Gonna pick up an S4.

[Angus]

looking at these two. Contacted both owners to start some talks today.

Nice red one w/ rims

nicely modded silver one

well this is my next car for sure. I've been in love with these S4's since my bro's 01 he had a bit ago. What ya guys think?

I'll probably still keep the sebring and either let my g/f have/use it or really just hold onto it since it's been in my family since new and is a good car...

can't wait.

dont buy one modded

 

[PANDA]

I was told Audi/VW are very unreliable. Remember that when your looking for a older/higher mile S4. My friend was going to buy one, but banned it after he found out how much it is to fix/maintain them. Eitherway its a nice car.

QFT!!!!

late 90's early 00's was NOT good years for reliable audi/VW.

Kims 89 VW Cabriolet ran out of oil 3 times, got beat to hell for 4 years, and mechanically we replaced A battery, A starter, a fuel pump *because she ran it out of gas and it burned up* and a Transmission *Again not maintained and beat to hell*

for a car nearly 20 years old, I think 3 minor repairs and 1 major repair is pretty damn good considering it wasn't maintained worth a damn, but the moment they went to the 'mark 3' platform in the mid 90's for the golfs/jettas reliability went down the hole for almost all VW/Audi models...

Go for the red one!!!!

[Mr Baytchos]

if that is the twin turbo s4 then stay away...stock turbo's go out in those things like crazy.....oh and you have to pull the engine to replace them....Splurge for the v8...you'll be happier in the end

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Its a nice looking/driving car regardless of reliability. Id also agree with not buying a modded car though.

 

[Angus]

there are links above each pic to the page...

the red one is stock and the silver one is modded.
I know about the TT s4's, my bro had one before and I would probably require myself to have an warranty added on...

 

[IDAFC21]

if your brother had one, im sure you know about the repair costs that come with these things SHOULD something go sour. if youre prepared for that, i say go for it, ive always loved those cars

he had always gotten aftermarket warranties on his s4 and s6 and thank god he did. mucho bucks were spent for repairs.

i agree with panda. was told by multiple people to stay away from pre-01 audis. know 2 friends who had more recent S4s, with the twin turbos. neither in the end appeared to be satisfied owners.

would not buy myself... dunno what they are going for but e46 m3's are obtainable for under 30 now. altho i'd advise waiting til more people are screwed and buying even cheaper...

 

[Angus]

these s4's in the links are 14k and 15k. I loved my bro's S4 and would've bought his when he sold it if I could've then...
quattro + TTv6 > $30k e46 M3

 

[PANDA]

quattro + TTv6 > $30k e46 M3

 

[sickmint79]

well that is a whole lot cheaper then. hope you are more satisfied than my friends were!

 

[Angus]

$15k quattro + TTv6 > $30k e46 M3

sorry, fixed and it's a better value to me. And what's really important to me is the awd.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i wouldnt bother. get a volvo S60R. those are CHEAP these days! 300hp awd.

not fast

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

neither are stock S4's. plus volvo's have alot less issues.

 

[syP]

I drove Mirza's s60r... it was sweet... i was just expecting more umph from 300 hp



he barely walked my 3.8" pullied GTP (after my new motor)

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

i'm sure its quite heavy like any other touring type sedan.

 

[Angus]

Still looking and looking hard at 04+ S4's...

probably going to look at this one on saturday.
