99-0x 1.8T Quattro
<12k

As much as some say i know about electronics/pcs...that would be how little i know about cars...From talking to owners, reading threads here and other forums, I've decided this would be a fun car to own. Never really had much of anything in terms of a car so this would be a nice change. However, I can't read enough on edmunds/ebay/autotrader/cars.com to avoid getting hussled. Manual/Tiptronic neither is a deal breaker...manual would be more fun, tiptronic to avoid showing how rusty i prolly am driving the former. ITS LIKE A BIKE AMIRIGHT? thanks to anyone that offers advice.

GO!

This is all i've come up with...

I started making a list in OneNote with descriptions and links to the ads. I could only barely attempt to publish it with their PDF addon.

Why are you even looking at S4s if you are wanting to buy an A4?

6/21/2007 6:33:51 PM

i'm trying not to be a complete noob about this situation.

thoughts?

Though, it would seem like i might want to look for one that was family owned, opposed to one of these audi enthusiasts who prolly dogged it?

jnpaul may be looking to part with his 99

6/23/2007 9:08:10 AM

finders fee is $200

6/23/2007 11:16:12 AM

^^i've already been talking to him a bit. He said he has considered selling it, but didn't seem too avid.


Finder's fee? :\

I laid out about 5 or 6 different A4s i was interested and didn't get any advice or opinions on them, with the exception of a PM or two.

dont go looking for an a4 / s4 unless you can afford a car 2x the price

you'll be spending the difference in repairs, especially a high mileage B5
