Car accident on Monday
Made claim on Tuesday
Today Friday, I signed the settlement form for $25,000 less $1000 excess
They will draw the cheque and I should get it by next week.
I have nothing but praise for Famous Classic.
btw, I bought the car for 25g 2 years ago... 0c depreciation over 2 years how good is that
I will try to get a test drive of the Bora 4Motion and Liberty before this weekend... do i go for european refinement with decent power... or japanese pseudo-luxury with the better power and driving pleasure? im leaning towards the before, with its weird interior... can anyone give any experiences with either?

I currently own a Bora as well, its basically same interior as the older B5 series of A4, you get the heated front seat, full leather, digital climate control & sunroof as standard for the 4motion, it's a good drive in the wet as anyone would expected, but I find the steering isn't as sharp as the Liberty before (Gen4), & also the power isn't as good.
With services, you always have to pay more for euro cars, & the Liberty isn't that cheap to maintain either, cause of the turbo setup. So I would say they are pretty much even on the service area.
They both maintain excellent resale’s value & they both got lots of off the shelf aftermarket products for cosmetic & performance.
Assuming we are talking about Gen4 04 Liberty, I would lead toward it, knowing its got better power, better handling & had the same level of luxury feature, plus the McIntosh stereo kicks the Eurovox(even though its very good) any day.

I'm not rich, i just work my ass off with my old job, 7 days a week with average of 12hrs a day.
4motion, & its stock except for the O.Z. Racing Superleggeras
Hmmmm if Gen3 03 before then i pick the Bora instead. As the Gen3 isn't as sharp as the Gen4 & the power isn't as good either, so I would pick the german refinement instead.

Get an Evo G1!
I've seen good examples of 6s going for less than $40gs.
