Audi Allroad 2004 Tiptronic 2.7

Interested in a 2004 audi allroad
now driving 2002 MB ML 500.
Dealer really could care less about end user problems.

Hardly ever get off paved roads, no snow in Texas, but love the wet traction of all wheel
drive, even on the ML 500. Picked the ML 500 over the A6 in 2002 ( liked the way you could step up into the seat ) Had been driving Ford f250 powerstroke before. Had bought an Audi 5000 in 1979 , had lots of problems back then.

I believe the dealer here in Ft Worth will be able and willing to fix any problems.
Owner is very involved with Dealership.

Is the 2004 allroad a reliable, no rattle, smooth mechanical. Great Car.

Would like some input and experiences.

Thanks
