    The clicking noise is probably because the solid lifters have worn in a bit and you need a valve adjustment. That’s based on the excellent condition, which probably eliminates an accessory.

Oh and make sure you always have your headlights set to "auto". The lights do not go off automatically when you turn the car off. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to jump this car just because I left the lights on.

    I bought my 2013 Trail Team FJ as a CPO car with 14k miles in 2014 for 31k. The original owner didnt like the views from the dirvers seat. I guess they didnt like using their mirrors. I now have 338K and have only replaced the rear control arms and drive shaft u bolts (located inside the rear diff). I love it and so does everyone that sees it. Now if I could just find an OEM drivers seat as Ive worn out not only the seat fabric but the back rest fabric as well. Ive never missed an oil change and run only synthetic but messed up by not installing seat covers at the time of my purchase

      How long did you have it before you sold it? Did it have any major issues like transmission, etc... I'm looking into buying one.

      @@droo4777 Only issue was the valve covers leak and its huge job 18 hours..think about $2500 to have those done..see look for that...otherwise ,change trans fluids/transfer case fluid .and normal wear and tear..How many miles is the one you are looking at? Or just looking around in general? I liked it ,I had it for a few months...

      The one I'm looking at is a 2014 glk it has 65k miles on it. Damn! It's pricy for the valve covers. I can just imagine everything else. I'm thinking about it now, lol.

    Just bought a 2014 A4 Black Optic, Premium Plus, Sport Package for my son. It has 98k miles, and right away I need to replace the timing chain, tensioner assembly, etc. - it's at -9.47. The brakes will need to be done in a few months as well. Other than that, the car is super clean and in good shape. If you buy one of these, be prepared to spend at least an extra $3 to $5k getting it up to speed on maintenance..

    Just a quick question for you. I live in Massachusetts so right next door to you. I’ve had my A5 since 2009 and am just hesitating to buy a new car since it’s paid off. I have 93,000 miles. So my question is do you play the music from your phone through Bluetooth? That is the one issue I’ve had with this car. I actually have an old iPhone 4 hooked up in the glovebox with the AMI. Was wondering how you listen to your music with your phone. Thanks!
