S4 has the potential to cost lots to repair. It's good that all of the major maintenance items were done, but if something comes up chances are good that the engine would need to be pulled. Is that a risk you can afford? (time-wise and financially) That's the main reason why I'd never get a S4.

I'd keep what you have. More reliable and it has potential.

The S4 just sounds like a complete money pit. Especially with the said problems.

On a side note though, now owning a 99.5 volcano black just like you id give it up for a s4 any day. The 1.8t has potential, but the s4 has POTENTIAL! If you can turn a wrench the cost of ownership will drop though.
Only thing that would raise flags for me is why is he willing to part with his s4 for an a4?

^ Although you can turn wrench, if the S4 is the main source of transportation, it would be a hassle to have a car that would be down for a week and runs for several days before its down again.
