Thanks, called on one of them, just hard to believe they still go for that much with the miles....kinda frustrating, i'd rather find one for like $12k super clean/low miles. But yeah, definitely a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Im sure if you offered the one guy 8 he'd take it! True, but I'd hate to drive 4hrs round trip to not find a clean car. My only reservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thats alot of miles. Look at this http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1131602353.html Seen that, its actually around the corner from me since I live in bexley too, just not sure if the auto would do, never owned an automatic...might though, its been for sale for a long time, probably pretty neogtiable.

Bam Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 which is faster stock? 1.8t gti or 03 srt4? which is easier to make faster? i'm assuming srt4, but i think i'd like the interior/ride/quietness of ride of the vw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 jones loves his audis but still claims he wont buy one out of warranty. I'd stay the hell away from them I'm sure he"ll chime in soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 jones loves his audis but still claims he wont buy one out of warranty. I'd stay the hell away from them I'm sure he"ll chime in soon Well there is some truth to this, however it also pertains to pretty much ALL german cars. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW etc will all be on the high side of maint/mod costs. The 2.7 Bi-turbo is known to be a maint heavy engine. Also, when coupled with the smaller A4 class, heat tends to be its worst nightmare killing turbos, seals and pretty much all rubber products because of the tiny engine bay. However in the larger A6 chassis, the 2.7T is much more reliable. They are not known to kill the turbo's, but the seals and rubber stuff still gets abused. I am an Audi/VW guy all the way, so I would be looking for a B6 (2002-2005) A4 Avant 1.8T Quattro manual. They can be had for around 10k for the avant and under 10k for the sedan. Add a chip and injectors and you have a fun to drive daily driver. For 10k you have a lot of choices. Mustang GT F-body GTP SRT-4 WRX My list would be MKIV(99-06) Jetta/GTI 1.8T/VR6 B6 A4 1.8TQM You can also pick up a good B5 S4 sedan for around 10k, but as stated, they are very expensive to keep usually.

Mustang GT - Had F-body - too small backseat GTP - Had SRT-4 - considering WRX - considering My list would be MKIV(99-06) Jetta/GTI 1.8T/VR6 -Found a clean 03 gti 1.8t/5spd loaded w/90k and tbelt/wp done for 7500 local at a dealer B6 A4 1.8TQM - haven't seen cheap enough You can also pick up a good B5 S4 sedan for around 10k, but as stated, they are very expensive to keep usually. Found a few s4's, but i want to stay away from the a4/s4 chassis since all the problems and work required to fix/change things out. thanks for the ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
