO allroad from Prestige in 03...smooth transaction and fair price at the time
did not use them for service though.
The 2 piece rims collect snow and grime....so when you are in the deep stuff, it really throws the balance of the wheel off and you "wobble". For around here, best to stay with single spoke or get an upgraded 18" aftermarket rim for less than half of the cost of double spokes. IMHO.
I never used the CPO, but if you plan on keeping the car and not chipping it, it is worth the CPO as you are covered until 100K...which covers a lot of things, including your OEM turbos if you don't chip the car.

The turbos do fail - not as bad as the S4s. I know one person at SCR who got KO4s done
with aftermarket warranty. Mark at SCR did a lot of work with the company to get it done though.

Prestige is good. CPO is a good idea especially for air suspension and auto transmisison.
The two piece wheels are garbage and not worth any more. They have many problems with balancing them and as the other guys said, snow and mud buildup. Onstar is no longer supported by audi so if something goes wrong, it will not be covered under CPO. Home link is a fairly cheap option and shouldn't really get any more money for the car.

I assume you mean Ed Carrol audi in Fort Collins...they are excellent...
w/in our family, we've bought 6 audis and have had a great experience every time. Good $$ and great sales guys
