I’m sure you know how Chrysler quality has suffered but what gets me is that gas milage. My Mustang would get better numbers if I drove with my foot to the floor.

Haven’t had significant quality issues out of the ordinary with any of ours.
Betcha it would still be more efficient than my ‘97 v8 Dakota.

Q - beware transmission history on that generation T6. Or maybe my parents just have horrific luck.
Isn't that just a 6-speed Aisin tranny? I seem to remember Aisin being the only automatic transmission anyone really WANTS.
My 2011 Regal Turbo had a 6-speed Aisin and I hated it. It was very slow to pick a cog when you had been slowing down and then went to accelerate again. Wasn't just my example either, as the Edmunds Inside Line (RIP) long-term review commented on the same behavior there.

I bet it wasn’t the tranny. It’s the way Buick programmed it.

Interesting. For auto tranny shifting, I always thought my Volvo did better than the Honda before or Acura after. At least with the RDX it's easy to just kick it down a gear with the paddles, which it needs more often with the taller gear and non-turbo V6.
Toyota got absolutely hammered for the way it’s transmissions were programmed for FE in the mid. 2000s... hesitations , jerking etc.
It was discussed here on Edmunds at length. Once you got used to it all was fine, but coming from a traditional 4 speed to the new FE driven programming it felt off. Some people couldn’t get used to it. Eventually Toyota offered a re-flash but warned FE would suffer.
I never had my 06 Avalon done as it never bothered me.
I think that is Azores Green, the same color as my parents’ Q5. If so, the lighting on that one is weird and it’s actually darker in person. Still a gorgeous color. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on an A4, but I’ve seen it on several Q5s and (I think) an A6.
It looks great in that green color. I googled 2017 audi A4 pictures....and must have looked at over 100 A4s - none of them green. Then I found this one: But, it is an All-Road........good chance he got it painted. That dealer has a classy ad, they seem to be very honest, even included the $499 dealer handling charge into the price.
When we bought our 2013 Mrs D100 wanted a really different color....got tired of white, asked if she could have hers in yellow which was offered on one of the top model RS A4s. They would do it....for $4000. We went with white!
And finally, I still have a soft spot for these, having had one (and a Hornet too). But man, with this many needs (rust repair and a repaint), that price is crazy. This is something I’d buy for a few $k and use on the cheap just tinkering.
I’m loving that 740. We had a base model 1990, in charcoal. I think that one is a GL. If memory serves, the GL trim level got a hand crank metal sunroof. I think the GLE and turbo models had powered ones, and may have been glass.

It's described as "Gotland Green". No idea if it's a custom color, but I agree that it doesn't go well with the black interior.

I like the paperwork presentation in the trunk of that Z4. Still gives me a "signals seldom used" vibe though
I'd like it better if the paperwork was more service records, less brochures. The price is a bit on the high side as I've seen the same miles for less, but if the condition and history checked out, I could maybe see it.
Certainly don't need a BU cam or sensors with visibility like that Legend.
Nice car
I suspect that Legend will have a bidding war - when I first pulled up the link 30 minutes ago, it was at $5000. Just refreshed, and the bid is now $5800.

The 5-speed Aisin in my V70 2.5T was doing just fine at 192K.

This is also way cool. Just needs a manual tranny, but probably works well with the slush box. Oh, should be a wagon too!
