You done did got fucked, but not as badly as my friend who recently bought an S4.
His thought process:
1. I can afford a low mileage, warrantied 2010 A4.
2. Oh shit, what's this? A high mileage out-of-warranty 2010 S4 for the same price?
3. I need that.
Drives it for a week. It stops shifting. Dealership says he needs a new mechanochronomometer or something like that. $2k repair.
It doesn't fix it. Dealership is currently putting in a new trans for $12k.
