Should I buy this Audi?????
Im a current BMW 528i owner selling my car this weekend. I have the chance to pick up a 1999 Audi A4 Quattro with the 1.8 turbo. The guy told me the problems with the car
1) power windows and door locks are inop
2)major scratches all over the car
3) missing two 75 dollar trim pieces
4)the light on the dash are dim during the daytime?????? who knows?
are these common problems and is it going to be expensive to fix?
and by looking at the upgrade possibilities for the thing, im think mid grade turbo 475 horse for the car!!

depends on the price, could be a good deal. 5 speed or auto? miles? often when the door locks crap out, the cause is the trunk-mounted vacuum pump that operates them. however, the fact that the windows don't work either points to the switches in the driver's door. could be something simple like a blown fuse or broken wire, or something not so simple. if the trim pieces you're referring to are the lower door mouldings, those are easily had online and aren't $75 each. i just bought one for $55 or you can buy the whole set for $160. Not sure about the lights on the dash, thats a bit vague. you're gonna need more than a "mid grade turbo" to make 475whp

Sorry god of all Audi's! im just familiarizing myself with these cars. had a few questions. your pretty easily entertained if you have nothing better to do than to make fun of someones post. maybe you should concentrate on not being a retard!
so anyways, thanks for the heads up on the vacuum motor. ill look at that. the car is a 5 speed with 136000 on it. he said he checked the fuses but im not so sure. i looked up window motor assemblies for this and they were 350 a pop.
and im just daydreaming so far about the turbo

You call someone else a retard yet you had no license and got caught.....hmmmm.
Look around for a better car, there are many out there that have working windows and don't have scratches every where.
