Think I am going to pull the trigger

…I have nothing positive to add except that I am jealous of your go-ahead.

Also, I did a “value assestment” of my Avant via USAA:

Check out Market “premium” vs Market “low” vs 3rd Party Private

log groups 003 and 020 for starters

that way we can tell if it’s tuned, and get a feel for how bad/not bad the health of the car is performance wise.

go in third
sport mode on, ESP off (hold the button for 5 seconds…the release. ESP OFF will show and it will NOT flash. If it’s flashing it’s half off)
flat road
2000 RPM hit the throttle full rocket, and hold it till you hit the rev limiter at about 101 MPH

Do it again the other direction on the same road (if you can)

Post a google docs link to the excel spreadsheet and we’ll have a good look.

You can log loads of stuff but this will give us time, RPMs, MAF, Throttle, timing, and timing retardation on all 4 cylinders in bank 1

Is this 3rd gear pull?

Wow! BBB has them as the only A rated EW company. Is there any extended warranty you would recommend?

CarMax is the best but you have to buy the car from them. There are a few really small others that are trying to build a reputation which are good too but they are few and far between.
