and what do you think happens at 70-90k? timing belt. that job alone is at least a grand unless you DIY. o2 sensors will probly go soon. close to 200 a pop and 150 for labor. turbo's soon after. another couple grand (gotta pull the motor). throttle body boot and dv's also like to go out. probly a new MAF soon. the 15k figure wasn't just for the price of the car.

 

I did state that I do ALL work my self... also I am planning on getting one and having an extra 3k. I am not buying the one that I showed just wanted people to know that I could get one for the money. Not gonna find that price on ebay with a clean title and no accident history thats for sure. My big concern is the turbo's I would hope that at 70k miles they are still good though. The o2 sensor's and stuff I consider small things even at 200 a piece and I just looked it up my cost is 115 a piece. My goals for it would be K04s and tuned to RS4 or greater spec's anyways which will be COSTLY but I figure even if I saved the money to get a supercharger for the A4 I would then be basically maxed out and barely compare to a chipped S4. This isn't something I would do right now but in the next month or 2. It may be the only time I can get prices like this too. Also I think I will get a 3 year warranty on the car since its only $540 and should cover turbo's and stuff.

 

vr6 swap would end up costing less than a stage 3 s4

 

Maybe so but I've done engine swaps and I don't want to do one again. So may small things you need to get it done it makes me go crazy.
