Im really not a fan of that front end or body style in general, im sure the car is a beast, but it is sorta big...I like the B5...

Talked with them some more today...Not sure if they are going to bight on the $$$ im offering up...they were totally fine with me taking to the audi dealer, and getting the history with the vin...i dunno what the plan is.

Yeah. An S4 is a "good clean product"? An S4 is a poor man's exotic.

Why don't you go for a 10-15 year old S and use all the money you saved for repairs? More sensible, IMO.

Right..

good luck finding a DECENT mileage/ condition 1st gen.

He's 18 or 19...My age.

Where the hell have you been lately?

If you buy an Audi make sure that you have p;enty of money for repairs. I just put 2K into mine...

My buddy who owns a performance shop had the previous generation RS6 with his mods he had 595 HP at the wheels.

Wanna talk about FAST!!! WOW!!!

S4's are reasonably bommer.... run Mobil 1, change it ever 3k, and be nice. Don't dump the clutch in AWD cars- it just cooks them.

I drive a modded A4 1.8t, and it's putting out about 220hp with a stock turbo, and I've had essentially no problems.

There's a 350 hp/400lbft B5 (2.7t) S4 sitting in the garage right now, and outside of normal breaking of things, no biggie. I'm hoping to do the intercoolers, turbos, manifolds, and fuel injectors on it at some point. I'd be aming for 425hp in a car that weights about 3500lbs.

holla!

Just get a Benz E55

To answer your first question, yes. Just go ahead and buy it, you're only young once, and you may not get the chance again. These cars may be problematic, but once your sort through the minor issues and keep you eyes open for the major ones, you'll be ok. Cars today are light years ahead of cars from 10-20 years ago. You know what you're getting into and you know if you can afford it or not.

Just buy it, have fun with it, and be careful of things that may go wrong.

 

[SkaredShtles]

those are some sweet wheel wells.

Indeed. Papier-mâché?

 

[narlus]

so did you make a decision?

Right..

you either didn't look that hard or don't know what you are talking about. you might have to drive a little ways to get it but these cars can be found for sale, and are generally in very good condition and well cared for. it's not like buying a gti or integra type-r.
