I bought an old Audi actually, but I\u2019m quite pleased with it. I had only one criterion when I searched for a car \u2014 it must be in black. And my <a rel=\"noopener slb_group[672] slb\" href=\"http:\/\/static.cargurus.com\/images\/site\/2009\/07\/31\/01\/31\/2003-audi-a4-4-dr-1.8t-turbo-sedan-pic-10665.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\">Audi A4 1.8T 2004<\/a> is in black. Hopefully it will perform well.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of my research I set my budget between $15,000-25,000, and I tended to choose a Japanese car like Honda Jazz. But soon I realized the low budget wouldn\u2019t lead to a good car, so I raised my budget again and again (in the typical K.Chan style). And as I raised my budget, I thought it\u2019d be a bit pricey to get a Japanese car at above $30,000, so I resorted to European cars. BMW? Audi? Mercedes? The range of choice was vast but I soon focused on Audi A4. And here we are, getting an Audi.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I paid the deposit I found the whole thing was a bit prompt \u2014 I passed my driving test on 31\/3, got my probationary license on 9\/4, and bought this car on 13\/4. But on second thought it wasn\u2019t prompt at all. I\u2019ve waited to get my driver\u2019s license for 25 years. No, it wasn&#8217;t prompt at all.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ll get my car in late April. If you see a black Audi on the street with a P-license, don&#8217;t get too close, or I may accidentally run you over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, for the nth time recently, I bought another second-hand stuff.
