Default Probably selling her

The car is not offering the "driving experience" you think you would get when spending $54k to the car. I've been complaining about clutch vibration and a
Audi has replaced most of the clutch related parts. Now Audi TFM says that it works normally per factory design and there's nothing to be repaired. Maybe it is just me, but I'm still not happy with it.

The car is 6 months old and has 4200 miles. Other information is in my sig below. PM me if you are interested.

With a sales pitch like that, how could one resist?

Don't know, maybe just a beater.

I have to agree. Not a good idea to sell a car on this forum after you just pointed out some problems with it.

Well, anybody is welcome to test drive the car to make a conclusion is it normal or not.

Exercise some common sense and take it to another dealer or have an indy shop fix it if it's really a problem, rather than taking a bath on selling a <1 year old car.

^Interesting.

I'm sorry you seem to be having so many problems with the car. I'd probably be upset too. But if you have Audi look at it I'm sure they'd have something to say...what were some of the other problems that make you want to sell it?

I have 3,200 miles and no problems. I know others have had no problems. So it sounds like your case is rare but diagnosable.
