Lets start with the fact that this guy runs his business by appointment only. Fine, whatever. Asked if he's available "around 4" on a Friday afternoon and get a yes. Show up just after 3:30 and it was a problem. Not that there was anyone in his used car dealership, he was just jammed with taking pictures while the sun was still up. I'd rather look at a car when the sun is up, but I guess that's just me. I was going to walk out when he said he was going to be completely jammed up for the next half hour but then he gave me the key to the car I came to look at. Went outside, started it up. Ran super rough for several minutes. My wife decided to mention this right away to which I had to hear a rant about Mike selling more Audi's than anyone and that every car made has this problem in the cold and that it's the secondary air pump. Yea yea. Well, Audi's are known for those pumps going and also having issues with various vacuum lines, etc., but never mind that. The super rough idle went down after a few minutes, but the car still shimmied quite a bit. Went to put the top down and he told me not to do that. A nice spiel about hydraulics and temperature and that I should check the manual, it will be in there. Well, I assume Audi would know whether or not the viscosity of whatever hydraulic fluid they use is appropriate with a certain percentage deviation away from the 32F below which they recommend not putting the top down... so since it was above 32F I'd be following the owner's manual recommendation. Not worth it for me, this is a 3rd car that's probably going to be driven less than 2000 miles a year. Guy treats you like you know nothing and he's the Audi king while we came in our loaded 2017 Q7.
