New to Audi, want to buy A4
#11
I'm committed at this point though...I've already spent too much to sell it without losing my 4ss big time.
I've managed to save a LOT by using a local mechanic I trust and getting the parts myself. Still, this is money I WOULD have used on a new stereo, wheels, or other upgrades. Instead I'm just trying to "keep the wheels on".

I've got a 2001 a4 2.8 30valve v6 quattro triptronic. I bought it from a dealer so theres a COMPLETE carfax. The guy who owned it before me did all his work at a dealer so you can see ever piece that was replaced. Its black outside with black/tan interior. 17 inch BBS RH(i think) wheels and the tires have good amount of tread left. I'm located in DC. I'm looking for something quattro and stick, so I've put some feeler threads out there. Let me know if you're interested.
BTW: the 1.8t is the easiest to mod, but the 2.8 v6 has a supercharger and once you jump way past most of these modded 1.8ts and s4s.
2.8 is more powerful stock too.

you're not going to buy a perfect car with 90k on it
mhellman: what was the mileage of your car when you bought it? and whoever had it before probably didn't take good care of it.
to the OP: I bought my car from a classy guy who took care of the car and yea a couple things here and there go, but the car is a blast to drive and enjoy it doesn't matter. You get what you pay for. I fixed stuff on my maxima often too, just because it was cheaper, and not even that MUCH cheaper didn't leave me satisfied. The Audi is like a major league player compared to a single A player in regard to Honda/Toyota in my opinion. You're not going to get a perfect vehicle no matter what make/model at 70-90k. I got my 01 with 75k on it. So I'm fully expecting some maintence in the next 6-9 months. Which is fine, I want to keep the car in perfect shape because then I can sell it down the road, and enjoy it to its fullest potential now.
quattro > all
