Exclamation Should I buy a meticulously owned b5 s4 with 136k miles

The car I'm looking to buy is a Santorin Blue 2000 B5 s4 with 136k miles. It was extremely well taken care of and is in the best possible condition a car with that many miles could be in. The car has been in a heated garage its entire life and I know the owner, he is the original owner. The car is stage 3+ with asp fueling and rs4 side mount intercoolers. The turbos were replaced to k04s at 105k miles, tranny rebuilt 105k give or take, and clutch 105k.

My controversy is that I currently own a stage 2 2000 S4 with 78k Miles and am considering buying the Blue one because I wont have the funds to complete my S4 when the time comes (turboes,fueling, intercoolers, etc). Someone I know is interested in buying my car so i would be able to purchase the stage 3 for a couple grand less. Does anyone think im nuts for considering doing this? I need opinions on the matter. I've heard that the S4 block is easily capable of going 200K+ and the turboes are relatively fresh.

it's a toss up...



but your s4 is a lot better dude. it's white, and only has 78k. i know you're trying to save $$ on the stage III process , but that time will come sooner or later for your white s4.. just my opinion. I wouldn't swap it for an s4 with 136k

I would keep your s4 too, as long as you got one... it almost have an extra 50K on it

Thanks for the advice. I'll probably keep mine and bust my *** to get the parts when the the time comes.
