Default avant finally has to go...

So I pulled the sub, amps and wiring this evening, as well as the carputer. Looks like its really gonna happen..
bye bye to my baby. I have been eyeing a few 2004 S4s with around 35-40k miles. Prices are not all that bad.

Will miss the ol girl, but I think an S4 will keep me going.

That said... I intend to unload a few mod items in the coming days - stay tuned...

Noooooooo!

Well...

Ok.

That's a lot of stuff to sell. What's the asking price on the sled?

I am not going to sell it private party - I would not feel right...
That is unless someone was wanting to buy it knowing full well that the tranny is likely on its way out. Other than that this car is a beauty and I hate to see it go.

I briefly considered finding a rebuilt transmission, but I was going to get something new next summer anyway.
So I will unload it to Carmax most likely for cash and sell off the mods - chip, carputer, wheels, boost gauge and pod, mirror covers, etc...

*cough*2.8 tranny*cough*

I hate seeing such a nice ride get parted. Good luck in the parting and finding an S4.

Default RE: avant finally has to go...

All in good time - will get to the prices tomorrow. Been in the garage all evening workin... Wife is calling... LOL
Just off the top of my head though:

Chipped ECU (giac)
Carputer screen bezel
Xenarc 7" touchscreen
Possibly the car computer
Chrome mirror covers (or maybe sell the santorin ones - depends if anyone wants either)
Clarion line driver
Hifonics ZX4000 amp
Hifonics ZX6400 amp
Custom fiberglass sub enclosure for avant (fits into the drivers side rear cubby)
Boost gauge and custom pod for center vent
Spare TCU (was gonna tip chip it but never got around to it)
ADR 18" M-Sport wheels with Falken Azeni ST115 tires (50% tread left) (one wheel has a very small bend - I have never bothered to fix it cuz I never noticed it after road balancing the wheels)
K&N filter
Optima Yellowtop battery just purchased (I'd trade someone locally if they wanted it - hate to see it go to waste).
Neuspeed Sport Springs
Bilstein sport shocks

I am on the fence about leaving the suspension on the car unless someone wants it. It's made the transition from my 98.5 A4 to the 2000 A4 and probably has 35K miles on it now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I remember when I first joined, I always thought you were the coolest moderator w/ the coolest avant. Youve given me lots of A4 help. Now its over.. So sad []
I love to talk about people as if they are dying when they move on from their A4. Because its pretty much the same difference. As soon as you sign the purchase contract on an S4, you are dead to me. Later.

jkjkjk

I want your wheels, but dont count on me actually buying them (its not you, its me.)

Sad to see it go, as long as you stop in on the a4 side of the forum every once in a while, i think things will be ok. Hope you find the S4 you really want!
