New owner in the Asheville NC area

Only second “car” I’ve owned. Everything else has been 4WD and off-road oriented except the 09 MS3 I had back in 2020. Picked up My BRG 05 MCS from down in Smithfield NC a few weeks back with about 91k miles on the clock. Was told it needed nothing, after pulling off the trailer it needed a thermostat, lower ball joint, and has the (apparently infamous) intermittent P1498 code.BUT, it is BRG with full switches, very clean and doesn’t have a faded hood. Looking forward to joining this community.​​​​​​​

Welcome from over here in the Piedmont. You'll find a bunch of dedicated enthusiasts here who are extremely helpful and the Forum has amassed a considerable amount of very informative solutions to problems and "how to" descriptions for maintenance and mods.
