Default Purchased an 01 - what do ya think?

I recently purchased an 01 coupe,A4 w/ 17250 miles and the GM warranty is good until August. I since renwed the warranty for 3 more years and 24000 miles. I paid $ 28,500 for the car and it looks brand new. Do ya think I got a good buy?

Sweet. Don't worry about "did I get a good deal?"... go out and have a blast. Corvettes are an E Ticket ride (there I go showing my age) :o

ENJOY THE RIDE

"E" Ticket?? I barely remember those from Disneyland. A jaguar XJS in the 80's had that as a license plate - damn cool.

Back on topic. Reasonable price. Getting a beater and fixing it is more expensive than getting a nice car in the first place. Great miles. Welcome to the club - it's an incredible car and this forum will save you thousands if you can pick up a wrench.
