Oh, and if he thinks he needs a car, the I'd look into a 3000GT, as well...I've always really liked those cars. My neighbor had a loaded '94 SL, bright red on black leather, with 64k on it. He ended up trading it, though...I could've had that car, and probably a garage to put it in, for less than $8k.[&o]

Id reccommend an older 20v I5 s4.
i recently saw one in my area for around 3500 that was in somewhat bad condition and it could have been fixed up with the proper ammount of time, but not a lot of money. most of it was simple cheap stuff that just takes time to do.


yeah.
older s4 maybe?

I picked up my 2000 A4 1.8TQM for about $5,000. But I really sniffed out a deal because the guy who was selling it owned the grocery store chain that became Giant Eagle. He was just selling it to get the car out of his driveway.
