Default Buying 2006 Audi A4

Hey,
I'm looking to buy a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T (mayb quattro). Just wanted to ask all the 2006 A4 owners out there what they think of the car? How's the quality? What repairs have you done to it so far? What's broken on you? I'm looking to spend around $20-$23k before tax. I've seen some in auto trader for around this price with anywhere between 50k-80k km's on it. When taking it for a test drive or looking over the body, are there common problems or other problems you guys feel I should be looking for? This will be my first Audi. I'm coming from a Japanese auto background.

Thanks.

I've had a 2006 A4 Quattro 6MT for 2.5 years now but I only have 34,000 kms on it. I haven't had any major problems at all. Little tiny recalls on diverter valves and stuff like that but the car has been flawless.

well..good news everyone..I just got the 2006 audi 2.0 quattro. its a fabulous red. it does have 70kms on it, but through negotiations, I got free maintenance for the 4 years as well as floor mats, and a handy dandy keychain. And through talking to other audi owners I hear that at 70KM the car is basically warming up. That's good to know since I come from a GM background and high mileage is always a concern. It came with the premium package and Xenon headlights package. When I took it for a test drive. My heart melted. Negotiated the hell out of it, and am very happy.
