I would say I am an abuser of my car and drive with no regard to the person who may own it after me. That is why I only buy certified cars and trade them in right before the certified warranty is up.

I will be the first to admit that a German car from my stable after trade will be a scarey purchase at best. My B6 got traded and it was just losing water like a bitch and the glove box handle was just sitting in place ready to fall off.

Yes I abuse my cars. Why? Because that certified warranty is oh so sweet and I have no intention of keeping it past that date. Yes I know that sucks but not for me.

This is why I tell everybody in every "looking to buy an A4" post to stay certified cause there are tons of people out there like me.
