Default Thinking about buying 99 1.8t off ebay

I have never owned an Audi. I have been in the market for an A4 and have been researching for almost a year. I am after an 1.8T. I am within driving distance of the vehicle and am seriously considering this car. If anyone out there has any advice, comments, considerations, what you think it is worth $$, let me know.

Anything will help thanks.

Jump on that man! That is almost the same car as mine except that car has cloth and no heated seats. I had a hell of a time finding a 99.5 1.8T Quattro with a manual and the sport pkg......You found all that close to home go for it. The milage is a tad high but it is all stock soooo wtf DO IT!

It almost seems like they are overselling it with all the "wow" and "amazing" etc... I just thope they are not trying to hide anything. I am a big do-it-your-self person (I realize this is a 40 year old virgin reference but,) how difficult is it to put a clutch in one of these? And what is the price range for a clutch and water pump? And what MPG is everyone else getting?

I just assumed by 90K they have done the T-belt waterpump and all that junk, but you better make sure. The only things I have had to do to mine is T-belt, water pump, CV boots in the front.

Funny,

You will have no trouble passing slower traffic in this car. You have all the power you could ever want at your command thanks to the top of the line 1.8T liter Audi V6 engine!

They don't even know how many cylinders the car has!

Anyway, it looks like a flawless car, I would go for it if you are local, good luck!

I doubt they'll sell it to you for 7 though. I bet they don't take less than $9,995.
