Default buying a4

http://hunt4cars.com/cars4sale/1999_...99_Audi_A4.htm

what u guys think? its actually priced at $6950 not $8950.. setting up finance tomorrow..

drove it already, sounds fine, but when i pulled up to the dealer and turned it off it died.. they couldnt get it started when they tried right after to park it. they had a mechanic over to get it running again.. no clue y it did that.. and its gonna need a new timing belt.

lol if u live near there please dont try and buy it..

Looks very very clean, some one really took care of her.

Usually when you turn it off the car dies lol did you mean it died as you were pulling up to the dealer?

Take a look under the hood, you'll probably want to get the water pump changed too, and with it being 70k miles, the serpentine/v belts too. Trust me, being stuck somewhere with a broken belt is a major pain in the ***. Also do you plan on modding the car at all, or just drivin it stock. The v6s have less options than a 1.8t, just throwin it out there for ya.

I meant by dying that wen I turned it off I got out and then someone else got in right away to park it and it wouldn't start..

And other then a chip(maybe in a while) I don't plan to mod.. Plus it's more reliabe which is greater to me then speed.. I have a motorcycle so I don't really care if its fast or not.. More just looks.. And it's sexy already

Oh ok, well sometimes that's a battery problem or a bad relay

I would also make sure it runs before giving them any money!! The V6 is awesome. I have 184K with no engine work. Knock on desk!!

ok.. i was going to pick up the audi and i noticed they got a new audi in.. its a 2003 a4 1.8T blue with 80,000 miles, 10,000 more then the 2.8, but for the same price.. the 1999.5 2.8 which is red(i like the red better) has a scratch on the front left bumper and the interior by the door is messed up. the 1.8 is a 1.8 but has leather and cleaner interior and exterior.. wat do i do!?!?!?!!?! are the 1.8T just as reliable as the 2.8.. im not modding so i dont care about that..

Even though it's clean, kinda expensive, more than the average price.
