My "What you guys think?" thread

[POS Neon]

Trying to find a dealership to trade the fireturd in to get some new wheels. Some of you's may have seen my past threads about looking at SRT's and A/S4 so you kinda know what I'm looking at (4dr, boost, optional in manual, light modding, DD, low miles) So instead of finding all these cars and posting a million threads I'll try to use just this one.



Anyways, driving around looking at some cars at dealerships near me, I found this car: http://www.larryroeschchryslerjeepd...-Audi-S4-0630a96a0a0d066900d16b37f2a0f5bd.htm

Was wondering what you guys opinion on the price/miles of it and if its even worth it. I'll keep posting up other cars I find.

Is it just me or does that seem like a low low price? I didnt know S4's were that affordable.

 

[pewterz55]

^ this. i dont know jack about these cars but that does seem like a good price.
and that interior looks damn good

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Good luck chasing down all of those electrical problems. S4's are great cars.....if you're an Audi tech.

 

[Krash7051]

Not a fan.

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

Not only the electrical problems, but the turbo's will eventually go out. You have to pull the engine for that. Also, I would ask if the timing belt has been changed. That job is a good chunk of change.

Based on what you are looking for, and if you are going to truely keep it lightly modded, I would look into the MazdaSpeed 6's.

I've heard nothing but bad things about VW in regards to reliability and repairs.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I like v8 audi's though

stay away from german engineering.

its a moneypit waiting to happen if you aren't doing it yourself.

shit even doing brakes on a jetta takes forever...have to bleed everything and its mother to get the pedal right.


buy apolly's banana boat.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I wouldn't touch that evo unless it was under $10k

MS6 are like 15k-20k, I'm trying to stay 10k or less.

He wants to much money.

This.

Thats what I thought.

That would be a tuff call. Your looking at either a cheap evo that has tons of miles and higher potential of being beat on vs a lower mileage higher cost one that still has the potential of being beat on.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

A car with that many miles and that modded would have to be really cheap. I'd just assume it'll need plenty of things replaced....plus is yellow.

 

[Primalzer]

VW/Audi repair cost = ridiculous, might as well own a Porsche

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I'd rather own a Porsche. Who wouldn't?

 

[Primalzer]

Would probably about the same cost to maintain

the one that's posted is a turbo v6.

i've heard the turbos like to implode, it's auto (fail), and the 105k mile service is a timing belt/water pump which is a $1000+ job (which you can bet hasnt been done).
keep looking. that one may be cheap now, but it will no doubt be a money pit.

Yea no shit. Was a separate statement.

kenny...you should buy a subi wagon so you can be cool

Buy my fireturd so i dont have to buy a new car, cause i would get more money on trade-in then private sale, so i can finally do my secret build.

Is this somehow a knock towards me I assume?
