Um, just my personal opinion, that's really expensive for an '02 audi. And for the books, that is luxury my friend, whether it's bone stock or not. My first car was my parents '95 lincoln continental which was over 200K but still burned rubber so I got that as a hand me down--was quite happy with it until the air suspension went out and it just wasn't worth replacing. My second car was an '84 Camaro Z-28 (yes prodigy, Z-28>Iroc-Z ) which I still have. And guess how much I paid for it by looking around and doing research....2500 bucks. Yup. Perfect condition. Hardly any rust. Interior is great and it's a stick. I had money left over to do a complete overhaul of the 305 that's sittin under the hood and even money left over to redo the seats, harnesses, and put a sound system in. My third car was the most expensive to date, and it's because I'm going off to college and needed something decent with good mpg. It's an '03 Saab 9-5 2.3T <<--Turbo, FYI. It kicks ends seriously, and has about 100K on it...I got it for $7,000. The only work I've had to do so far was to change the rear oil seal--myself. Drives great, runs great, and I get 35MPG--can almost keep up with Camaro as well. So all of my cars have cost less than that one Audi. It's just not worth it in my opinion. I know you probably don't agree, and I don't mean to insult you, but honestly you must be a rich kid judging by the price and what your parents buy. I would be in heaven with that much money--or in debt.
But anywho...a reason to buy a car in general would be that it teaches responsibility, and you should have to work to pay it off like lots of other kids have to. I don't mean to make you sound like a child, but it'll help you learn the value of things in life. I know that by purchasing my own stuff, I feel good about doing it and feel good that I'm not super spoiled.
Also, if you buy that Audi, you can quickly learn how crappy paying for gas is and then be convinced to save the world from using oil--> tell your parents that one
