Of course! As with all cars, there will always be repairs. It all depends on how you drive and maintain your vehicle. The Volvo I had was at 212,XXX miles when it was totaled out, but at 195,XXX miles the transmission went out, and head gasket blew. My dad then invested over 3K rebuilding the motor and replacing the transmission.

I have been researching about these vehicles long before I purchased it (was planning on getting one in Jan 2011), and I'm aware of the infamous "Christmas tree" dash board, failing electronics, and of course the nature of the parts needing replacement from due wear and tear.

Luckily, this car had an engine rebuild 25K miles ago and is free from defects (for now). It runs smooth and strong, climbed up steep grades and plowed through snow like a champ. When it finally dies, or causes undue stress on me financially, I'll simply go back and drive the Yaris

If you did your research and are confident in the car then I salute you and hope for the best. One piece of FYI for you the A4 from 1998 to around 2000 have the pesky problem of choking on pickup (ie if you're on the freeway and want to accelerate),they stutter and choke problem... a stupid sticking valve that can't be picked up by any sensor, my friend's 98 Audi did that the whole time he had it and he spent around 3k trying to fix the problem, when he finally sold it to a guy that owned a german car repair shop he found out his repairs would have only cost him about 700$ including labour to fix. Anywho sorry if I seemed like I was knocking your buy, I really wasn't. But I'll still think anything German that has 4 wheels should only be kept until the warranty experies after that NEXT!
